@artemis I think that we were too focused on those who agree with us and didn't pay much attention at all to those who had tuned out a long time ago.

Put another way: we amplified the noise.

@artemis @kel
My vote hasn’t been counted yet. Places that weren’t close may not even count the provisional ballots.

@kel @artemis I think COVID was a real advantage in a way. People had few distractions they were allowed to pursue so voting out Dumpy was a much bigger priority. Now we're past the pandemic and people have freedom of movement and ignorance they chose to exercise. And overconfidence that right would prevail, thinking the anomalous voting numbers of 2020 were the new normal or indicative of a trend towards blue.
