Instead of a red mirage, we got a blue stayathomeandnotvote. Harris got 10-13M votes less than Biden in 2020, and even Trump seems to be getting less votes than the last time (counting still ongoing). I was told there would be a record turnout in this election.
That's the thing about records: they aren't always positive/in the trajectory you are hoping for
If it had been a record low, then sure. But I don't think we broke records in that direction either.
I went to bed Tuesday thinking I was going to wake up to much better news lol, I feel mislead
Reminds me of 2016. All the polls and guesses were Hillary had it in the bag. Woke up that morning feeling like someone sucker punched me.
I've been wary of predictions since then if for nothing else than to save me from developing a drinking problem to cope. Expect the worst and you'll never be surprised.
I just assume the worst. Unfortunately this time I was right.
We'll have to see what happens when the final numbers come in, but I suspect the polls had it more wrong this time than in 2016. They actually weren't that far off at that time. People forget that Hillary did actually win the popular vote, and the national polls were within margin of error. That might not be the case this time.
I tried to warn people. But no one here wanted to listen.
Blue shift when?
