      We all knew it was going to be Kamala or Trump no matter what. The last 3rd party candidate to win a single EV vote was Wallace in 1968. Ross Perot won like 19% of the popular vote and zero EC votes. Across the entirety of all state and federal legislative offices, fewer than 1% are held by 3rd party candidates. Third party isn’t happening without electoral reform, and you won’t get that by losing elections. The voters and non-voters collectively put Trump in office.

        You want reality to be something other than it was.

        Democrats put Trump into office with their intentional and abysmal approach to electoralism.

        Blaming the voter is like a basketball player blaming the court. The players decide entirely how to respond to it
