“After an unexpected landslide victory, Donald Trump will become the 47th President of the United States and Vice President Kamala Harris won’t. After elections there is always the temptation among the electorate to give up and check out of politics or to grandstand, based on whether your preferred candidate lost or won. This fails to recognize that politics isn’t something that occurs every four years on the first Tuesday in November. Politics happen constantly, and voting in an election is only one way that people can participate. There’s also the temptation to blame specific classes of voters for a loss, either for voting the ‘wrong way’ or not showing up to vote at all. That’s unhelpful.” (11/14/24)
