      That’s not going to work. Biden got 5.2 million votes in NY in 2020. Harris just got 4.1 million. Trump did about the same both times. There was a huge enthusiasm gap on the left. Moving people around won’t work. If people aren’t going to come out to vote in NY, they aren’t going to do it in bumfuck Indiana.

        Yeah nah I’m being a bit facetious… The whole situation really saps the soul. It’s a complex, multifaceted issue with no simple solutions in sight. It took years to build up the problems we’re facing, it’ll take years to resolve. There will be set backs, probably several in the next X years…

        I’m tired, I’m frustrated, I’m utterly bewildered.

        Take a beat, lick your wounds, hug your loved ones. After a brief moment to mourn what could have been, we have a lot of work to do. My bet is still on empathy and reason prevailing in the long run. Here’s hoping we get there, one baby step at a time, baby.
