Re: We are screwed.

Just because people voted for something does not make it right or so.  It only means a bunch of people voted for something.

So you think that you can bait me into defending their statements which
you take out of their context and that this debate which was settled at
the ballot box would somehow be useful here on the list? I think not.
The American public had a chance to evaluate your characterizations and
voted overwhelmingly against your characterizations...matter is settled.

56 million voters is clearly not irrelevant but the fact that 63 million
+ votes out performed them in an abundance of states in terms of the
electoral votes clinched the matter...it's not about hubris and
certainly not about my hubris.

As for 'working together to promote a unified country' - I replied to a
specific message that contained nothing like that. You might have snuck
those sentiments into a message that I didn't reply to but I only saw
and replied to what I saw...which was a repeat of the endless
mis-characterizations that dominated what passed as discourse for the
side that lost yesterday.
