and we all voted for Kamala and we worked for her with the Asheville Democratic committees........put in lots of time! We all suffered on election night. We couldn't believe that she lost. How was that possible? Lots of very sad people here that night. Somehow, the 'Bait and switch' seemed to apply to us in the craziest way and we felt that we had been "had" as we had to take down all the lovely decorations.
