(Alternative title: Huh, I didn't expect that. Here's why.)
I started this article a couple months before the election because I figured a record of what probably happened would make sense, and I'm releasing it on the day we know who won. I personally think there's no way Harris wins, and a bunch of the electorate will be totally confused because they fail the important axiom of Sun Tzu: "Know your enemy and know yourself and you will win 1000 battles" -- they don't know their enemy and they don't know themselves, so they lose.
I already kind of expect a certain response to a post like this. The right won't really be that interested in what I have to say here because they already know, and the left will want to downvote and report it into oblivion because that's what they've become. As for the center? Well, I guess it depends how they lean. The real chads will see what I've got to say to see if it actually helps describe what happened just now at all. I mean, if I'm wrong, I'm just an idiot on the Internet, so who cares?
On the fediverse I've been cast down from the good graces of the wokerati for my wrongthink, but I wasn't so different from them not so long ago. In 2008 I hoped Obama would win like most people my age, but in 2015 I hoped Trudeau would win like most people my age. I'm not a US citizen, didn't vote in this or any US election (though I've joked about illegally immigrating to vote since a certain political party down there seems to think illegal immigrants voting is the best thing ever), so this is a view from someone who doesn't really have a direct horse in the race. I have my opinions about each option and I'll be clear with those, but keep in mind at the end of the day I'm not a Republican, it's not physically possible. (Oh, but if you're thinking of moving up here to get away from the maga chuds, don't bother. By this time next year there'll be a huge majority government headed by Pierre Poilievre, who is a J.D. Vance type character on the right. If you think he can't be that bad, Alex Jones specifically called him out as good people. If you want to go somewhere 'friendly', England just voted in a Labour majority, go hang out with them)
For those keeping track, in the 2024 election, Joe Biden won the Democratic primary, and the entire media claimed he was "sharp as a tack" (they all used the exact same phrase oddly enough), until the first debate which showed the world that wasn't really the case anymore. There was a palace coup, and Joe "stepped down", and Kamala Harris was coronated the new candidate. They didn't run a primary at all, she got the position through backroom deals (which we'll talk about in a bit).
Starting at -1 (because it isn't really a point as to why Kamala lost), moving onto 0 (because it's just our backdrop), and then from there on we'll discuss all the reasons Kamala just lost the presidential election.
