We lost because we couldn't convince enough potential voters to vote. Less than 1/3rd of the voters voted for Trump. Less than 1/3rd voted for Harris. The biggest voting block didn't vote at all, and the Democratic leadership is to blame for this massive fuck up!
Everyone knew the republicans and the corrupt republican candidate were constant liars. So I would just say felon trump won because his supporters did not have a reasoning brain, unlike democrats.
Here is EXACTLY how Trump won. People did not want to vote for a HIGHLY QUALIFIED BLACK WOMAN, so they voted for a corrupt FELON, RACIST, RAPIST, DRAFT DODGING INSURECTIONIST MOB BOSS. SHAME!!! https://youtu.be/8ClrhEhn_z0?si=bIZuIlY4eceTeVl6
It's important for the fuckers, gobshites, shysters and scammers to denigrate expertise and their "charisma" makes dumb people believe them.
e.g. Boris fucking Johnson, Michael fucking Gove and Nigel fucking Farage.
This also misses the fact there were a lot of shenanigans going on wrt voter suppression and further related issues I can't publish bc rabid retaliation by the current admin is evident and will harm people around me.
Speech suppression is real. If it were just me braving risk of harm, I'd do it.
I choose the potential longevity of people around me over the likelihood of their almost assured short term harm; particularly because these issues/details were raised in 2017/2018 (including by me) and *ignored* by everyone who could affect change.
They also won because Biden lied to voters in 2020 by saying he would be a one term President, then "changed his mind". He spiraled down w/ dementia.. the DNC capitulated by making the convention irrelevant, and the rest is history.
Naw, we lost cause we had deeply unpopular candidates. We lost because dems have been taking corporate bribes for decades and so no longer represent their constituents.
We lost because people were desperate for change, and trump was a grenade they could throw at the system.
This video presents data on the discrepancies in the 2024 election data that’s similar to what has appeared in Russian-backed elections outside of the U.S.
There probably was some cheating. But we can't ignore the fact that independent polling organizations came to pretty much the same conclusion as the general election. We have to accept that a lot of people affirmatively voted for the disgusting criminal.
They tried in other places too, but thankfully they failed in every other country - including Romania. The US is gone now, within a year we'll be refugees in other countries.
I hope not, but the fact that they seem to function with immunity, it means that the descent gains momentum. Even if the judiciary rules against the regime, federal law enforcement fully belongs to the regime. Thus far, nothing will stop it.
A New Phase of Trump Neofascism
No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds. Rapacious, racist, nativist, vindictive, corrupt.

Unfortunately, that is the truth! The war in Gaza, President Biden’s decision to drop out, the Vice President’s last minute campaign, obfuscated the real issues during the 2024 elections! Few took seriously project 2025 and the real meaning of this current president’s intentions. We are screwed.
I’m curious why no one is calling out the fact that every single day before and during election day the story was record turnout over and over and then the day after - no one showed up to vote? Just wondering how that maths?!
We lost because a vast majority of eligible voters didn't give a fuck what happened to everyone else. Apathy is the only value that Americans as a whole seem to have.
That's just random snippets, the article doesn't prove beyond reasonable doubt an altogether fair election. It doesn't adress Trumpy's claims that Elon did "something clever" about the election, and that's what people take issue with. Find something better to spam.
Well…MAYBE…more like they were FAR BETTER ORGANIZED, had/have plans at every level of government to install like minded candidates, NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING was/is off the table strategically to win EVERY race!
Dems HAD/HAVE NO LEADERSHIP OR PLANS but perhaps write a stern letter. UNORGANIZED 🤷♀️
The Heritage Foundation has been working on placing like minded people in government and law for over 40 years. Very organized, vicious, and Constitution ignoring. Time for DEMS to take both the long and short view to save our country. #VoteBlue #LividAndLoud
I understand your point, but I wonder if the rules that were enacted by the party in power for this Congress is hamstringing the minority party in some way. I don’t know if there is a place where those rules can be read. #LividAndLoud
No no. You did well telling the truth. The hate and alot of other factors such as terrorism within a family that tells another family member they will be disowned and kicked out kinda was one of the few things that made this happen, besides the rich white african nazi spending to make it happen.
