Keep up, we annexing Syria these days, daddy needs a new buffer zone for his buffer zone. Can barely see the shit we’re seizing on this tiny map. You need this one.

“She can’t even string a sentence together”, said after her town hall late in the campaign.

It’s like they never fucking listened to a single Trump rally.

I think there’s plenty of people to be mad at, more than enough blame to go around.

Biden could have chosen to be the transitionary president he “signaled” that he’d be by stepping out of the race 6-12 months earlier, and allowing for a full primary season for democrats to rally around a candidate and a platform.

The Harris campaign could have rejected the failed 2016 strategy of courting moderate republican at the expense of blue collar democrats, rather than champion the Cheney family endorsement, in spite internal protests.

I’m not willing to scapegoat just one person for this loss, this was the whole damn team. The DNC needs to realize that people vote when they’re excited to vote. That whether they’re door knocking or just talking to their friends, the base is going to get those low propensity voters out if they’re bragging about some great thing democrats will do. And it’s a lot easier when that thing is healthcare or amnesty (Obama), rather than small business tax cuts and a republican bill on the border.

The Harris campaign dropped that after the first month, even though it seemed to be the only thing that got under Trump and Vance’s skin.

They got Geoff Garin, former Clinton campaign co-chief strategist, who told them to drop “We’re not going back” - not forward looking enough (they didn’t) and drop “weird” - too negative (they did).

try to court “moderate republicans”, which we very obviously just learned don’t actually exist.

Exactly. For all their effort, all the campaigning with Liz Cheney, all the promises of Republicans in the cabinet, and all the war hawk endorsements, Harris lost votes with Republicans compared to Biden.

Republicans don’t vote Democrat, stop running to the right to appease them. Democrats don’t want to hear that shit either and you need them to show up to win, so how about courting their vote instead.

I don’t disagree, but you’ll have to take that up with the Pew Research Center. Unfortunately this is kinda their area of expertise, haha

I want a country where everyone pays less for healthcare. If it can be done for seniors, why not everyone else?

I want a country where everyone’s private medical decisions remain between them and their doctor, without being cleared by your local, state, or federal representative or by a judge.

I want a country where everyone who works, pays taxes, and does not commit violent crime or property theft can stay and keep working without having to look over their shoulder.

I want a country where if you work full time, you can afford your rent/mortgage, put food on the table, start a family, and still be able to retire.

There’s a vision. Apparently all of these things have become radically progressive leftist positions and are attacked as such by the media and conservatives alike.

• Pennsylvania - 98.3% Reporting
• Michigan - 98.7% Reporting
• Wisconsin - 99% Reporting

These states have been called for Trump. The remaining outstanding vote will not impact this result. The remaining vote is not going to come in all for Jill Stein or other third party candidates. The point that protest votes for third party candidates did not rob Harris of an electoral college victory will stand once 100% of the vote is in.

folks that voted third party because “my state will be blue”

Admittedly not all the votes are in, but…

• Pennsylvania - Trump up by 130k votes, Jill Stein got 33k votes
• Michigan - Trump up by 84k votes, Jill Stein got 45k votes
• Wisconsin - Trump up by 28k votes, Jill Stein got 12k votes

Are all Jill Stein votes from protest voters? Nah, there are diehard Green supporters out there.

Are there other 3rd party candidates? Of course, but how many RFK (more votes than Stein in WI) voters could she have converted? Almost none.

This was her blue wall road to victory, show me the electoral path to victory ruined by third party voters who would have otherwise voted Democrat.

This election was lost by people not showing up to vote. Trump is sitting at almost 72M votes right now compared to 74M in 2020. Harris is only at 67M now, compared to Biden’s 81M in 2020. While there are still votes to count, there aren’t 15M votes left to count.

Whether it was lack of interest, protest, or whatever reason, 10% of voters stayed home this year.

As a high propensity voter, and former young person, I too remember being offended by this insinuation. However, the data on the 18-29 voting block shows generally lower turnout and has remained largely unchanged within my lifetime.

along with the strong campaign run by Harris

No, 2008 Obama ran a strong campaign. Inspiring voters with a message of hope and change is strong campaigning.

Going on the View and saying you would do nothing differently than Biden, when Biden was so unelectable he had to be replaced immediately before the convention and when 60% of the country thinks things are on the wrong track, is not strong campaigning.

She never differentiated herself from Biden, she ran immediately to the middle, and she campaigned with unpopular Republicans. She chose to represent the status quo and voters rejected it.

In an American election? Nah, most of those people won’t vote, cause that’s Vancouver.

I agree with the comic, just a kinda funny election year to post it.

Biden ran virtually unopposed in the primaries this year, despite his low approval numbers. And while you’d have to go back to the 19th century to find an incumbent denied the nomination, there have been serious challengers like Ted Kennedy to Jimmy Carter in more recent history. Seems the problem is also with lack of serious challengers, as well as lack of participation in the process from those looking for more significant change.

Pretty sure this post is a Nintendo Switch ad.

HBO needs to make an old testament series. I need a GoT budget thrown at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, after at least half an hour of truely understanding their wickedness.

And thus, Nestle was born.

Yep, almost the exact same spread in the national polls, and still lost. Absolutely no comfort for me with numbers where they are.

National polling has Kamala up by +6 at best. Seems like 44%+ of Americans those polled seem comfortable and supportive of Trump. The fact it is that close at a national level, with all Haitians eating cats rhetoric, still seems insane to an outsider.

Edit: Updated to appease those saying 44%+ of those polled who say they support Trump is not an accurate reflection of Americans at-large. For reference, Trump won 46.1% of the popular vote in 2016 and 46.8% of the popular vote in 2020.

Forgot the part where management also says use it or lose it, your vacation no longer rolls over, and your vacation bank now has an expiry date. But thanks again for all your hard work.

Just leave that to your friendly local warlord to settle.
