25. Neither Hillary or Kamala won.
Wed Jan 21, 2026, 10:40 AM
Yesterday

You can argue that Russia used Facebook and other social media to target misinformation to voters in swing states, but in terms of votes cast, Trump won swing states with Democrats in charge.

For Kamala, she lost Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona all with Democrats controlling the state government.

We should NOT be like Republicans claiming we won when we didn't. Not to mention, we still need to understand why he won in spite of a very nasty campaign and 34 felony convictions! It seems that in all elections since 2016, there has been enough unhappiness that being the party in power is a negative.
