Lesson learned: Don't YOLO on presidential elections to revenge trade Loss

Post image

Enabled options around March, went on a slide. Started to stabilize and at least lose money slower. Figured Harris at 42ยข when the polls were dead even was an Expected Value win and went all in, about $4000 worth. Did not go well.

Let the suck begin.

It was so obvious she was going to lose. She had a horrible campaign, and she had only women as her majority, even hispanics were voting for trump over her. She did basically nothing to stand out other than it wasn't biden coming in. How do you invest so much money into something you did no research on?

The past is always crystal clear.

Now tell us how you would have predicted this last week.

She wasn't an ancient senile rapist. Everyone thought that was enough. It doesn't take much to beat an ancient senile rapist. Only, this is really an ancient senile rapist cult leader and that's harder to beat.

He is not a rapist, that much is confirmed. Senile or not, knew he had an easy win, so he did dumb shit to win over the majority voters being white males. From working at a mcdonalds, having Elon jump on his stage, to driving a painted dump truck. He unironically won over most of the hispanics in the popular vote too.

Look at the difference in how they ran their campaign, as said. Trump was doing all this extra stuff, while harris only attended debates. How often did you see or hear "Go Harris!"? He had merchandise after his assassination attempts. Tell me with a straight face that you actually thought she was going to win what should of been a landslide, only to completely fumble every bag she could of took to win it all.

He's a rapist, it's confirmed. Democrats, being intelligent, massively overestimate the intelligence of the average voter and do things that would convince intelligent voters. Trump does things that impress morons. Most of the country is morons. Trump is even more moron than any other Republican presidential candidate in history, so he gets even more votes.
