Absolutely insane this measure was rejected

That is a terrible idea that shows you should not pass said test if one were to exist.

They’re both trump supporters, so don’t feel, the brain damage was a pre existing condition

I apologize, but I don’t believe you are open minded. I mostly replied so that a third party would not see such blame as you were making an unopposed statement and believe that is a representative perspective.

If you’re saying she didn’t give people anything to be excited about, and she focused ‘Trump is bad’ then you imho did not follow the election, you followed social media and click bait.

Her platform was there, it was a great direction for this country to make us stronger, happier and represent the better aspects of American voters. I was very excited for it.

And personally, I didn’t like her much at first, nor would I say she is ideal. But there are 3 choices: Harris, Trump, everything is fine. I was definitely excited to pick Harris with those being the only three options.

Have they stopped teaching politics in school or something?

I understand where you’re coming from but I think there is an atmosphere tinging the conversation (and there are a lot of threads happening so maybe I’m the one doing that, not trying to be perfect here)

I’m not bitching about voters. I’m saying people are blaming Democrats, or Harris, or whoever they want to, but one side showed up with more people. I see you are continuing that as well by saying she ignored her own base.

More people showed up for what Trump was selling. Harris was certainly not ignoring her base in favor of the Cheneys but I think you mean they relatively to your expectations (?).

If she were leaning more right, then I guess that was the correct choice because that’s who showed up to vote.

Saying she ran an awful campaign is a judgement, one neither of us qualified to make legitimately (correct me if I’m wrong and you have some relevant professional experience)

The voters spoke and said they did not see enough of a difference between Harris and Trump to vote for Harris, and the ones that saw a difference voted for Trump.

Harris was out there making her platform and politics known, performing at debates.

This is voting for your own best interests as a part of a country.

What kind of fool believes that is supposed to require outreach? Would you rather visit an inept doctor because they make you feel more like a big boy by courting your feelings?

If voters must have outreach to not show up, that means they see no difference in their own life between the candidates.

The electorate picked the racist rapist trump, that’s what represents America.

To say that a political party should stray further from what the majority of Americans that stepped up to vote for is what is out of touch.

Ah yes, a perfect example of what OP was talking about. Good work finding it so we can point and laugh at the people that keep looking for someone to blame for their own choices.

That is not in agreement with exit polling, what is your source?

It wasn’t the one issue, it was just the one that stuck with people who needed an excuse to not show up and vote for a woman.

I would place the most blame on Regan for gutting social infrastructure surrounding mental health and safety

In order for politics to align towards your values you have to vote for the candidate closest to them, which forces the losing parties to get closer or die, which pushes the winning party to move towards you.

If you throw away or don’t vote none of that happens because you have no impact.

I’m with you and all, but shouldn’t we wait before considering it a victory?

Plenty of racists and sexists out there who won’t say a word about Harris publicly but will vote for Trump the second they enter the booth no matter what.

Sounds like a wild judgement of another person who you know nothing about.

Yeah but they get away with it because their audience only cares/is fed the stuff they agree with

Trump said the government should be allowed to take people’s guns without due process (just breaking two constitutional amendments, NBD) and Republicans just had to wait a couple days and their voters forgot about it

So many dancing Spidermans

I’m still waiting to see civilization start…
