Racism less important, immigration more important… that’s interesting…
Ironically Republican presidents are the worst for the economy, https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/10/the-u-s-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidents
Or Nuclear arsenel. The reason is that it wasn’t mentioned at the debates.
Honestly, I hope Trump and his republican dumb fucks go through with their tariff plan to “save” the much improved economy. Americans deserve it.
I wanted Bernie some years ago but also believe that we deserve this.
Americans deserve everything that is about to happen.
Don’t disagree and I honestly hope all of their promises come true this time, abortion restrictions at the federal level, the gutting of government, putting Herschel Walker as the head of the DoD, all of it.
Americans will never learn unless they suffer.
As a german i can tell you that the learning effect doesn’t last forever either
Obviously. It didn’t even last 4 years for us…
As an American, you’re right. I guess Trump won’t see consequences, but maybe the country will. And MAYBE voters / non voters will learn something.
I guess Trump won’t see consequences,
Probably not given his age, diet, and general level of fitness.
And even if he does live that long, I doubt he will remember it given his clearly declining mental health.
The problem is the consequences are not immediate. This is like making a child sit in their room because they scribbled on the wall in crayon last week. They don’t have the capacity to make that connection.
If renewed inflation takes another four years to really build up, guess whose fault that becomes? If the climate gets worse over years, decades, generations, no blame here. If Russia invades the Baltic states after consolidating Ukraine, it couldn’t be due to appeasement here. If they succeed in replacing the merit-based civil service with partisan hacks whose only skill is “loyalty”, clearly it’s the swamp that needs to be drained.
TIL that trump is Leto Atreides II
Trump isn’t even 10% as competent as Leto Altreides II.
I feel kinda sad for them.
You should. Our country was just flushed down the drain by 37% of the voters who are all a bunch of dumbfuck morons.
Feel bad for the rest of the world who still rely on the unreliable American voters.
Eh. Russia doesn’t rely on American voters. We know Putin will draw 80% votes with 80% turnover.
racism should be represented across the board
When the most important is something that isn’t even real…gj America. Fools.
Immigration isn’t real?
If I have to spell it out for the slow folks “immigration”=“border crisis”.
Happy to help!
Because too many people are selfish and think that things are bad so might as well make them worse.
You don’t win an election just with vibes.
Kamala didn’t bring as much substance as what the left electorate was expecting from her, and couldn’t differentiate herself from Biden and the current term she is serving under. The whole democratic party went under because all they promise is vibes compared the current economical struggles people are facing.
I was onboard with her but I honestly felt icky every time the Biden administration released a new statement about how good the economy is. How out of touch do you have to be to think the economy is good? Republicans have no intention of fixing that but at least they’re smart enough to see that people feel crushed in this economy and pander to it. And apparently that was a much bigger issue than abortion, which shocked me at first but as it settles I see that my fear as a woman pales in comparison to America’s fear of a woman and America’s struggling financial situation.
How out of touch do you have to be to think the economy is good?
Liberals measure the health of the economy by Gross Domestic Product (which has been going up), and Consumer Price Index (which includes big-screen TVs). You’d have to dismantle everything they paid to learn in college econ.
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
The truth is the dems are a right wing party now, they’ve been dragged there by the rethugs… and people Want to vote for an Actual left wing party, but there literally isnt one in the US.
The dems were never left wing in international standards. otherwise you would already have had universal health care.
The poison of the “big tent”. Move a little over to let people in enough and you are no longer representing anyone in a desperate attempt to represent everyone.
between this and the enshittification of big tech and gaming, it feels like 2024 has been one big argument in support of gatekeeping.
Or you know, not gatekeeping but actually taking a position as a political party (instead of trying to be some grey nothing). Oh and having more then two parties would be nice.
I don’t think people want to vote for a party. People want to vote for someone who’s making sense for them, and looks like for majority it was Trump this time.
An “actual left wing party” must not only have ideology, but a sound plan on how to improve people’s lives and an ability to communicate this plan to people, loud and clear. Actually, as populists are now trusted everywhere in the world, the plan is less important than communication
trumps ‘road to prosperity’ is tariffs… which will lead to a depression, maybe a global one. Thats a helluva plan there
I didn’t read that as OP saying they believed that will work, I read it as saying the majority of Americans (or at least the majority of Americans who bothered voting) believed that.
I guess this just goes to show what everyone is saying.
The left is shooting themselves in the foot. People care about immigration and the left won’t solve it. So they lose power, that’s democracy in action.
If the left want wants they need to listen to the concerns of the people.

