I wasn't trying to scapegoat any party in particular. At it's most fundamental level this was about racism and misogyny.
I don't think that's accurate.
At it's most fundamental level this is about 100,000,000 voters who can't afford to miss a badly-needed day's pay, something that hasn't been addressed by either ruling party.
It's no one single thing at the most fundamental level. That is the biggest falsehood anyone will ever convince you of.
Any one of a hundred, a thousand, a million things could have changed and made enough of a difference. That doesn't mean they were the only thing.
Australia has the right idea, mandatory voting on a national holiday.
You're not wrong.
And as long as that's the only takeaway from this election, they'll continue ceding victories to the Republicans.