That’s true AND voter rolls were purged AND voting machines were tampered with. It’s not one thing only but all three combined that made it easier to steal the election.
Agree to disagree, because we’re still free to disagree, at least until that is outlawed by the dick-tator along with the many other rights being taken away.
You have absolutely zero proof that the election was "stolen." Harris lost by a small margin. You want to focus on some wild conspiracy rather than acknowledge it was white people being effing racist. 🤷♀️ I'm not going to agree to disagree because you're wrong.
She lost bc the Hispanic & black men believed his lies 😕
They’ll all feeling the consequences of their decision and they’ll feel it doubly so if this awful bill passes and they’ll be even more worse off financially !
I never said I had proof but I definitely believe it is true. It’s not a conspiracy when FOTUS has said multiple times that Elon “got” him enough votes, and they didn’t need any more votes because they already had enough. Just because I don’t have proof doesn’t make it false.
The blues could dispute it as their campaign was part based in trusting the result and the constitution. They were backed into a corner
I'm neither side as I think politics needs a complete overhaul. But I can see the game of chess.
Because of their lies, maga will unravel maga. It’s coming. The poorest states are red and will feel trumps cuts the most. Midterms, their constituents will remember recent pain and vote to replace. In the meantime, trumps raking in billions for his personal, so he doesn’t give a shit about being
We lost because they usurped our role as change agents from the 60's and 70's. Think Chuck Schumer, Gerry Connolly, Hakeem Jeffries, and yes, President Biden.
We have & will continue to pay a very high price for not speaking the plain and accurate truth about the state of affairs...the good, the bad and the in between. We failed to have the heart-to-heart, sometimes painful convos with folks like they were a friend, a neighbor or family. Move forward!
I respectfully disagree. I think they won because many were apathetic and didn’t vote, or self-righteous and voted 3rd party. We all saw Jan 6; if that was not enough for everyone to understand that voting Harris was our only option, nothing we said would be…
I agree! I think they also ignored Harris’s actions that showed a sterner approach to the situation without giving into any one side. Bob Woodward’s book War gave me great insight into the Biden administration and Harris’s own approach. She would have been a great president now! Hopefully will be!
Few in rural OH (or rural America) gave or gives a damn about Gaza. They were greatly worried about gays, trans, Muslims, Haitians, illegals—especially all those imaginary criminals, and any other lies Fox spewed.
I've never bought a house, but my parents have bought 3. I would not have qualified for her $25k plan, which, let's face it, would result in immediate $15k price increases. You'd be dumb NOT to, knowing there's an extra 25k out there, like car dealers at tax refund time. Capitalism, remember?
People won’t raise prices if new units are consistently coming on the market at lower prices. To remain competitive, they would need to lower their asking prices. The reason they can do so now is that private equity buys up the housing stock immediately, leaving no alternative for buyers to pursue.
Yep. Houses in my area are over 1 million even in the worst neighborhoods for houses literally falling apart. $25,000 in aid after tons of paperwork wouldn't have made a dent for me either. Democratic "solutions" offered in the election season sounded lame and ineffective because they were.
She also promised to ban Wall Street from the housing market and build three million new units. The median down payment on a home is $75,000. It would make a dent for a ton of people. If your only criteria for whether a policy helps people is “does it help me?” that’s a pretty myopic outlook.
If your parents bought a home, you don't qualify. What's the current home ownership %? Their children wouldn't qualify,meaning,the majority. Not just me. It's 65%,btw. 35% eligible. Seems to help the few more than the many. My parents didn't give me anything, from the age of 18 on. But screw me?
What I'm saying is that the solutions offered by the dems are too little too late. They're not willing to appeal to real issues people are dealing with. It's not about me, it's about making this country a decent place to live
No, we lost because party leadership was cool with genocide and then tried to gaslight everyone into thinking that they were doing ANYTHING to stop it.
The truth: They're just as in the pocket of their donors as the Republicans, and any Dem who can't get on board with that is punished or primaried.
I hate to tell you, your voice was fucking stolen in November. It was either stolen, purged, or changed.
Then you all accepted that bullshit lie that we "sat out". And CONTINUE to accept it. That is how they fucking won & continue to win, destroy us because you fuckers accepted that scam in Nov.
