    Not that this matters anymore but she is going to lose Michigan due to Wayne County. Its two fold of just overall less turnout in the County and less votes for her compared to 2020.

    I think on Jan 6th a bunch of Dems should arrive at the capitol and hold the door open for him because why stop now

    Serious question: Does Trump even serve his entire term?

    He's all about winning. He just ran to get revenge and there is nothing for him on the other side of these four years.

    Also needed to immune himself of all the crimes he committed.

    Once that is all sorted out, I could see him stepping down.

    Yeah they're not retaking the Senate in 2026 unless he massively fucks up so bad that that red seats turn blue.

    I do wonder what the wisdom would be of Brown running for Vance's open seat in Ohio and Tester going for the other senate seat in Montana would be. Not sure if those are the best candidates or what.

    And maybe get better at aiming. A loooooot of problems coulda been solved by some extra hours at the range.

    Keeping it a buck… it’s tough to even be happy and not worry about the state of this country constantly. Especially the next 4-8 years.

    this is all there is

    I fucking hate what Joe "stands" for and I do NOT think it would have swayed the election as a whole, but ignoring Rogan's sphere of influence does feel like one of many mistakes. Doing this type of interview, especially early on, could have helped. If Mayor Pete is cool to do Fox spots, Harris should have been willing to take Rogan's questions.

    I saw several people yesterday interviewed by news media leaving polls saying they didn’t vote for her because she didn’t do rogan. Mostly young men

    You have to have a plan to combat that whole right wing sphere of podcasts, just doing Rogan does not get rid of that issue. It might have dampened it but it was going to get her to a victory by just doing Rogie.

    I can’t stop thinking about all of the money that goes into and is generated from a losing campaign. I keep thinking of how the Oakland A’s make more money being in last place than by trying to build a winning baseball team and how, at the end of the year, you look at a piece of paper that says you made a shit ton of money and it doesn’t matter what your product did or didn’t do.

    McKay might make some bad movies, but he’s always been a fairly real one when it comes to politics.

    Yeah i mean fuck Joe Rogan, but there’s something to be said for meeting people where they’re at. If you’ve gotta go on Rogan to breakthrough with certain folks, that’s worth doing.

    Didn't know the same guy did both those movies. Big short was amazing and don't look up was hot garbage. Steve carrell makes a difference.

    Yeah Rogan alone wasn’t gonna solve it but refusing to meet voters where they’re at is kind of the whole problem

    Also the message she would spew in that Rogan interview is the majority of the issue, just going on Rogan and spewing that is not going to fix the issue. That is what I have the biggest problem with that Ro Khana point, its avoids the problem by laying it just at not doing something.

    Tbf Rogan was being a baby by forcing her to meet him in Austin

    I promise I won't defend her more lol
