    No ground was gained Trump won. Decades of progress erased in 7 months. The genocide in Israel has accelerated. And our economy is crashing.

    If Dems won and kept things as they were 7 months ago everything would be demonstrably better than they are now.

    Would there still be issues? Of course there are always issues, but it would have been much better.

      While this is all true, i can’t imagine that the left would have been celebrating a democratic win today if she won in the fall. If they truly wanted a democratic win (or to gain an inch) they would have pinched their noses and voted for Kamala

      That’s true I guess. Way too superficial for my liking, but that’s outside the scope of this conversation. The person I replied to said there would be (small) gains from electing Harris, not just less losses, so I was asking for them yo elaborate.

        To address small gains I could have seen at the very least Roe v. Wade being codified by a Harris White House.