EVERY election is stolen by Republicans, because they specifically gerrymander them to have more representation than Dems. That's why GOP POTUS's NEVER win the popular vote, and why it takes an OVERWHELMING majority of democratic voters to overwhelm that.
The problem is, the Democratic leadership rarely listens to its constituents to support popular legislation, and instead tries to court the imaginary Republican majority with BS like hardcore border policies in an attempt to be "Republican Lite."
by being shameless center-right doofuses and telling people that they "need to get in line or the Republicans win" while putting forth legislation in sole service to Wall Street and barely meeting the MINIMUM of people's material needs that prevents them from winning more consistently.
I concur. Liars will always lie. All "family" exaggerate/lie like breathing. I learned early in life people lie to be pitied. I called them out which made them more victimized. Have been estranged from them for at least 10 years. Trump added to it.
NOPE.
Unless you include that truth that Elonia Muskatella used technology to swing the election to 🍊💩.
I refuse to believe that the majority of people in this cuntry are THAT stupid OR that racist.
But I DO KNOW, "A grifter's gonna grift".
GO LOOK AT THE VIDEO! IT'S ON YOU TUBE!
The democrats, and other liberal governments not winning because they are refusing to accept that the facsists are changing the game. Doubling down on the game that democrats can never win. All these years of rising hate and we just let them walk-in and take over.
What you are saying is expertly designed to have people focused on nothing, instead of taking on the real problems in the Democratic Party that got us here. When Trump says things were rigged and you are agreeing with him, take a moment to think about why you and he are on the same side of this.
This perfectly fits Trump’s pattern of “preemptive accusation.” Like a scammer running a Ponzi scheme accusing other investment firms as frauds. Trump’s behavior is obvious and he (as well as the GOP) is capable of rigging elections. Their accusations are their cover. Did it happen? Not implausible.
Democrat leaders lost because their lies were more easily detected after 4 years of ignoring the needs of Americans & 1 year of genocide. The Democratic Party has served the rich & the US war machine for 40 years, just like Republicans. Different color, same bullshit.
Roughly a third of the electorate voted for hatred, pure and simple. Another 1/3 stayed home for a myriad of reasons. The moral decent voters couldn't overcome the defection of mainstream media to unethical kowtowing to the blob. The complicity from SCOTUS and the GOP enabled this misery.
Agreed, but the default state of humans is self-preservation. If they’re hurt economically by this administration, the GOP could very well lose those votes in the midterms. That’s not to say we shouldn’t make every effort to shut these thieves down. VOTE THEM OUT! #VoteBlue #LividAndLoud
Or we lost because we thought America was better than it was. An amoral electorate KNOWINGLY voted for a criminal and didn't care. That is why we lost....period.
so simple means conservative, Git it. democrats are unable to think of anycolution beyond stick their fingers ion their ears and torture innocent people to death. Hitler was seriously ore liberal than that
They relied on confusing the electorate.I remember vividly flying back from London to Inverness & the back seats of the plane were filled with suited political stooges with posh English accents planning how to spread disinformation & laughing about it.That experience changed me politically forever.
Now *THAT is 100% truth and 100% perspective all bundled up. Though the sheer reach of that lie matters.
I tend to bifurcate these, blaming the D party for reaching no one but the faithful, while noting Musk's TwitX amplified Trump to all the lower-info voters.
It's wrong. The Democrats ran on "protecting democracy" while simultaneously canceling elections in their own primaries and running a candidate the public could plainly see was not mentally fit. Further, they armed and funded a genocide while saying Trump would be bad. It's hard to be worse.
We know his lil sidekick rigged it. His reward was to dismantle all government services that were fining him or investigating him. Then, just for fun, he closed a few more, and was given access to our personal information. Quid pro quo at it's finest.
We lost because they rigged the election. Trump said it, Russia said it, millions of us heard about the bomb threats, the burned ballots, attacks on poll workers. We can all see the overly gerrymandered maps and the extremely limited polling locations conviently located in the whitest areas.
Oh gosh, this is a faults equivalent! People have been sucked into a void of conspiracy theory thinking, cult mind control, and we are struggling to find how to do a national intervention! It took a horrible war to break us out of slavery and the Germans out of nazi belief/hatred. Help!
