It's such an interesting feeling to get an American election wrong the first time since 2008 - the year I started paying attention and making predictions.

So, I underestimated the voter turnout and RFK/Stein getting all the critical votes.

Now, the problem is that I'm faced with even a bigger issue. I've been looking at it from every consumable angle and I can't find an explanation to this low number of voters at all. This is the first time when even the hindsight doesn't seem to be 20/20.

MSM failed. But for the sake of an argument, let's just blame Ana Kasparian 😁
But what's even more frightening is that today I realised that most left-leaning political commentators are completely out of touch with what they presume the voters really care about.

Over the last couple of months I've been consuming hours and hours of TikTok political debates by all those young and smart democrat debaters over there. They actually have a better understanding of what an average American voter, especially in the red states, needs and feels.

Now, If the MSM/YouTube political commentators had worked together and done interviews or even crossovers, the messaging on the media side would have been definitely much better. Many people are completely pissed, and for god's reason.

Compared to what Trump did in 2020, I really hope the losing site will accept whatever the final result by the 11th of December would be. Well, I know they will.

However, I said it a couple of hours ago on TikTok and I'm going to say it here too: this might not be the actual final result 😏
And the margins are within the range of potential outcome-determinative changes in some states if a recount found some errors.
