I hate to break it to you but she and Bernie were re-elected. If anything, they and the left wing of the Democrats have been vindicated.

You'll hear stuff like they should've let a Palestinian speak at the DNC and that they should've ran harder left instead of palling around with the Cheneys.

Exit interviews already are saying that people felt Harris was too progressive so they won't be vindicated at all. It will probably be the opposite but leftists won't see that cause they never think their policies are the issue.

They were re-elected in their districts. The shit they are selling isn't gong to fly nationwide.

Went to bed last night around 900pm here in Denver, CO.

Both of them were in the 200 range.

I got up around 200am to pee and Trump had won Ohio and Pennsylvania to win the 270.

Not shocked and not surprised.

The Electoral Map looks pretty much exactly like every Electoral Map since 2000. The only difference is the swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and N. Carolina.

With all the other states, they basically won what was expected from each candidate.

Trump won the popular, but less votes he got in 2020. Harris got less popular votes than Trump and got no where close to Biden’s 80 million votes in 2020. Democrats did not come out to support Harris. I doubt voter suppression laws had anything to do with it.

The Democratic Party will do a lot of finger pointing, but in the end the loss is primarily on the Democratic Party as a whole. They had plenty of opportunities to shut Trump down since he left office and did absolutely nothing cuz they didn’t want to offend the Republicans and make them angry, like they weren’t already angry.

If future elections take place, Right now the Democratic Party has no one with the drive to take on Trump/GOP. The closest person is Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), but it looks like his opportunity window is closed shut. No way he alone can novitiate Democrats to come out in 2028. The Democratic Party is gonna have to do a full reboot to get voters out in the future. They can’t continue what they have been doing for the past 30+ years.

Now we have to see if Biden is gonna grow some balls and go full Dictator with the new powers SCOTUS put on the Presidency and shut down Trump…it’s pretty obvious that ain’t gonna happen.

Trump/GOP have Project 2025 to kick into full gear next year. Trump doesn’t need Congress with the powers granted to him by SCOTUS. And we know Schumer/Jeffries ain’t gonna do shit to stop him, even if they try.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how shit plays out, lots of folks are gonna get a big surprise as the years go by.

You gonna hear from a lot of folks starting next year say….”I Didn’t Think He Was Gonna Do All That Shit, I Thought He Was Joking…”

We will wait and see.
Well said.

Stop tagging me in your bullshit. But if you want to discuss anything, produce posts of me cheerleading funds going to Israel or delete your accounts.

Your cheerleading was constant, whether you meant it to be what it was or not. I'm certainly not digging through your posts to litigate it.

Gotta admit the "appeal to Republicans" strategy was a failure. I thought maybe they knew what they were doing but clearly not. You weren't a fool for believing it but we have to acknowledge what happened and learn from it.

I think I'll leave this here for everybody who believe the Democrats lost the election because they were too strong on the trans issue. :lol2:

It takes 30 seconds to search. Either show the posts or delete your accounts.

Exactly. I said it on this thread yesterday, everybody is looking for something to blame except what it obviously is.
Fucking around and blaming everyone lol. Went from black men to Latinos and all this other shit. Coons, racists, white men and white women is not voting for a black woman to run this country. White women wouldn’t even vote for a white woman to be president lol.
