Showing just how gullible American voters are.
How fucking stupid are people Jesus Christ.
Trump got 2 million less votes than he did in 2020. I think this is more of a case where left-leaning people failed to show up in numbers that led for Biden’s win in 2020.
Didn’t Democrats raise a record amount of money this election cycle? And they were supposed to use it to get out the vote?
There is money pouring into these campaigns, and it doesn’t make any difference at all. It’s all just a corporate welfare project for local TV media in swing states.
Money only gets you so far. The unfortunate truth is Harris didn’t run a campaign that incentivized people to vote. “Better than Trump” doesn’t bring people to polls.
I’m so sick of this; that wasn’t her platform. People constantly saying that was her platform stopped people from actually looking at her platform. I’m so sick of Dems that think they can just not vote because they don’t fall in love with their candidate. Politics is practical and the USA just shit the bed and it will have a real impact on the world. All of the Dems or left leaning people who didn’t vote are complicit.

Harris only had months of campaigning, while Trump had over a year. That alone put her at a massive disadvantage, since much of the vote is often decided (in people’s minds) well before the elections.
But the reality is, as long as 50%+ are OK being in a cult run by an incoherent madman, they’ll ignore the self-harm and keep voting the same way.
If the left not voting leads to Democrats losing, you’d think the party would try to win those votes. Instead they campaign like they don’t need them. And well, I guess… the campaign advisors actually don’t need them, they’re gonna get hired to run the next campaign regardless. And the fat-cat donors are gonna stay rich regardless. Both ready to steer the next election!
It’s always “the left” that’s causing candidates to win by not voting, it’s never candidates failing to give them something to vote for. Or advisors and donors pushing the candidates towards positions that will cost them the election. It’s always “the left”.
But hey, she got the Cheney’s vote! And look, my swing state family’s as well. But Democratic candidates and policies need to go big, or they’re gonna keep being sent home. People voted for Trump for the same reason they voted for Obama - they absolutely want change, and 25K for a mortgage down payment ain’t it.
Overall voter turnout dropped by something like 18 million. So yeah. The fact that Biden and the Democratic Party are obsessed with tooting their own horns while the lived experience of the entire fucking middle class has gotten measurably worse caused this. The election just underlines their failure to do fucking ANYTHING.
And yes, I know the GOP obstructs everything. But for fucks sake can we please try some malicious compliance at the very least? Or - and hear me out - just do shit anyways, make a difference, and fuck the rules. The GOP does that when they do fucked up things; refusing to do that in the interest of doing GOOD things that would actually HELP people is a self-defeating strategy. Stop bringing a deck of cards to a fucking gunfight. Jesus tapdancing christ.
Thanks COVID. You took our family members, forced us to have to “save the economy” causing inflation and now gave us a dictator. The gift that keeps on giving.
A universe where inflation caused by a monetary injection to “save the economy” that becomes the gripe most people have to vote for Trump is an alternate universe? The headline literally says people voted for trump over the economy. The economy sucks for us because of inflation, caused by our reaction to COVID and the effects it had on supply chains…
I don’t wanna hear another damn word out of young, American leftists. They moralized, demanded, complained, and stayed home. Now shut the fuck up and enjoy the destruction of Gaza. Morons
Leftists wouldn’t have voted for a capitalist regardless. She never had our vote to count. SHE opted to embrace war criminal Republicans, she opted to have a black man scold black men, she chose to have Clinton tell Muslim voters to suck it up and ignore that their family and friends were murdered while she helped steer the ship, she threw trans people under the bus.
Her loss is 100% hers to own. And because of her hubris trump won and got the popular vote.
If only Democrats kept that same passion holding their politicians accountable we wouldn’t be in this mess
Leftist with brains did vote for her, because the recognized that the only other option was worse. Now we get worse because hardliners are too stupid to cope with the lesser evil. Morons.
Lesser evil is fantasy, and when a person is surrounding themselves with war criminals, people that voted with trump 75% of the time, ignoring the pleas of its citizens while telling them they are not financially struggling, they are not the lesser evil, only evil.
Now do latinos and suburban women.
Singling out a single demographic for the target of your ire isn’t helpful.
Are you that stupid to think that 15 million non-voter were leftists?
Pew research allows that progressive are seven percent of the electorate and you actually believe that 15 million is all leftist?
Nah, there’s millions of bog standard Democrats that didn’t vote because ‘reasons’ here. Y’all put a quarter in your ass and played America.
