Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Jill Stein


K-Pax did not block out, there is no news regarding black boxes switching votes (which is coming from any reliable source, I should say), Jill Stein didn't get 5% nationally. I feel about the same today as I did yesterday: a little crummy but copacetic.

My empathies to Ted McLaughlin, Charles Kuffner (who never seems to see it coming), Brad Friedman (head cheerleader for the Blues to the bitter end), Neil "Lost Democracy" Aquino, and all my other former Donkey friends for the anguish you must be feeling this morning. Mrs. Diddie feels your pain if that makes you feel any better.

I do not.
I hate to say I saw it coming. No, really.

My first real suspicions came a week ago so I put down that marker. Then I saw the news about the whacked-out polling (the 'herding') but before that I had read about the Trump supporters hiding from the pollsters' telephone calls. There was cartoon about it in the 10/27 Funnies.

So that explains the Red Wave (to a degree; they mobilized their vote), but what about the Blue Ebb? Why didn't Democrats turn out?

You don't think it was the genocide, do you? Nah. Must've been something else, like resentful Black men or sexists/misogynists in general or maybe it was Joe Biden, the most progressive president since FDR, not stepping aside soon enough. It probably wasn't affordable healthcare or the economy or climate change, of course. I'm sure the autopsies performed by the Democratic braintrust will figure it out in the coming days. Or weeks. Or months.

Let's see how long it takes for them to suss it out.