Unfortunately, propaganda works. There are no constraints in the United States to what is fed into people's brains (or who buys our politicians for that matter). Our phones make amazing leaflets. It's a pych op. And it's working.
But I find it fascinating that after losing to him two times, the American Left only wants to blame others and double down on more of the same instead of asking what *they* did to make Trump look like a good alternative for people on the fence.
I think you mean liberals. Otherwise you're just projecting the failures of the DNC onto the left. We told y'all what would happen. The liberals are the ones who kept saying since 2016 they don't need the left and they chose instead to cather to the right. How did that work out?
So the Democrats are not really left anymore. Theyve moved closer to the center. My suggestion is to label them liberals. Once you start talking about the Left you're talking about anti-capitalist/corporatist/imperialist ideals.
The older voters are traditional and think as long as there's a D next to their name, you should support them unconditionally. I and many other voters under 40 look at their actions. I voted for Hillary, Biden and Harris, but I don't think I'll ever vote for another Democrat unless they jump left.
So I always voted Democrat and I'm a leftist. Last few elections I've begrudgingly voted for them. I wouldn't even know how to label all of us, but what I will say is, the Democratic National Committee is not left, their donor class, consultant class, and pundits are center left or liberal at best.
Thats not why at all.
Maga doesn't care that they were lied to, as long as enough minorities get hurt.
Democrats had an easy win, but they wanted to cater to the right for money and felt they could ignore the anti-genocide left, but they were wrong. Thats what happened, nothing else.
Yes, Democrats IGNORED huge swaths of their voters, left out POLICY concerns completely unaddressed.
So I voted for Cornel West, who actually supports what I care about. That's what it takes to get my vote, and Kamala did NOT step up to the plate on those issues.
Not voting for somebody who says they don't want your vote is hardly a protest. The Dems lost an easy election because of their own actions, nobody else.
That 2.5 month long election season for the Dem candidate was one of the hardest elections on a Dem candidate ever, and she still managed to come within 1.5% of winning it all.
She lost to the guy that already lost to Biden. It was an easy slam dunk, but the Dems self sabotaged themselves to try to appeal to the right. The next 2 should be easy as well, but if they don't learn they'll fumble them again.
And she didn't have to lose, but she refused to be more #Progressive than Biden, and that's why she didn't get the votes of a lot of us who simply will not vote for someone who isn't closer in policy positions to Bernie Sanders.
This time around, the 1% of voters like her who voted “other” did not make the difference. It was provably the 30% who didn’t turn out to vote. The truth didn’t reach the ones who thought their vote didn’t matter.
Yes there was. The truth that the Dem President was not fit to run another term should have gotten out there in time to have either allowed a Dem primary or to have given Kamala more time to ramp up. We disagree about her likability.
Kiddo, I voted from someone whose values ACTUALLY ALIGN WITH MY OWN.
The question you should be asking is, "How did nominating another corporatist moderate work out?"
And ask, "Why do the #Democrats keep nominating people that huge swaths of the base DON'T WANT AS PRESIDENT?"
Not sure about this. They are better at simplifying their message, while we overcomplicate ours.
#SimpleIsSmart when it comes to communications. There are no complicated ideas, only complicated messages. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is a master plan of this.
My opinion is simpler. I heard the very same lies Krasnov told his base although am able to discern fact from fiction, right from wrong. Krasnov targeted the greedy, the racist and the stupid which as it turned out, are very reliable voters. Our problem is the apathetic and the plain lazy.
The MAGAs all sing the same song in unison over and over. They know how to market; it's like selling beer or shampoo.
Simple message, exaggerated benefits, emotional appeal.
Catchy buzzwords and slogans.
Bernie Sanders has a consistent, focused message. Dems should emulate Bernie.
They had refined their voter suppression machinery, plus who knows other rigging that was done to computer doftwares and networks...that will come out in the future. But, you're right about the lying part.
We also lost due to their successful vote and voter disqualification efforts. And we don’t know if we are even having another election. We cannot wait until 2026 elections to do something. The time is now.
