    it was the voters who willingly voted for Trump just to spite Harris

    it wasn’t. if every spite vote for Trump had been reallocated to Harris, the election wouldn’t shift by even more than one ~electoral college vote~ swing state.

    • yes those individuals behaved stupidly.
    • no, they are not a valid excuse for the democratic party to have abandoned the needs of the country.
