What if Kamala Harris had been elected?

Off the top of my head........

1) No tariffs.
2) No reason not to release all Epstein files.
3) No war in Iran, because Bibi had no kompromat on Kamala.
4) We support the fight in Ukraine and stopped the slaughter a year ago.
5) Canada/US/Mexico solidify our trade interdependence.

No fugly Shitler monuments planned.
No goddamned golf course to replace DC’s cherry trees.
Medicare, SS, etc. unthreatened.
No ICE bullshit.
No Jan 6 slush fund.

with the daily "Kamala!" variety grievance show. Everyone would be angry and everyone would be happy but not know it.

That's the "status quo" right there, Democrats actually governing while everyone enjoys complaining and nitpicking.

which is funny, because they aren't doing that now, when corruption is literally the only thing that horrible thing is good at.

Nothing would be enough, the media the mouthpiece for the corporations would rip her to shreds. America is getting what she asked for.
