I also blame the administration for being toothless at fighting the party doing everything they could to disenfranchise as many voters as possible after 2020. That probably had an impact. Whole swath of absentee votes for voters out of the country were challenged in battleground states where they’d have to show up in person to fix it lol.
Literally what the chapter I linked talked about. It predicted this 50 years ago.
yeah i totally feel that vibe sometimes in some spaces i barely go to
clarify “left politicians”?
left in the american sense of not-republican or left in the socialist sense?
Yeah its like it repeated the same thing she says word for word hahah. She is dissatisfied with US imperialism mostly and feels like a lot of liberals uphold it and are racist and theyre just in denial that theyre doing it
It seems like Dems, generally
Bingo.
American sense
Literally resting on their laurels for the non-white voters for decades has consequences. The issue is they could never do anything different because they are liberals and doing so would require systemic change which is largely unthinkable.
Trump won in 2016 by saying institutions are broken and that he’ll fix them, defeating the moderate candidate insisting institutions were fine.
He lost in 2020 when things were unbelievably bad in the nation and voting was as easy as ever when his opponent was promising change and a much more progressive campaign than usual for an establishment Dem.
Trump won in 2024 by saying institutions are broken and promising change after the Dems had 4 years to do anything other than say institutions are fine, doing very little of what they promised, gaslighting people about COVID, insisting the economy was fine, etc. etc. Same shit, different cycle.
good news: as per the median voter theorem, the person who will win the election is the one who best courts the median voter
bad news: the median voter didn’t even know one of the candidates was running
Instead of going to the mat to fight bigoted and xenophobic rhetoric, they were like “yeah immigration is a problem” and “yeah we’re not really gonna get behind trans people” and “yeah we’re gonna keep supporting Israel unconditionally”. They like bet it all on white women and lost lol
willing to bet a nontrivial number of people wrote in joe biden
If Kamala won there’s a really good toki pona pun you can do…
cannot stress enough this is a real quote. what the fuck
Call me conspiracy theorist, but whoever was behind the pickings of Democratic party should have represented themselves, overall I am kinda tired of the secret society gets greedy at the expense of others sharing the same land, but not having the same interests as them
okay it’s a troll account but i can dream
deep down i knew the moment that biden announced he was running for reelection it was over. but kamala made me hope dammit
What do you mean, you hope??
