Jebus, stop trying to find a single group to blame, it’s the entire god damn American public that’s at fault.

White, Latino, Blacks, Asians, men, women, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, atheists, Republicans, Democrats, progressives, everyone in America knew who Trump and Republicans are and screwed the pooch and the entirety of America.

    Who was a better candidate this year? You have to choose one. If you say Kamala, then everything you just said dosent matter.

    Harris ran on far better policies than trump (who is a felon btw).

    Most people know that, but still voted for him over culture war bullshit. Stop this nonsense

      No. Humans aren’t deterministic machines that perfectly weigh available information and rationally decide on the best course of action. It’s not enough to have better policies, you also have to appeal to your voters emotionally.

      Harris didn’t do this, she instead decided to effectively spit into her voters faces by moving right on several issues while not giving hope that current issues will be resolved. People are hurting financially - one candidate said “I’ll fix it”, while the other said “there is no issue, nothing will change”.

      It doesn’t matter that her policies were better. She could have campaigned differently and gotten far more votes. It’s as much her fault as it is the voters.
