Just to make sure i understand if a presidential candidate accuses someone of eating dogs, you vote for that person, but if an mts poster asks if someone is eating dogs its their true colors?

Wow, somebodys colors are coming out. 

Yeah, I hate Trump.  He is completely unfit and unqualified for office.  I don't agree with everything under the D umbrella, nor did I think voting third party was wise.  I voted for Harris as the best option.

Do you believe third party votes cost Harris the election?

I doubt it, but I don't know.

I preferred to vote for the candidates (lumping in VPs as well) with some actual redeeming characteristics about them that I might not agree with on certain policies as opposed to a candidate with no redeeming qualities that I might agree with on a few policies.

most likely outcome is the one many people are betting on: Trump will claim he solved any problem totally and strongly, his supporters will agree, and little of substance will actually get done

Especially on inflation. Biden will have done all the heavy lifting, Trump will take all the credit, and every red hat will totally forget that they are still paying 25% more for everything than they did in 2020, the very thing they hammered Biden/Harris for.

So, essentially, this was a wealth transfer program: Trump’s took the new tariffs he imposed and then transferred the money directly to multinational agribusiness corporations, not to be shared by anyone else in the chain—rather than either leaving the prices where they were and allowing consumers to pay less for farm products, or using the additional tax receipts from tariffs to pay for other government programs. Result: more money out of pocket of consumers going directly into the pockets of agribusiness for the same amount of goods. Slick.

I can understand that. Too bad they put a terrible candidate in Harris out as their best option.

Maybe I shouldn't feed the troll, but I kinda want to pivot back to Archie's comment yesterday about "giving him a chance".... honestly, despite the actual election result, I think your position is probably closer to the median position than most. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a bunch of people who would agree with you on the first three sentences, yet ultimately voted for Trump anyway (people have different calculations, for better or worse)

All of this is to say that, as Trump has won the election... the onus on him, not the greater population, to prove it. And yeah, when he selects someone as unqualified as Kristi Noem to a position like HHS Secretary, it shouldn't exactly come as a shock to people that it's going to get criticized.
