They proved that they would vote for ANY man rather than ANY woman. He's possibly the worst candidate ever, she was possibly one of the best candidates in terms of experience and qualifications.
If it was Lady Liberty Herself in human form or a drunken male bum, they'd choose the bum.
"Trump or anyone" should not be a difficult choice. Here in the UK I mostly have to vote for the candidate most likely to beat the worst one. After all, not voting does not mean no winner.
That doesn't even answer the point I made. We actually have multiple parties, but there are some so much worse than others. So the priority is to vote for someone who can beat the worst candidate(s)
It does, because even in your system that allows more than two parties you still get shitty politicans that fuck you over in the end, because they are corrupt.
What campaign strategy could be worse than calling half of the country the enemy from within and calling immigrants vermin?
Why do people say VP Harris had a failed campaign strategy when in reality the USA failed its morality test?
Because she did, clearly, because she lost to Trump, like Hillary did, and Hillary losing to Trump had nothing to do with her being a woman, it was because she was a clinton and her nasty fingers were in many pies.
The USA has really presented their true values to the world. Supporting a rapist, fascist, racist, insurrections, a deeply trouble person with absolutely no charisma. But now there is no doubt who you are.
That is not the "true values" you are being hyperbolic and dramatic, a minority voted for Trump, and dems experienced a split after corporate dems tried to force another corrupt corporate dem down peoples throats, which caused many to simply not vote because they have lost faith in the institution.
With Biden he actually made promises on policy, granted he didn't do much of the stuff people wanted, like student debt forgiveness, but ge at least talked more about policy. And this isn't even to mention Kamala wasn't well liked to begin with, she lost the dem primary in 2020.
Stop giving dems a pass for running shit campaigns that cause them to lose to Republicans, dems just did what they always do best, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Just like with Hillary, she didnt lose cause she was a woman, she lost cause she was s terrible candidate.
Thank you! I mean, I don’t doubt there were some misogynists refusing to vote for women, but to imply that multiple millions didn’t vote at all just because of the female-hood of Clinton and Harris is silly. They were bad candidates who ran losing campaigns.
How many Attorneys General trafficked children across state lines for 5-x, like Matt Gaetz has? I'm glad we won't be adding The Felon(AKA Epstein’s best friend)'s first choice.
Some are upset because liberals seem to be using a contest as an excuse to welcome fascists after gaslighting us for decades into tolerating the hateful psychos long enough for them to organize and find their guy
I still don't believe we lost!!
There are too many discrepancies!!
It's not over until it's over!!
I am not falling into line!
There is hope, and I'm just going to be patient!!
We lost the election. That’s over. Onto the next fight, and the next one, and the next one. Don’t fall in line. But don’t fall into the “the only way we lose is if they cheat” conspiracy trap.
This right here!!! Now the non committed are like oh no we didn’t think; we were protest voting… now you can blame yourselves when Dump Truck sends aid to Israel to help wipe out Gaza, every dead child’s blood is on your hands - you did this with your own foolishness. Looking at you Michigan 🤨
Furthermore, by adopting "ideological purity" you can guarantee that you never have to answer to failures, because your beliefs will never be put in place.
So, you get to say your way is right and everyone who takes productive steps are awful, because of any issue when they actually change things.
I’m from the UK it’s not a comment on which way you voted and it’s exactly the same in the UK both major parties back Israel.
It just jarred me that people thought their humanity had been lost at the ballot box and not prior.
I get this, but I would actually vouch for less 'ideological purity' from the left. The problem being posted is to the dem party itself.
The message being - how hard are Dems trying? Clearly many Americans felt they might as well vote GOP if they're getting weak bandaids from Dems as well.
I agree with her statement, but I'm guessing that it's actually just a proxy statement to excuse not taking productive action, because it's easier to sit on the sidelines and complain about people who are trying.
I did not like losing to the Republicans at other times but afterward I went on and never thought any more about it because I realized you win and you lose but when Trump won in 2016, I was sick for a week and scared he would take my health care and Social Security. No, I am not mad because we lost!
The narrowmindness and refusal to reflect on what happened in the comment section is so widespread - I wonder if its the design of social media that magnifies this way of thinking or a cultural phenomina that is new and possibly will go away.
100% when you have a former campaign strategist posting this kind of head in the sand copium and a comment section agreeing with him you know it's so over 😭
The establishment have been selling the American people out, lying to them, breaking their promises to them and losing every battle big and small for DECADES! The system is riddled with corporate cancer at every level now Americans are overstressed, undereducated, sick, terrified and confused
Exactly. Whatever economic, immigration, or political woes the US is suffering from under Biden, I voted for Harris because I know that without Democracy, we won't be able to address these other issues.
We are at a turning point on several axes...political, economic, environmental, energy, education. By all indications America is determined to drive the bus over the cliff, so sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasted.
Because we lost our sense of Justice and common sense.
Because we lost our sense of right, wrong, ideals, freedom, we the people.
I don't know how else to say this. We did loose our humanity.
Thank a christian.
Christians are taught from birth to avoid critical thinking.
