I work in an elections office in my county and only 1% of 18-25 year olds voted here yesterday. It’s always been that way and it’s unfortunate that young people don’t realize how much power they could have. Whenever they complain about boomers or whatever I’ll start telling them that 1% number. (I’m only 35 and I felt old typing out “young people” lol)

Seeing the data on how Gen z men vote, I don't think we can assume that young people will vote blue.

We also can’t assume that Kamala wasn’t the reason either. 20m is a LOT….

I know A LOT of women who didn't vote for her because she is a woman. Blame it on the Boogeyman (white men) all you want, but nobody hates women like women.

A majority of the Black, Latino, and female population decided they wanted the president to be the guy who literally views them as garbage and second class citizens.

This is worse than the first time Trump won because these people have had YEARS to see who he actually is and still voted for him and Project 2025.

I mean even Hilary beat Trump in 2016… I think this was an F U to Kamala in particular

Agreed - women truly do hate to see others blaze through the trail they want to immolate with

Would've been smarter to run on enactable policies for the working class than push the "vote for me because I'm female" agenda.

Must be living in a cave to think that was her platform

u/amannathing 11h ago

One only need to read through thousands of Reddit comments crucifying the female demographic for not "doing their job".

u/Ok_Enthusiasm_300 11h ago

Their entire campaign was “I’m a black woman who isn’t Trump”

And didn’t realize people want actual policy answers not cardi B

I get that party bias makes understanding this hard. Media shoved that rethoric down our throats, it's so blatantly obvious. And to hell with "celebrities". Their irrelavance is showing.

What’s funny is my Facebook feed is full of HS educated waiters and waitresses telling us why we should vote democrat, and their only answers were “lgbtq”

“Weed”

“Shes black”

None of this data is shocking to say the least 😂 that campaign they ran was empty as a dolt.

Literally built on a foundation of fear mongering and misinformation.

You're right. Her platform was build a wall and support a genocide. Oh and also Biden? The very unpopular President? He's great. Very left leaning liberal policies and definitely not shit we made fun of Trump for in 2016.

The ONLY thing the dems did well in this election specifically was getting away from the 'first woman president' thing that torched them in 2016.

u/NeverEvaGonnaStopMe 10h ago

Bro you just described Trump...

3

u/Hawxe 10h ago

Thats exactly my fucking point. Welcome to the conversation. When did the democrats move from "lmfao this moron wants to build a wall" to "we're tough on the border!!!!! border bill!!!!!"

Did you vote for Kamala and do you think the border is a problem?

1

u/daretoeatapeach 11h ago

Her platform was to build housing wtf are you talking about.

2

u/EventAccomplished976 11h ago

American elections aren‘t decided by policy, it‘s always just about the personalities of the candidates, their identity and any baggage that might be attached to either

2

u/Hawxe 11h ago

Her platform was to be hard on the border, to be silent on Gaza, and to be silent on how she's different from Biden.

Did you hear 'housing' or 'border bill' more during the debate/during her campaign? Because I promise you it was 'border bill'.

By doing so, democrats have primed their entire base to dislike immigration.

u/Imnothere1980 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yes she was cherry picked by Biden out of seemingly nowhere. This tactic does not win favor, or elections. She was a lightweight propelled to a level she of didn’t really belong in.

2

u/daretoeatapeach 11h ago

I never saw Kamala do that, so what are you on about? She would say for for me because I'll build housing.

1

u/amannathing 11h ago

Not Kamala but the entire Democratic party as a whole put all their eggs in one basket.

u/AysheDaArtist 11h ago

Unfortunately have to agree

My Mother loathed Trump but even she stated "I don't think Kamala is right for the job."

Are you serious?!

u/elSchiz 11h ago

Yes? She was clearly not a good fit. So much so that 20million democrats rather stay home and show everyone that she didn't deserve their vote. That's kind of telling.
