Yeah, this one was wild. A bunch of our ballot measures went badly, including the heavier sentencing for drugs one getting overwhelming support, even among Democrats. The minimum wage increase also get rejected.

This was apparently the election where people decided to be their worst selves.

It didn't help that democrats had a hard-right pivot by laundering the racist "border crisis" narrative and didn't propose any progressive alternative narratives to anything else.

That or the many other demoralizing speeches. We did not need to hear Clinton talk about human shields.

Whoever sent Clinton to Dearborn should be sent into the smoking wastes never to return
