Dollars, my taxes? Wrong country, mate.

Good strawman.

And I didn’t (I voted for Harris, and also kept my mouth shut about her sprint to the right, like a good little Democrat, until after the election).

So you can take that accusation and fuck all the way off with it.

Considering Trump didn’t beat his 2020 numbers and Kamala came up like 10 million short of Biden’s, it is not clear at all that people switched sides as much as Trump pulling in first time voters and Kamala failing to motivate the base. That is to say, claims about lost voters aren’t backed by the evidence.

Yes, more Latinos voted for Trump than in 2020, but what percentage of that was from natural demographic shifts? I certainly haven’t seen that analysis, which is likely to skew the reported election day polls.

Reflect on why 10 million people chose not to show up that day. Instead of blaming them, blame the people who didn’t listen to them.

This summer, 30% of respondents said a gaza ceasefire would make them more likely to support the Dems. I’m pretty sure that 30% of 330 million people would have made up for the 10 or 15% of deeply religious people. Similar polls listed the economy and the wars as the most common issues for voters, but you claim- without evidence- that the motivation was abortion and gay rights, which poll nationally at 60+% approval.

Seriously, reflect on this so it doesn’t happen a 3rd time. There is no path to a democratic majority that ignores the real concerns of the working class, which the Dems have been woefully inadequate on according to countless polls over the last few years.

Am I aware that inflation was caused by Trump mishandling the pandemic and introducing tariffs and trade barriers? yes. Do I think Trump will be less racist? Of course not.

But I’m highly educated, privileged, and don’t have more pressing concerns like feeding a family. I will not blame voters for exercising their rights. You do you though.

I’m oh-so-sure you’ll channel that rage into something useful like community activism and union organizing, right?

Maybe I’m an idealist, but I bet working in and with these communities is a better approach than saying “you owe us because of the civil rights act”, while ignoring the fact that the Democratic party authored the crime bill that gave us the new Jim Crow.

What, exactly, have the Dems done to earn their vote?

Homey, Nancy Pelosi is worth $240 million too. Boeing and Raytheon love Biden and Harris as much as they love Dick Cheney – and they literally campaigned on that fact.
