I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    It’s been “too late” for 'mericans to “win back the country” for a couple of decades at least. I mean, the entire electoral/voting system needs to be redone from the ground up because it’s very non-democratic.

      If Trump won the electoral college but not the popular vote I’d say it is.non-Democratic. But he won the popular vote too. So half the country are just self destructive.

        California has only counted around half their votes so a popular vote win for Kamala could be a thing.

        People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

        If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.

          My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant aside from the president. Hell, they didn’t even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

        There were no good options. And that’s because of the electoral system.
