What Happened in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

This all could have gone so differently.  We could have had an intelligent, compassionate, and fair-minded president, yet we opted for one of the most disgusting human beings ever to have walked the planet,  And of course, we knew exactly what we were buying into.

In hindsight, it’s clear that the Democrats took too much for granted.  Instead of pushing the facts into the faces of lifelong Republicans, we erroneously presumed that American voters had some level of ethical sensibilities.

Had I been advising Harris’s campaign, I would have said, “We have a choice to make, principally between honesty and criminality.  But it’s also a question of this: Do you want to be ruled with a small cadre of greedy billionaires who couldn’t care less about you or American democracy? You re-elect Trump, and the vision of the Founding Fathers will be crushed to smithereens.”
