When you look at the percentages in those 3 states that put asshole over the edge...no other conclusion.

Disappointing that the public wasn't entrusted with this info at the time. I believe "they" (IC, Obama admin?) were worried about creating chaos right after 2016 election.

about Kamala during the presidential campaign was generated by the Russians who were determined to define her early so she didn't have a chance at winning. I'm not sure how to tell which posts are legit & which are from a foreign intruder. We need to find out how to out people like that. I HOPE some techies at the campaign or with the DNC will tell up all how to spot that stuff & bury it!
