I could probably count the things that weren't mistakes on one hand.

  1. Tim Walz.

...

That's about it. Looks like I only needed one finger. Dang.

A lot of people out there disagreeing with this, saying Josh Shapiro (PA Governor) would have been a better choice, and helped lock down PA.

[–] 5C5C5C@programming.dev 10 points 10 hours ago

She would have lost Michigan and Wisconsin by even larger margins if she went with Shapiro instead of Walz.

There’s a pretty good argument this too was a mistake given what happened in PA. At least one swing state might have been saved…

  1. Not 70+ years old.

Still managed to make enough mistakes to offset Trump's age.

Frankly, that wouldn't have been a mistake if it had been Bernie.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

It still would be a mistake and would prevent some people from voting for him, but Bernie would at least compensate for it by actually supporting popular policies instead of the opposite and have some energy.

and as awful as trump is, he wasn't even the worst part of his campaign or his administration. Metaphorically speaking, America voted a rabid feral jackal, but what's really gonna fuck us are the fleas hiding in its mangy, matted, filthy coat and the parasites teeming in its guts.