Dems lost bc election was hacked & they were too polite to call for a forensic investigation. !?*%! Dems need some clever like a fix fighters & so far it’s conservative polite losers in the DNC.
You could be right. Because we KNEW a cheater was going to cheat & know he's illegitimate.
Yet the whole goddamn country believed he fucking won. With the stupidest propaganda behind it, that we "sat out".
Even after record registrations & overflowing rallies, they still bought that bullshit.
No. I'm sorry. Biden's ill-health was covered up. And Gaza we could see for ourselves.
Can we PLEASE stop painting the Dems as angels who could do no wrong? They may win the next election with the same attitude given Trump has proved such a disaster, but if they maintain it then a Heritage...
Of necessity, the inimical forces behind Trump have had to hitch their wagon to an ass, but they're learning from what he's doing and in 2032 they'll hitch that wagon to a stallion. That will make Project 2033 make Project 2025 look like a picnic.
... heaven's sake, please... the Dems can't rest on faded - and failed - laurels. They have to find an alternative to the status quo that, since Reagan, has seen both parties cooperate in a project that has increasingly failed ordinary Americans to bring the nation to where it is today.
... promised anarchy and has delivered. People don't vote for that when they're happy with the status quo. They vote for that when they want to see the status quo razed to the ground.
I'm not an American, I'm a Brit, and in all honesty no, I suspect it wouldn't change my outlook. Even if it were to do so, I sincerely doubt it would make any difference.
My attitude, as detailed above, is that the system has been broken by successive governments since Reagan, including the...
Republicans and conservatives message based on emotions and fear, not logic or reason. Unfortunately, people in general are more easily persuaded with the former approach.
He caught COVID 3/4 times during Presidency, inc during CNN debate wi Trump. At his age I'm not surprised at fluctuations in memory at those times..but it wasn't consistent throughout 4 yrs..unlike Trump's severe PD & learning disability.
Irrelevant. I’ve had it twice, and I’m younger than Biden by 20 years and I was still able to not miss a day of work (from home). Trump has it too, probably multiple times, and I don’t remember him disappearing for months at a time, like Biden did. Often his cabinet was unable to get to him.
GOP was united in their lying message but Dems did not have strong unified message. Dems were trying to be nice to every culture group which did not unite the whole party. Nice guys always finish last.
No Takei, we lost because of the racism and xenophobia. That’s why we all lost. It was never about the economy or crime, not for the vast majority of the millions who voted for the convicted felon. He’s tanking the markets and they still support him. It’s all about Make America White Again.
and jealousy. They vote against the blue/liberal ideas because they see, in their minds that people live better in those states.
The mentality isn't trying to improve it's to bring down others.
More people will always believe a comfortable lie than the difficult truth. Our gatekeepers, upon whom Democracy depends, the Congress, the justice system and the press, failed us.
Mainstream media promoted Trump again. Harris couldn’t even breathe without the media blasting her as wrong. Everything Trump did was exceptional to them. They added fuel to his lies instead of pointing out the horrors and truth. I hold them responsible and Starlink. I still don’t believe he won.
No actually, we didn't elect him. Gop voter suppression and muskrat did. And if we don't do something about it, they will do the same thing in 2026 and beyond, until there are no more free or fair elections. Kinda like in russia. https://youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo?si=38XZFU7lbnU2tyQm
I live between Italy & Switzerland, and what you talk about is happening here, too.
“They” know how to successfully manipulate (groom?) the unschooled, illiterate, poor, to vote against their own wellbeing + interests just “to own” the progressive side..
It’s sad, & it’s terrifying at the same time
Right wing propaganda bet on quick bursts of info (flood the zone with inflammatory conspiracies to distract) and outrage. I recently read a right wing article that contradicted itself two paragraphs later but sounded reasonably intelligent. This apparently worked enough to (barely) let Trump win.
Yes. Fox has been pumping propaganda into American homes since 1996. And US military bases for at least a decade. It’s a lot to undo and we srsly need to catch up asap.
The RW media is a huge influence. And it continues to be. It has been allowed to feed lies to people, keeping them angry and scared. It influences votes.
