    Do you say that to the people who are saying Harris would have done the same things that Trump is doing, or is that only a response to people saying it’s blatantly fucking obvious that she wouldn’t? Sounds like cope to me.

      we can’t know what would have happened if she had won because she didn’t win.

      I don’t see anyone saying she would have invaded iran, though, so I’ve never had the opportunity to educate such a person on the unprovableness of nonfactuals

        We can.

        We can know that she wouldn’t have the same administration who have been doing this shit. You can make some logical deductions that if we didn’t have Hegseth and the heritage foundation pulling all the strings with no consequences for their actions that things would, inarguably, not be happening as they are now. We can be sure the Venezuela and Cuba shit wouldn’t be happening. There are plenty of things that we absolutely can guarantee would not be happening, it just requires you to pull your head out of your ass.

          this does not give us access to an alternate reality in which kamal won. it’s just storytelling. there is no evidence for it because there can be no evidence for it.

            It’s not about getting a wish, it’s about establishing accountability for actions and faulty reasoning. Do better next time, if there is one.
