The election results are, IMO, quite unfortunate for the U.S. and globally.

 I voted for Harris/Walz.  

This REALLY should have been an easy election for the Democrats to win.  Both Harris and Walz are good, caring people with intelligence.

I have what I believe is a very legitimate theory to explain WHY Harris/Walz did not ultimately win.  I am hoping in the next day or two to try to write out why I think the outcome is as it is.  Yesterday, I mentioned how I really "didn't care" who would win anymore.  I still voted for Harris/Walz because I felt it was intellectually the right and correct choice.  That statement of "didn't care" was a bit of hyperbole.... but also did spoke of some true feelings as well.  I will have more ideas to share on this in the next couple of days, I think.

Whatever else is true, it does appear than millions of voters stayed home compared to 2020.

I am distraught and heartsick. And frightened. I'm relieved that WA chose a Democratic governor at least and hope he can keep us mostly safe from the Maga craziness.

Are you suggesting that because they’re good, caring, intelligent people it should have been easy for them to win?
Oh that we lived in such a world.

No, but given the alternative, there really should not have been any other vote cast.
