Trump wins a second term as Democrats search for answers
Summary
This victory makes Trump the first U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland and the first with a criminal conviction to hold office.
Democrats were shocked by the loss, particularly as exit polls revealed significant shifts among key demographics: Latino men favored Trump by 10 points, and more voters identified as independents or unaffiliated.
The economy was the top priority for Trump supporters, while Harris voters emphasized democracy and abortion rights.
The election also showed increased dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, as 72% of voters expressed anger or frustration.
The answer was you spent the last 3 months fucking your chances by chasing republican votes instead of rallying your own base. Its not rocket science. That shit was not inspiring.
Not only that, it was clear Trump was gaining voters because he said, "yeah, shit's fucked, I'll change it" and the Dems kept insisting "it's really not that bad". To people who have it hard, one party telling you that you're just wrong and nothing will change, and the other saying they'll change things for the better is a pretty obvious choice. Even if they're lying about making it better, it's already bad, and your other option is the same bad, why not give it a try?
Seriously, it was easy to see this election was going to whoever was promising extreme changes. The Democrats once again lost an easy victory because... Well I'm gonna be real Idfk. How the fuck you not have this in the bag?
"I'll make homes affordable again by banning investment housing and corporate ownership"
"I'll end the wars in Israel, and I'll help Ukraine knock our oldest enemy for the cheap, saving American lives."
"And I'll fucking invigorate the middle class by tying minimum wage to inflation, guaranteeing you won't fall behind."
Its that easy. Say that shit, and when asked what you'd do differently than your predecessor, always say "a lot". It gives you an opportunity to attack easy problems. I've lost all of my mind at this. I have no idea how the Democrats do this shit every fucking time.
Exactly this. Meanwhile food prices are high, homes and rents are unaffordable, and healthcare sucks, and tuition is through the roof. Biden sending billions to fund a genocide while all of this shit was happening at home was the demotivation people needed to stay home.
Did you choose not to vote Harris? Because I still voted for Harris
I gritted my teeth and voted for her but as soon as she started touting the Rubes endorsing her I knew it was over. How fucking hard can it be to just be progressive? Its that fucking simple.
...in Canada?
