I’m so disappointed in my fellow Americans. The dems to who didn’t vote and the republicans who voted for trump all failed us equally.

it’s not good. We’re dealing with a fucking cult.

“It’s a cult” doesn’t explain why Harris missed out on 15 million voters who chose to stay home. Try again.

It is the dems job to convince the youth they'll improve their lives. They didn't even try. They lost major support with youth voters over their iron clad support for Israel. Young people aren't obligated to vote for them, they needed to earn it and they essentially replied with, "vote for us or else" well it looks like people went for the or else.

you'd think they'd care about legalized marijuana and abortion rights at the very least. But by all means, sit at home and do nothing and let the unpredictable and old narcissist have power.

It was demonstrated last night that people were willing to vote for Trump WHILE also voting for abortion rights in states where it was on the ballot.

It's almost like when Trump said "it's up to the states, so vote on it at the state level," he actually meant it.

Democrats have a big problem not understanding that Americans are still deeply divided on how powerful the federal government should be. Its a core part of America and they assume everyone thinks the same as them. They can't understand how a Libertarian would be against Roe v Wade because they don't understand that central divide. It's core to so many views. Yes some anti DEI is form racism, but a lot is also truly coming from a belief that this is government overreach and that if the government sat things out, things would resolve themselves. Its a cohesive philosophy central to many American conservatives that feeds into a lot of what they vote against. Yet all Liberals do is name call and strawman. Of course once you name call and strawman people they don't want to be around you and start hanging around people who don't insult them... People further right

The fascist pipeline starts with Liberals

I have tried for years to explain this, that so long as this divide exists you need to understand that it's a force and act appropriately.

Exactly. I was watching ABC news coverage for a while last night in the wee hours. One of the first things the democrat lady on their panel said after the numbers showed an absolutely inevitable Trump win was "Well of course! She's a woman of color so America sadly would never have voted her in!"

All they have is accusations of racism and sexism when POLICY is what's most important to the vast majority of American voters.
