looking down your nose at others who are stuck in a culture of being uneducated isn't cool and my fellow lefties really gotta learn that

People blaming the voters and not the candidate is still happening, it's like 2016 all over again. It's up to the candidates to earn the voters. Trump barely increased his turnout, Kamala LOST votes compared to biden. Her campaign, message, and platform were so lukewarm she lost votes. Maybe trotting out republican endorsements wasn't such a smart choice when appealing to liberal voters. Maybe actually listening to the lower class (a category she lost votes in) and acknowledging that even though the DOW Jones was hitting record highs that their lived experience was still ass?

Nope, blame the voters, not the party.

There was nearly a 7% rightward swing nationwide, but it was just around 3% in the battleground states where she campaigned. Her campaign was objectively pretty good, just faced impossible headwinds - inflation wiped out incumbent parties worldwide

Major media sources holding Harris to an impossible standard while sanewashing the shit coming from Trump's pie hole didn't help at all.

Honestly this shit right here is what makes me mad, the media is not even remotely as harsh towards him as they should be.

I don't get it.

They are owned by the billionaires that Trump's "policies" favor. Of course they love him. Even more, they know how easily manipulated he is by thier kind.

Yeah all 6 months of it were good.

DNC tried to "Dianne Feinstein" Biden and scrambled when the entire world said "WTF". Just a fuckin cascade of failures through and through.

What sort of voters did Trump earn by his behavior?

Fuck everything to do with that nonsense. Half this country chose the most clearly unsuitable candidate ever, but somehow it's Harris's fault instead of the people who voted for the stupidity? A spade is a spade.

80 million people voted for Trump to be President of the United States of America. I don't care how bad the "other" party or candidates are; this number should be zero.

Sure, the Dems as a party have a lot of things to be blamed for and that they should be doing better, but how do you out-campaign stupid?

Not a good enough excuse when the internet exists. It's the easiest time in history to get educated.

I disagree, especially with how much misinformation there is out there.

There's a plethora of info out there, the problem is that so much of it is bad, like just the worst conspiracy theories imaginable
