    If candidate 1 is garbage, and candidate 2 loses to candidate 1, what does that say about candidate 2?

        Yep. Garbage in, garbage out.

        Idiocracy is a documentary.

        Though I’ll say it shouldn’t come as a surprise that voters vote against their own interests when the waters of truth are so muddied by the rich and powerful.

      That the electorate has been primed to applaud fascistic tendencies as long as they are not called “fascist” by a 24/7 deluge of propaganda networks. The caricature of Harris painted in a phalanx of right-wing disinformation channels looks worse than the picture they painted of Trump. Reality has not had as much impact on this election as one would hope.
