    If someone though Harris is far left then that person wasn’t gonna vote for her anyways. Just as if someone didn’t vote for Trump “because Harris said he is far right”.

    And yesterday some idiot told me that voting for Harris is the same as voting for Reagan, did that cost her the election too?

    Single issue voters and people who got too comfortable and stayed home cost her the election.
