The Daily Show founder Jon Stewart took issue with the Democratic Party’s strategy after Vice President Kamala Harris was soundly defeated both in the electoral college and the popular vote by President-elect Donald Trump.

“We were prepared for all scenarios and each one of those scenarios, it was, how is Donald Trump going to finagle his way back into the way? How is he going to use undemocratic principles? What, what measure of intimidation and underhanded shenaniganery [sic] will this man use to worm his way back into the Oval Office,” Stewart said in a post-election episode of his Weekly Show podcast.

“And it turned out, he used our electoral system as it is designed.”

Stewart continued, “And in that moment, I thought, well, “f**k, I’m not sure we have a team of lawyers for that. I don’t know if we have a team of canvassers for that, which, by the way, I don’t ever in my life want to hear about our vaunted ground game will put us over the top. It’s a 50-50 toss-up race, we’re sure of it, but ‘the vaunted ground game.’ It turns out that people knocking on other people’s doors doesn’t get them to do what you want them to do.”

“Uh, f**k us, f**k me. Uh, I was wrong, will continue to be wrong.”

Stewart also ripped mainstream pollsters in an Election Day episode of The Daily Show. Several polling firms that feature prominently in respected polling aggregates like FiveThirtyEight and RealClearPolitics — including Marist, Morning Consult and Ipsos — were wildly inaccurate while the Brazil-based Atlas Intel was the most accurate pollster for a second straight presidential election.

New pollsters like Quantum Insights and ActiVote — which were slandered as inaccurate and biased by New York Times election analyst Nate Cohn in the lead-up to the election — were also far more accurate than the “A-rated” pollsters.

“We don’t, it hasn’t been completely called yet, we don’t exactly know what all the results are going to be. Our time is running out. I do want to very quickly send a quick message to all the pollsters, the election pollsters: blow me,” Stewart ranted as Vice President Harris’ defeat appeared imminent. “I don’t ever want to fu**ing hear from you again. Ever.”