Until people have a real come to Jesus moment with it, more people will get sucked into the lies and hate
This! The media has amplified felon since that day decades ago (it just feels that long) that he announced he was running. And they took as truth every filthy lie out of his mouth. So many are complicit, so many at fault, but the media bears an overwhelming share of the blame.
And the Democratic Party just can’t seem to get their act together or put up their dukes when the moment calls for it. Like now. As usual, a day late and a dollar short. We need new, younger members in the party who have the tenacity we need today. I’m so over with the 19th century party.
I know it's fun to blame cheating and lying, but maybe we lost because our guy was obviously lying to the world for a good chunk of his term? Maybe because he was funding a genocide? Maybe because he ignored the border? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/2024-election-day-fact-check/
We lost because we panicked after the debate. Biden had a great economy, low unemployment, great trade, respect of other countries. If he were allowed to run, he would be president today.
I don't know how it is in the USA but here is Australia they need to sell there policies to us
What they want to do
How they will get there
Who it will help
How much it will cost
If we don't see or believe them we do not vote for them
Australia has a complete different voting system, different way of defining electoral regions, mandatory voting, better education system and Rupert Murdoch went to US to spread his poison.
Well Rupert still owns 60% of the Australian print media. He is a bit like Fosters Beer every one thinks we like to drink it but we think it is possum piss. We know what he and his son are doing so we just rule any thing he prints as rubbish gutter journalism.
We need to be clear repeating the narrative that he cheated/didn’t win/illegitimate, a felon continually grifting breaking law after law - is truly demented with dementia making a malignant narcissist extremely dangerous. No policies exist. Discussing “policies” gives legitimacy to him. No.Stop it.
There's not really enough characters to allow my opinion as to why your team lost in 2024. Your team still blames everything from "stupid voters" to "their team lied better". C'mon. seriously? Your team lost because it took traditional voters for granted. I think with Kamala Harris, they oops sorry
Sorry. I think with Harris, they should've given her the power of the Presidency if they were so determined she be the '24 "nominee". But it don't matter. As an indy, I really wasn't very happy with the choices anyways. I had to go with who I thought was gonna suck less. Yes. Suck less. Oh well ...
Sorry... On the plus side Every cloud has a silver lining, so does this. I get to tell my MAGA zombie co workers stuff like, "how's them tariffs? What's with the price of eggs ?" Don't blame me. I didn't vote for him. They like hearing that.
Sadly this is true. Although to be clear they would report their lies, MAGATS believed them, Democrats refuted the lie but MAGATS focus on the first thing they hear and accept it as the truth.
It's likely just as corrupt, but without the influence as now. We have a generation now trained not to believe the news—before the news was trusted, the truth was exposed!
Alternative facts weren't a thing then,
Midterms are a way for dems to pass the responsibility on to others. We should be sitting in at all of our reps offices, demanding action, down at legacy media banging on the doors, protesting every week instead of every 6. #goptakedown
A lot of Americans are brown coloured and they also voted for the orange shitface, now they are surprised when the ICE comes to arrest them just because of their colour
I think (and I think the same about Brexit) that Democrats lost because of a complacency that the arguments of the other side were such a load of guff that they couldn’t win. Unfortunately you can win over the masses with terrible guff if it’s what they want to hear, whether credible or not.
I disagree with this statement. The media wants sensationalism. Absurd conspiracies and lies are more entertaining and get more attention than the truth.
Just stop. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestine people in Gaza. If more so-called Americans cared what was happening here more than in another country, we wouldn't be where we are now. Your attitude gave the United States the kumquat blob. Enjoy!
Tell me more of your ignorance on how the Electoral College works, and of your apparent aphasia for 2024. Did I say that "only I" can stop trump--even as my decline was apparent, and 1 MONTH post a disastrous debate?? Did "I" insist 'no daylight' btw me & Harris? Did I lie for Genocide? No I didn't.
PS: Without Biden there would BE no "Genocide on Steroids" in Gaza. So please, take your obvious displacement for your own guilt, elsewhere. You vote for genocide; and nothing's gonna change that.
I disagree, respectfully.
We lost because we have party leaders actively trying to oust David Hogg instead of clearing a path for him. Party leaders who shuffled onto a stage one night and bickered about golf handicaps. Party leaders who cockblocked Bernie Sanders. Those are the truths burying us.
