I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think "food didnt get cheaper" and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.

It's funny how they consider they had massive impact until there are consequences to their actions. Then, it wasn't much.

I don't think anyone sincerely believed that protest voters were ever going to have a significant impact. I think all of the noise you heard was astroturf designed to knock Harris from both sides of the Israel political position.

At most it cost her Michigan. There were deeper issues with the campaign.

It's funny how they were too insignificant to listen to but aren't too insignificant to blame.

The jump in searches for "who is running for president" the day of the election tells you all you need to know about the average American voter.

My heart sank when I read about this. How?! Were these people in a coma for the last few months?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Or maybe Democrats were that bad at running a campaign.

Thanks BIDEN (you know, the current POTUS).

[-] FarFarAway@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Yet, after the election.

But, yes, it happened under Biden's presidency, Biden should get the credit.

While ignoring that for most people, their purchasing power also went up.

They want to pay pre-pandemic prices for food while making post-pandemic paychecks, and there's no way that's going to happen without guillotines. So instead they voted in the wealthy assholes who directly caused COVID and indirectly caused inflation/greedflation because surely those people won't do that again, right?
