    I did not vote for him, nor have I ever voted for him. I can’t regret a decision I didn’t make.

    I do not like Trump, and I made it abundantly clear that I don’t like either scenario.

    Where is the trolling?

      I don’t think you’re trolling. But people are in shock and feeling salty for what has happened. For those that don’t agree with you, the case can be easily explained: If you didnt vote for Harris, you’re considered as an enabler for Trump to be in power, thus you’re at fault no matter the reasons.

        Which is absolutely ridiculous because only 8 states had any chance of deciding the election. I don’t live in one of those states, and even if I somehow convinced >10% of my state (the gap is almost always at least 20%) to vote for Harris and flip my state, Trump still would’ve won.

        I understand the saltiness, but it’s completely misdirected. It’s more valuable, IMO, to discuss with those who also didn’t vote for Trump what it would’ve taken for them to vote for Harris, not vilify them.

          You’ll need to wait a while longer if you want to discuss anything constructive. People are in denial. How come they lost when they’ve done everything right? It must be someone’s else fault. Even Harris probably doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with her campaign. So now you’ll see news starting coming out blaming Biden etc. And now is the time to blame, to find someone to throw under the bus.

          As I said earlier, for anything constructive, we’ll need to wait a bit longer.

            Agreed, but I do think it’s incredibly dumb and childish. I would much rather have constructive conversation about what Harris could have done differently to get a different outcome, what Biden and the current Congress plan to do between now and inauguration day, and perhaps some speculation about what Trump’s first 100 days might look like.