For many the gleeful support of genocide was a red line. The Biden administration committed war crimes and Harris stated she would continue. You can say “who is worse”? Then why didn’t Dems lean into progressive policies if the progressives have the power to tank the party? Was Liz Cheney worth it?
Nope. We lost because the GOP is purging legitimate voters.https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/mass-purges-are-new-voter-suppression
It's so much easier to control messaging when it's a lie. Good people can have 100 different truths that are important to them. Evil people can choose 3 or 4 lies and repeat them ad nauseum to an uninformed electorate.
'The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.'
You lost because you assumed lightning would never strike twice, and you were forced to run a last-minute candidate who didn't have the full weight of her own party behind her. And that's without mentioning billionaire controlled media and business interests...
Comments
Dumb people are taken in by the lies smart people warn them about.
e.g. Boris fucking Johnson, Michael fucking Gove and Nigel fucking Farage.
She promised to continue the genocide.
Then she lost.
Speech suppression is real. If it were just me braving risk of harm, I'd do it.
Publish that puppy! Or damn us all.
And they're *still* ignoring it. We're all damned
We lost because people were desperate for change, and trump was a grenade they could throw at the system.

But I don’t see anything happening with Schumer and Jeffries in leadership positions but not leading!
They’ll all feeling the consequences of their decision and they’ll feel it doubly so if this awful bill passes and they’ll be even more worse off financially !
I'm neither side as I think politics needs a complete overhaul. But I can see the game of chess.
But we really need to figure out how to finally do it well!!
Ask those voters:
“Are Gazans better off today under Trump than they would have been under Harris?”
The truth: They're just as in the pocket of their donors as the Republicans, and any Dem who can't get on board with that is punished or primaried.

GO LOOK AT THE VIDEO! IT'S ON YOU TUBE!
AIPAC won.
The Left.
Democrats and Liberals called them communists and ran them out of town. What a mistake that was.
A lot of voters behave like sports fans, and will vote for their team, no matter what, because it's what they do, what they are.
The radical right has a propaganda machine that would have made Göebbles proud.
Oversaturation of lardass' events, pressers, rallies with ZERO pushback on his LIES.
What hits hard is population realignment. In 2032, we can win all the Biden states and still lose the election. Red states are gaining people.
The original post still stands.
1. Billy Budd by Melville (66 pgs) or
2. The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck 464 (pgs)
Most chose Budd because 66 pgs looked easy to read. They found out it was hard to follow. Trump is like Budd.
Harris is like Grapes. Easy to follow regardless of 464 pgs.
Ex: Trump said he'd stop illegal immigration. Didn't explain the process, just the end result.
Harris said illegal immigration must be stopped but we have to make sure the process is fair because of nuance.
His version sounded better to them.

There are too many racist in this country .
That’s why we lost .
I tend to bifurcate these, blaming the D party for reaching no one but the faithful, while noting Musk's TwitX amplified Trump to all the lower-info voters.
We lost because we couldn’t reach MAGA voters, though our policies benefit them most.
The truth is boring. Often times it is nuanced and detailed.
It’s easier to believe the lie than it is to learn the truth.

I'm sorry. It totally sucks watching your fellow citizens be brainwashed.
But I find it fascinating that after losing to him two times, the American Left only wants to blame others and double down on more of the same instead of asking what *they* did to make Trump look like a good alternative for people on the fence.
Another time I said Democrats but that wasn't OK either so now I tried the Left to say everyone not on the Republican side.
What do you suggest I write when I mean everyone who want to vote for some Democrat candidate? (instead of a Republican)

Maga doesn't care that they were lied to, as long as enough minorities get hurt.
Democrats had an easy win, but they wanted to cater to the right for money and felt they could ignore the anti-genocide left, but they were wrong. Thats what happened, nothing else.
Yes, Democrats IGNORED huge swaths of their voters, left out POLICY concerns completely unaddressed.
So I voted for Cornel West, who actually supports what I care about. That's what it takes to get my vote, and Kamala did NOT step up to the plate on those issues.
All the shit that's happening right now is *directly* at your feet.
To Donald Trump.
