People forget that nationwide elections are ordinarily determined by infrequent voters to begin with.

It wasn't high-propensity voters voting for trump, third party, or abstaining, it was ordinary non-political americans who didn't see a point in voting for a status-quo center-right candidate.

People have been screaming at democrats since at least 2008 that they need more progressive, more radical policies, and they've repeatedly avoided addressing those concerns. Trump ran in 2016 as a moderate. He came out on the left of fucking hillary clinton on the war in Iraq and interventionism. She lost to trump because he maneuvered to the left of her, and democrats still have not fucking learned.

Democrats need to let go of their moderate progenitors and re-build their base from the bottom left. They're leaving millions of voters on the table because they keep hamstringing themselves on a bygone era of popular neoliberalism, and there's nobody left to blame now but the party itself.

Democrats are now hallucinating Harris supporting a ceasefire in Gaza

Harris Doesn’t Support Arms Embargo on Israel, a Top Adviser Says

"vote for a ceasefire" is the ceasefire in the room with us now? Because I'm not surprised people DIDNT vote for someone who was the fucking president but refused to pressure to end a war because it could be used as leverage in an election campaign.

Straight up Reddit tier cope from liberals this last week. If you wanted to win don't turn away 15 million people from your base to pander to a bunch of MAGA voters who were always picking trump regardless. Absolute fucking morons.

Harris wasn't pro ceasfire in Gaza, please stop gaslighting people.

Too complicated for 90% of voters to comprehend.

They saw: Democrat president made my groceries more expensive

They heard: Democrat replacement will do things around the same as they used to be. Republican guy is going to do things VERY differently.

And the herd mentality took over past that point

This is why abandoning the "grocery store" strategy for "trump said naughty words" was a huge mistake.

Their platform was weak.

They ran an old man with brain damage for most of the campaign.

His replacement spent two months of campaign time telling poverty wage workers to be joyful and didn't even put a platform on their website until a few weeks before the election. Watching that felt very tone deaf and condescending.

The other meme they repeated was how weird Trump and Vance are, as if they didn't already objectively know the voters don't care about that.

They didn't run a good campaign.

Weak platform my ass. Half of the US population is simply too brainwashed to even comprehend what Kamala offered them.

We gotta look Canadian when we go out of the country now.
