sufficient time has passed for takes on this subject to actually be informed by more than snap judgements, ideological impulses, and ill-advised guesstimates. also, virtually all votes have now been counted. if you'd like to post about your theories of what went wrong and why, you should now have the data to argue it without things just being a total clusterfuck. thank you for your compliance

It's one of those things that aged really well.

He's clearly in full-on "fuck it, I guess this falls to me" mode.
