Unrelated, but I don't feel all that bad about the extend to which I predicted this election wrong.
It turns out I live and vote in the only state that went more for Harris than for Biden. So I did, in fact, have a pretty good pulse on the public opinion in my state. It's just that Washington state was moving one way and the rest of the country was moving the opposite direction.
This reminds me that I've actually not heard anything from Rachelle Maddow since she made a podcast series about Spiro Agnew last year. I've actualy not even heard what her take on the election is.
Millenial and Gen Z liberals are pretty disconnected from what goes on on cable news tbh. Of all the mainstream media figures John Oliver probably has the best pulse on what the left of center Millenials think and feel, based on my experience with a *lot* of left leaning Millenials (I don't know all that many Gen Zers persoanlly so less comfortable commenting on them).
People saying Trump didn't actually win these elections are just as annoying and dumb as the people who said Trump actually won the 2020 elections, yes, we agree on that. I still have hope this time it won't turn into an attempted coup, though.
