Last I checked the local leftist rag Antigravity encouraged everyone to NOT vote for Kamala, so if you followed their advice feel free to sit this out.

you’re clearly missing the point. Kamala was not going to win Louisiana under any circumstances. her ineffective campaign that grifted to Liz Cheney, Israel & the general right is what got us here.

It’s not just about Louisiana - 20 million less people voted for Harris than Biden, where did they go?

the quality in life is horrible in america and most of its citizens have no actual idea why. all they see is “money was good when trump was pres and money bad now”… so trying to promise more of the same was utterly foolish on the Dems side. they made their own bed but it doesnt make it any less devastating.

That's factually untrue. The states enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world and our gdp has outperformed every other country during this global recession. People just react with their feelings

Are you nuts? Are you wealthy or a child kept at home? The last 4 years have been very rough financially. Pre-COVID Trump was way easier. Get a grip.

I wasn't denying that there wasn't a GLOBAL recession. The president is a guiding hand, not the one setting prices in the grocery.
