I love this because it actually explains why Democrats lost the election by ignoring the big picture.
Biden was "unpopular"
Not because he wasn't successful as President. Just that no one cares about facts.
And once the ground was ceded to disinformation, there was no path to victory. 1/3

Don't start this b.s. Honestly, Harris lost due to many facts.
1) Many people stayed home due to the Israel and Palestine conflict.
2) Harris did not separate herself from Biden's policies.
3) There was no primary for Democrats. DNC did not push it forward.
4) Biden dropping out so late.

I just wish Joe would have stuck to the transitional role and let a full primary play out.
But that’s armchair QB’ing
Turns out, letting a few billionaires buy up our media outlets was a bad idea (esp when said outlets are conglomerates of corp entertainment behemoths)
Factor in the NYT & WaPo's blatant bias, plus RW domination of social media/podcasting spaces and... 🤷♀️
Harris lost because across the country the Black vote was the lowest turnout in decades.
Repub’s successfully suppressed voter turnout.
In #Detroit, had we voted, Harris would have won #Michigan.
Now why don’t they ask Biden’s best friend, Mayor Duggan, Why?
But I felt 82+ was too old to be POTUS. The debate was bad.
Do you really think he beats Trump? You think if he stays, he wins?
Value your opinion. Thanks.
Meanwhile, even after everything we know about him, 57% of white voters chose a man who couldn't pass a security clearance for most jobs.
Too much cult of personality.
He was also the incumbent in a political age where incumbents are losing world wide.
Harris needed more time to develop her message & fine tune for specific groups. Pandering to ousted Repubs did not help.
Gaza and Ukraine will suffer under Trump.
Huckabee, Trump’s appointment to Israel thinks it’s fine to displace and kill Palestinians. “No such thing as the West Bank”

That's the extend of his 80yo twice loser of ppl vote with record numbers, twice impeached, fired in 2020, demented illiterate felon rapist's "appeal".
Plus the fact that the hate machine has taken over this country and is a super spreader of misinformation 24/7. We are waaaaay behind the game
His entire campaign was incoherent rambling.
The first attempt at a true AMERICAN populist movement.
An AGEDNA truly for THE PEOPLE.
Both parties have been corrupted by oligarchs who manipulate the media to divide.
I have an idea 💡 let’s start something BIG.
It’s heartbreaking really — the man gave his entire life to this country and delivered on the most ambitious political agenda this nation has seen in the past century while President and was still treated so poorly.
Disinformation is an error.
You can't win by separating yourself from the most successful president of our lifetime.
There was a primary and Biden outperformed Trump with their respective voters.
Biden dropped out "late" because Dem insiders panicked over a debate 2/3
An unpopular potus is not reelected & his VP never wins either going back a long time.
Trumps lies permeated every where
Sorry, but this is BS. Biden was unpopular & Dems wanted him not to run WAY before the debate. The debate confirmed the reporting on his enfeeblement. Enough w/ the gaslighting. Unfollowed because of it.
Pew polls from April:
There was no candidate/primary/campaign/Gaza solution to winning the election because those don't address the actual problem
Do you realize you are making an ass out of yourself? You need to realize there were many factors why Harris lost to Trump. There were white Christian men who did not want see a woman of color leading the country. Elon pumping millions into Polymarket and giving people money to vote for
Any advice how Dems (like me, who dig you) might gain engagement instead of screaming into a void?
Or are some of us just cursed?
I get mad and have to walk away.
Thank you for being more patient than me.
