Yeah, this one was wild. A bunch of our ballot measures went badly, including the heavier sentencing for drugs one getting overwhelming support, even among Democrats. The minimum wage increase also get rejected.

This was apparently the election where people decided to be their worst selves.

A lot of liberals and leftists sat out the election in comparison to conservatives.

Have the numbers for that come in yet?

They are still counting ballots. It looks like Trump will have the similar number of votes he had in 2020. In contrast, Harris will have over 10 million, or about 13%, fewer votes.

That is depressing.
