Nah I’m going to blame 70+ million Americans who chose a racist, sexist felon, fraud, rapist fascist over a black moderate woman.
I blame the 70ish million who decided the whole voting scene just wasn’t for them.
(And the misogyny. Holy shit the misogyny)
I’m sure misogyny also played a big role in her numbers. But if Harris firmly opposed any material or diplomatic support for genocide, then she probably would have won despite the misogynists, no?
No
There are not 5 million people sitting around who give a shit about any of that
The problem was the one-third of eligible people who didn’t vote, the people who wanted an immaculate president, and when they didn’t get it, took a stupid, petulant moral high ground. Abstention and voting in protest only helps the enemy.
Anyone who thinks the Gaza situation or the treatment of muslims will improve under Trump is a fucking moron.
I think people just want a president who doesn’t materially support genocide. If that is too high a bar, then your country deserves what it gets.
So they’d rather have a president who would support a genocide even more. Seems like a great decision.
Also, there were other issues at play in this election. Even Bernie Sanders said so
Since when are people who facilitate fascism my allies?
Yeah, because foreign policy decisions should definitely be made based on poll numbers.
I don’t like our unconditional support of Israel, but this is a bad take.
So in your view, she bears zero responsibility for promising to continue foreign policies that remain deeply unpopular among her own voter base? She was aware this was an election, right?
the democrat leadership is to blame. i bet they’ll run further right with republicans next election cycle. nowadays it seems they dont care about policies anymore, all they know is just running around shouting things like “abortion!” “trump bad”.
Seeing that Trump was voted and looking at the utter bullshit that came put of his holes… What makes you think that anything they said was the reason?
I get it, Trump says insane shit. But the undeniably truth is that it doesn’t matter, pointing out Trump is bullshiting everyday won’t help (but calling out his bullshit is still needed). Democrats need good policies to energize its own base. Joe Biden already has a very low-level approval rating, they need something new, something can resonate with voters, yet Kamala basically ran the campaign like “i’m just like joe biden”. (or even worse on things like border).
The DNC has achieved their actual goal of defeating Bernie Sanders and maximizing dead Arab children. They’ve never cared THAT much about beating Trump.
I blamed the DNC

You can put a made up email as long as it fits the xxx@yyy.com scheme.
I told them all to resign and congratulated them on chasing the mystical moderate all the way off a cliff
Blame the Democratic party and Joe Biden. They didn’t put anyone serious up during the primaries against him, they held out from replacing Biden until the last minute and then they lumped Harris with his campaign and no time.
Biden should have stood aside last year (as many voices pushed for), and then the party’s best and brightest should have been given the chance to be the candidate. It might have been Harris, who knows, but whoever it was would then have had the whole of 2024 across the primaries to establish a profile and narrative and tackle Trump.
And maybe a fresh candidate could have broken through on the most important topic to voters: the economy.
