White people are to blame for Drumpf, 100%. But one question I’d like answered is why there was such a massive shift in support from 20 to 24 amongst Latino voters, especially men. Either there’s a MAJOR messaging mistake going on, or someone is fudging the numbers, and I’d like to know which.

There's a large right wing ecosystem on social media like TikTok, YouTube, & other such platforms that young people prefer. Over & over, young white men are being told they are denied what is "rightfully" theirs: sex from women, good paying jobs, economic security & young white men are believing it.

Young Latino men are getting the same message PLUS the Latino culture they grew up in is very patriarchal so it was easier to turn them against a Black woman. That's not Harris' fault but failing to address it is her fault.

There have been a number of articles written on this. Unfortunately my browser lost all my saved tabs so I don't necessarily have them ready. But the jist is, the GOP opened up local branches in a lot of minority communities and did extensive outreach to them, with the goal of siphoning off support

(rather than outright winning) to make things significantly closer in battleground states. This article I still have saved from the Guardian covers it some: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/10/scranton-pennsylvania-residents-react-trump-win

You are doubting that Democrats are making a major messaging mistake?

curioussnowflake.bsky.social•7 days ago

Obviously they are, but in this specific case the messaging really didn’t change from 20 to 24. So what did change?

"I can't be racist, I voted for Kamala" ass clowns

Why are we still fixing blame? That’s taking us away from the focus of beating the son of a bitches back.

Some of these "left" white supremacist jackasses don't want to do the work to stop it.

I think the 2000 election broke a lot of liberal/centrists minds. I was in a long thread this week with one of them, who insisted it was Nader voters who cost Gore the election. I gave them ample scientific backed analysis of why this was not the case. Eventually they came back with 30k Nader voters

kernighan.bsky.social•7 days ago

(their number, not clear to me where they got it from) are the reason Gore lost. So I asked them, how are 30k Nader voters more responsible for Gore's loss than the 308,000 Democrats who voted for Bush? At which point they blocked me. Because to answer that truthfully, they have to admit it is

Democrats voting against their own nominees that are giving wins to the GOP.

Aside: Gore won the 2000 election and the Florida vote, but thanks to SCOTUS appointing Bush President, here we are.

And fucking BORING.

Shit's played out.

easy65.bsky.social•7 days ago

52% of white women voted for Trump. Blame them. It’s well deserved.

kernighan.bsky.social•7 days ago

And 63% of white men. I blame them too.

mybookstand.bsky.social•7 days ago

Exactly.

heavy-grasshopper.bsky.social•7 days ago

I don't think it's hard to understand why the people getting blamed made the choice they did. I think it was a mistake, but they had no good options. Biden fucked up. Harris didn't admit they fucked up. And that hurt us. Let's try to do better. Let's be better allies.

And blame the racists.

“You did this to yourself” sounds very much like the justification of an abuser.

Seems like with a li’l imagination, and some ingenuity, there’s a threefer in there somewhere.

possumdementhe.bsky.social•7 days ago

I am sick of seeing all these weenies retconning what actually happened like as if there wasn't the shenanigans with the EC the first time and other obvious election interference/manipulation the second time he won. He's such an obvious asset.