And she didn't have to lose, but she refused to be more #Progressive than Biden, and that's why she didn't get the votes of a lot of us who simply will not vote for someone who isn't closer in policy positions to Bernie Sanders.
#Democrats need to learn that lesson.
What there was...was a candidate people didn't actually like.
A candidate who didn't address their concerns.
A candidate who didn't meet voters where THEY are, who expected THE VOTERS to change for the candidate, not the candidate representing the voters.
Kiddo, I voted from someone whose values ACTUALLY ALIGN WITH MY OWN.
The question you should be asking is, "How did nominating another corporatist moderate work out?"
And ask, "Why do the #Democrats keep nominating people that huge swaths of the base DON'T WANT AS PRESIDENT?"
Interesting.
Telling truths often involves complexity.
#SimpleIsSmart when it comes to communications. There are no complicated ideas, only complicated messages. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is a master plan of this.
Simple message, exaggerated benefits, emotional appeal.
Catchy buzzwords and slogans.
Bernie Sanders has a consistent, focused message. Dems should emulate Bernie.
The problem is, even today, people don't want to see it.
there were more nonvoters/3rd party voter than either candidate achieved
trump and miller thank them
the people of gaza and ukraine do not
They will never hear the truth because it doesn’t tell them what they want to hear!!
Yet the whole goddamn country believed he fucking won. With the stupidest propaganda behind it, that we "sat out".
Even after record registrations & overflowing rallies, they still bought that bullshit.
We lost because the USA kept cutting Education Budgets.
Now, we have a whole generation of dumbasses.
Shot ourselves in the foot.
Can we PLEASE stop painting the Dems as angels who could do no wrong? They may win the next election with the same attitude given Trump has proved such a disaster, but if they maintain it then a Heritage...
Of necessity, the inimical forces behind Trump have had to hitch their wagon to an ass, but they're learning from what he's doing and in 2032 they'll hitch that wagon to a stallion. That will make Project 2033 make Project 2025 look like a picnic.
So for...
Trump...
The Dems MUST acknowledge that.
My attitude, as detailed above, is that the system has been broken by successive governments since Reagan, including the...
The mentality isn't trying to improve it's to bring down others.
But Kamala Harrisd KEPT promising to continue the genocide.
You know, murdering brown people.
Harris choose Israel over USA.

90M people of voting age didn't bother to register
4% of Democrats, 40% Independents voted for lardass.
Just 64% voted turnout.
That's neither Musk nor voter suppression, that's lot of people that don't give fuck and never do, turnout bottom 1/3 in world.
“They” know how to successfully manipulate (groom?) the unschooled, illiterate, poor, to vote against their own wellbeing + interests just “to own” the progressive side..
It’s sad, & it’s terrifying at the same time
Until people have a real come to Jesus moment with it, more people will get sucked into the lies and hate
Oversaturation of lardass' events, pressers, rallies with ZERO pushback from lame-ass media.
Ratings and tax cuts.
'Nuff said.
Is it because memes get more interactions? More scope? A bigger impact? Draw away from the typed words of the average American?
What they want to do
How they will get there
Who it will help
How much it will cost
If we don't see or believe them we do not vote for them

I bet many people wish they had listened to the truth instead of Donnie big mouth.
Stop waiting for the midterms. You need to act now.
Republicans are complicit in his daily impeachable acts. Charge them accordingly. Remove them. Impeach 47.
Alternative facts weren't a thing then,
Your country is seriously close to becoming a dictatorship.
Put your energy into stopping him and protect your freedoms before it's too late!
It’s not as if previous election results haven’t been dragged out for weeks waiting for results to be clarified.
If it was rigged, you let it happen
In an age where reality often feels stranger than fiction, the idea that stories can shape the world is no longer a metaphor – it’s a method

The Do Nothing Dems are also The Highly Educated Yet Surprisingly Inept Dems
We lost because we have party leaders actively trying to oust David Hogg instead of clearing a path for him. Party leaders who shuffled onto a stage one night and bickered about golf handicaps. Party leaders who cockblocked Bernie Sanders. Those are the truths burying us.
It's fucking not.
Only maga believes he won legitimately
A known cheater didn't cheat??
You bought that propaganda SOO easily and it's disgusting 😒