Lack of cultural integration, homophobia, sexism, racism, religion, lack of local training and development, lack of capital investment, high housing costs, poor housing quality, wage suppression, increasing density of the country, crime, making places less desirable and more crime ridden.
But no one ever wants to talk about anything that isn’t short term averages.
I haven’t got an issue with immigration as a concept or necessarily as an average.
But there is a reason no one complains about first, second, third generation Australians coming to their country not learning the language, not integrating, committing crimes and no treating women right. A lot of people on the left live in outright denial about immigration.
Sure keep the upper class happy by keeping wages down and house prices high. Only costs you money, safety and community.
People care about their economic well-being (which “the immigrants” are just scapegoats for) and the liberals abjectly refuse to do anything about that.
But that still doesn’t excuse anybody flushing the rule of law down the toilet.
Not that you’re wrong with your conclusion, but you picked a bad issue to go on. Democrats won’t solve immigration because there’s nothing to solve. Immigrants are not committing crimes at a higher rate than the rest of the population, and while America gets a lot of migrants, we also have a collapsing birthrate and need a growing populace for infinite shareholder growth.
The problem is that Republicans keep making up lies about immigration, even nonsensical lies like “they’re eating the dogs,” and the Democrats do nothing to dispel these lies. They don’t sit down with the charts that verifiably disprove the Republican bullshit. Instead, they pick it up, and promise they’ll be tougher on immigration next time, giving legitimacy to the lies.
Healthcare: 8%
That explains why americans in America are provided with less(no at all) healthcare than american tourisis in fucking Russia.
This is what happens if any foreigner for example breaks bone:
- Emergency, including emergency specialized, medical care is provided to foreign citizens in case of sickness, accident, trauma, poisining and other cases requireing emergency treatment. Such medical treatment provided by state and municipal healthcare organizations is free of charge.
Specifically, state and municipal? Is there some other form of healthcare organization that can provide medical treatment?
Private clinics exist
It’s always about the economy. Every election period.
The economy is actually great. Most people just don’t have the brains to understand why when they feel like it isn’t. Sentiment is king.
This is the kind of out of touch thinking that is why Harris lost.
It literally doesn’t matter how great the economy is if people are struggling, and they are.
No one gives a shit about how much the GDP grew, they can about the price of eggs and milk.
Harris repeated biden saying the economy is great and ignored that there are people struggling and focusing in on messaging to help them.
I know her policies might have helped the average American, but no one reads policies anymore, unfortunately.
I’m a Harris voter.
Looks a lot like lack of awareness to me. The price of pretty much everything has at least stabilized or is down from the peak. Individuals are better off today than recently.
However prices are shockingly high compared to four years ago. Many are worse off than four years ago. The economy is trending much better at the individual level but people can’t get past the four years of buildup to realize that it has turned around
If you look at the average salary, it has kept up or exceeded inflation, but it has taken some time to catch up. But again, it’s the sentiment. If people feel pooper, they are poorer, even if they are not actually poorer.
The economy is stable and we’re at a new normal. People are hoping to take things back to how they were before even though that’s not how economies work.
What? Who is the economy great for? Many Americans are one missed paycheck from bankruptcy.
Which is exactly my point. Many Americans don’t feel like the economy is better in their own lives. But, overall, from a macroeconomic perspective, the economy is doing great.
Who gives a fuck about the macroeconomic perspective
The economy, to any person with a pulse, means “can I afford to live”. If the dictionary definition of an economy is different, then speak the language of the people.
Then you have to be willing to do economics like in Europe and redistribute (the GDP) wealth to basically make everyone middle-class. But Americans are also unwilling to do that. That’s “socialism” or “communism” or whatever label conservatives like to add to it. The US may have a somewhat higher GDP than many European countries, but most Europeans feel much more financially secure than most Americans.
It’s simple, and history has borne this out many many times.
In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics if you’re the candidate of change. There’s a reason why Harris spent two months repeating memes instead of defending Biden’s policies, because it’s impossible to defend the fact that you had four years to rule and there are more people working 2-3 jobs just to survive.
They knew they needed to appeal to workers. Instead, they spent most of the campaign repeating this meaningless platitude about joy to people who are being worked to death.
Also, there were plenty of people who were never going to vote for a woman, no matter what.
Then maybe don’t force a woman onto the ballot in “the most important election of our lifetime”. I’m all for progress, but you don’t win elections by forcing ideals upon people who won’t have them, and if this was truly the most important election of our lifetime, then the Democrats should have fielded their most appealing candidate.

Don’t forget immigrants who hate immigrants.
I’m sure that’s true too, but that’s not the reason she lost.
Democrats haven’t been ceding male voters to Republicans for 16 years because they hate women. It’s because, in the liberal and activist communities, it’s become customary and accepted to treat men like shit.
It’s because, in the liberal and activist communities, it’s become customary and accepted to treat men like shit.
this is just as dumb as the opposite “they didn’t vote for Kamala because she’s a woman”
people don’t like Kamala because she’s an extension of Joe Biden and Biden has been a failure. that’s why she lost. she offered status quo when people want change. the DNC is incapable of changing quick enough to avoid fascism
Democrats will continue to stack losses if that’s the narrative that they go with
$20 says that or race is the narrative they go with.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’d never take that bet, they already started today You can find them in threads across the fediverse.
Oh yeah, it’s a sucker’s bet, I was just hoping to find a sucker who would take it
If that’s why Kamala lost, then explain why Tammy Baldwin is winning Wisconsin and Elissa Slotkin is winning in Michigan.
Plenty of people will also never vote for a black man, but that worked spectacularly for the Democrats the first time.
In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics
That’s no excuse for electing someone whose stated policies and politics will fuck the economy even further and faster.
Sure it is, if you don’t understand economics, which few Merkins do. The evidence is right in front of us.
Thank you, Knee Tits.

It’s just straight percent of voters I think. Then they’re sorted left to right based on how important they were in 2020.
Site your source. Downvoted. Don’t post without a link in the future
