🧵So I've been thinking about why we lost the election quite a bit. And I've been looking at a lot of "Democrats must adjust" kind of apologist nonsense, and how Harris's campaign was flawed.
Most of what is out there is utter and complete bullshit that has nothing to do with reality.

I did not see a single ad from the left supporting trans rights.
Ppl thought Trump would help first time home buyers- that was a Harris plan- Dem messaging and MSM Pro Trump coverage broke the truth.
Example: "woke", "DEI".
No need to explain anything more.
..was just remembering when republicans used to accuse Dems of using Hollywood to influence people. Republicans were never really good at it. See; George Baby Bush on any late night talk show.
They’ve learned to implement psychology and new tech well, the tables have been turned.
Especially white democrats
We ceded the field
What happened is the media let the Republicans define her.
Donald Trump constantly calls the Democrats the "enemy of the people" and Biden doesn't pronounce one fucking apostrophe clearly, and he called everyone garbage.
As though Democrats are something other than "real Americans." But this makes Dems seem something other than "real."
Which BTW, it wasn't.

Republicans made them feel they were fighting FOR them, while everything they want to do is HURT them. But the average voter goes by "feeling."

True Biden voters went for VP Harris without hesitation.
There is a small conservative college (now university) in that town. In the early 2000s I noticed the GOP doing something smart & under the radar. Someone from Bush’s farm
The GOP has done this for years.
These are not giant rallies. These are more intimate and they are not just for donors. Regular ppl can go. They are events to spread the word and solidify loyalty and democrats, to my knowledge, have not done this. @jenpink.bsky.social

Journalists should do this too, without the star treatment .. like the big guns should leave their studios
4. The constant media attention—good and bad—translates into positive publicity for Trump
5. Dems’ constant brow beating of Trump and his supporters
1. Biden’s overwhelming ineffectiveness tainted Kamala by association
2. When asked in a national interview if there’s anything the administration should’ve done differently, Kamala said there was nothing she’d change. Yikes. Very out of touch.
Either way you slice it, Trump or Biden—both terrible.
Republicans and Democrats: two crappy wings of the same broken plane.
Why? $$
It's a system of rule by the rich. But the masses must earn enough to buy what's produced. We, the masses, will be managed. Someone needs to keep reminding them that happy consumers with enough spending money are a better market.
😁
1. Racism
2. Sexism
Take those away, and all other factors shrivel to insignificance
Hillary Clinton didn’t lose because of her pant suits. Kamala Harris didn’t lose because she laughs.
Keep going! I don’t want big government but a net and a hand up for those who can make a difference. ACA is a perfect example of good government.

Over the next four years, I think voters are gonna find out that what they thought they were voting for and what they’re get are very different .
