I’m not saying I agree with trump voters. But democrats are completely incapable of self reflection and deserve losing this election as hard as they did after gaslighting the public about inflation and not doing a single fucking thing to stop these fascists. They had FOUR FUCKING YEARS to go after trump for J6 which is arguably the strongest case against him and they didn’t.
They had decades to make roe v Wade law. They didn’t. They lose elections on purpose and then fundraise off the loss. They block progressives and leftists and protect their corporate donors over making any kind of popularly supported change. When did the senate parliamentarian ever matter until it came time to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour? I’ve paid close attention to politics since 9/11 and I never heard of them until then.
The thing is that you're paying waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more attention to politics than the average joe six pack voter. The imagined reasons you have for why they voted the way they did are just that.
Average joe six pack knows they’re one missed paycheck away from disaster and voting accordingly. After all, biden/Harris said the economy has never been better!
The average joe six pack doesn't even know they're one missed paycheck away from disaster and they're out there looking at new F-150s hoping to get an approval. 🤞
Also, I watched a lot of Harris interviews and crap, and she would always start her statement with "I know a lot of people aren't feeling the progress we've made on the economy and that's why we want to X", but that was too nuanced for donkey brains.
She should've came out with a series of ads saying things like "I am running for president, the previous president is Joe Biden who stepped aside and will not be on this year's ballot" and then talked about basic governmental structures in the country...preferably over a popular song.
Everything I've read from the people on this site is analysis that would apply if the electorate wasn't full of complete idiots. However, it is.
Trump communicates on their level because he repeats obvious things over and over again and he is donkey brained just like them...that's part of the reason why he's their hero.
You’re not wrong. Problem is the dems don’t care, they’re just gonna fundraise off this. It’s hard to take their “he’s the next hitler!!!” bleating seriously when they’re just gonna hand over power like it’s not a real threat. Weimar Republic vibes.
They absolutely will. Even today, they're sending out fundraising emails for recounts or whatever. The emails start with things like "I know you're upset and things didn't go the way we wanted" and then launch into "SEND US $5, $10". It's really pretty ridiculous.
All I can hope for is that he isn't actually as authoritarian as everyone and everything seems to indicate. We'll see I guess.
They do the same thing when they talk about climate change. It makes everyone think it's just politics as usual. I think it's part of the reason people see them as so unauthentic...because they have to be lying in some way otherwise they wouldn't be behaving the way they are.
Because they are lying. They really don’t care. All they care about is $
If the voters are that stupid, then it should've been easy for Harris to get elected. Democratic politicians must be even stupider than the average voter is.
It's possible to be intelligent and disliked by stupid people. I think that's more common than being intelligent and well-liked by stupid people.
In addition, Harris is a woman. Stupid dudes definitely do not like it when a woman is smarter than them.
