minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoI think they mean “beaten badly” as in “lost control of all three branches of government” not so much “Trump landslide vote.” The person you responded to even said “Dems got beaten pretty bad” not “Harris got beaten pretty bad.” By the metric of losing the house, losing the senate, losing the judiciary, and losing the presidency is a pretty deep blow.
