    Yeah, he won through good old misinformation, propaganda, and blatant lies

    You forgot voter suppression and gerrymandering. There is an old saying that in amerika, the politicians pick their voters… which is literally the opposite of democracy.

      No I didn’t forget, you just stopped reading.

      While voter suppression and Republican election meddling is a real issue, our country sucking is the real underlying problem. We couldn’t even do a fucking thing about the insurrection four years ago.

      Suppression I can give you, gerrymandering doesn’t have a play in the federal election… and as shitty as the electoral college is, we can blame 2016 on it, but not 2024 (due to the popular vote).
