And, C) We will never have a female president because we have a quasi- direct vote for president. Oh, and D) Everything good, MAGA will and when their crap policies lead to more and more Americans struggling, the propaganda machine will lay the blame in democrats and they will be believed!

Ok... so here are my thoughts, currently. A) The election broke my brain and I am out. I don't believe any of the talking heads anymore...shame on me for forgetting the lesson I learned in 2016. I will vote, but will try to get my information from direct'ish sources...
