        Well, in the end it didn’t matter. Harris lost by such a large margin, none of the votes that went to Jill Stein would have mattered anyway.

        I mean, you guys lost the freakin’ popular vote to Trump!

        The majority of the United States didn’t agree with you or your candidate. And they showed you just how much they didn’t like you guys by voting.

        Trump won the election, and the popular vote; the Republicans won the Senate AND the House.

        You and other democrats need to change your methods and your attitudes.

        Your bullying didn’t change my mind, or the minds of all the voters who voted for Trump. Remember when you all accused me of being a bot? And accused me of being Russian. And said I’d disappear after election day? Or that I was a team of people posting “propaganda”?

        None of it was true, and it was just bullying, and you guys trying to quiet any dissenting voices.

        That’s why you lost, friend.

        And I’m still here, having the best time of my life.
