People are still looking at Kamala and saying “It could have been so much worse! Who else was there to vote for?”

Sparks fears? No, stupid, these aren't fears. The US government HAS set us back decades at a minimum and is continuing to do more damage

Oh nooooo I really hope it doesn't affect anyone like the American Fork Police Department. That would be soooooo sad.

Conservatives, bigots, racists, etc really are the lowest iq of us all aren't they? That's the political line isn't it? It's also the wealthiest who also tend to be that too.

Punishes us all as a species for being so damn stupid. We asked for it honestly.

I'm not saying that's good, but that is also natural selection.

Just doesn't have the schadenfreude attached.

I mean, it’s not the kids deciding whether or not to take the vaccine, it’s the parents who likely got vaccinated when they were children.
