7. Another triumph for democracy

But, that's not how the MSM will see it. It will be treated as a major blow to Joe and Kamala's bid for a second act. It will be reported as a setback for Democrats. The media will spin the story so hard it will become orbital, especially the NYT, considering Sulzberger's whiny complaint about an interview.
I've no doubt Roevember's voter turnout will be massive with a big win for Joe and Kamala. I'm concerned, however, about ignorant voters who want 'divided' gummit and will vote for idiot Republicans so they can keep throwing sand in the gears.