Christians steal BILLIONS IN UNPAID TAXES YEARLY to preach hate and politics from the pulpit.
Christians stormed our Capitol and smeared their seditious 💩.
Here's the problem with that meme. In order to have an election come out the way it did, we had to have lost "our humanity" long ago. We taught our children that "winning" is more important than "voting for the right person". Now we are living in the consequence.
Exactly this. This was the first time I ever voted. Cause I knew the dangers of trump coming back. Not mad that we lost but just really disappointed and yes sickened by what happened. I woke up pissed the day after when I found out.
I'm honestly mostly pissed that these buffoons are gonna give Moscow a pass. Biden's coalition has essentialy spent the last 2 years flaying our greatest op
And these retards gloat that there gonna crap it up.
Reagan slashed federal spending to schools.
He also gave incentives to manufactures to move off shore to break the unions and lower wages. The belief was ignorant financially insecure masses were easier to control through fear & hate. It worked.
A huge problem. He loves the uneducated (at election time) and they love him. He appeals to their basest instincts; and his lack of intellect allows him reach them because they’re at the same level.
They are not interested in policies. Politics has become a mere game. One team v another. The stupid people have decided to start playing and took over. Policy wonks are gone. We are effed.
Maybe. But I’m not going down without a fight. I am writing my local reps and senators to block bills that are harmful to the vulnerable or our planet.
I’m not sure your President’s support for the genocidal attacks on Palestinian people is a great recommendation for your nation’s “humanity”. The same is true, of course, for our nation here in 🇬🇧.
#CeasfireInGazaNOW
I'm more upset We're accepting the interfered w/ results of a shady af election!
🤨
You're telling me a KNOWN cheater did NOT cheat this time?? When it matters most?
Puuhhhhleezz
We DESERVE to know a fair election, trust future elections. If We don't, we won't have any more #revote
There’s no credible evidence the electoral process was rigged in 2024. If there was, the entire pro Democracy movement would be all over it.
The shady part was Fox/Twitter lying, the legacy media sane washing Trump. It’s a huge problem but not a basis for overturn the results of the election.
No one is going to change the results of the election; and no one is coming to save us. So, we have to be ready to fight at the midterms and in 2028; and be prepared for the fact MAGA fights dirty. Sad but true.
Bro changing the results? I want an accurate and fair election that we are guaranteed per the constitution. If he won, fine we fight. but we won't know because the numbers don't add up. Sky link tallied only swing states. Musk said our machines are easy to hack.
He's had access to the voting machine since '18 ChatGPT says winning all five swing states are a statistical impossibility. Bullet ballots in the swing states were 30% higher than normal. Millions of ballots voted blue down ballot except him. Burned ballots/bomb threats/Russia actually admitting it
There. Won't. Be. Midterms.
Don't you understand, once he is in office he is going to dismantle the constitution. There won't be midterms or any more elections if we don't fix this one. I don't need your obtuse views if you're not in full know of what's going on. Either help or gtfootw
You go ahead and think that👍
I refuse to
We the fucking people demand & will get a new election or this country is done.
We become an arm of Russia if he is sworn in. Period. let's not be stupid, no more elections & we will be paying for Putin's wars, but yeah go ahead and lay down😡
Our nation lost its humanity when it openly funded and armed a genocide of innocent men, women and children. There is nothing virtuous about the democrat party. All credibility has been lost (and no, I’m not a trumper)
It makes no difference how you see it - it’s genocide live-streamed on our phones and it’s wrong. I didn’t vote for either genocidal candidate and never will vote for the duopoly again.
For a while now people who are bigots, racists, sexists have felt pressure to hide it. So it is easy to forget how many people still hold those values. I think a lot of people are disgusted with other Americans being so open and blatant about their hate.
This is exactly what scares me!!! What has happened to America when they elect a sexual predator, felon and narcissistic, vindictive crook as President? 😡
The nation as a whole did not, but when over half the nation doesn’t see the importance of their vote, it is disheartening. Their utter lack of concern and the consequences there of will cost future generations dearly.
half? hmm, not really but maybe worse, it seems less than 1/3 voted for trump, more than 1/3 (~36%) just did not vote (!!) .. i find that horribly disheartening.
I really recommend you listen to non / trump voters. From my conversations so far, people are overwhelmed, confused by just so much contrary info while ethical / moral values and principles waver - fascism/authoritarianism gives relief with simple answers of what to think and what to do.
There are no simple answers. There is no easy way out of this one. I do know that when they start realizing who Trump is we will need to reconnect, but they aren’t there yet.
I don't, it tells me that dems have failed in their own job. To represent people. Dems like republicans have abandoned people to serve the wealthy donor class and more folks have finally realislzed that dems and republicans are just two sides of the same coin.
your education has failed you if you think it was THIS election where we 'lost our humanity'. There has been zero humanity in American politics for the better part of a century, especially the last fifty. everything in our political system is corrupted, staged, and plastic
Yes politics is corrupt. And yes people in general aren't that great. But a lot of people felt like the majority of our country was moving forward away from racism and sexism. But clearly that isn't true. Now we see that they were just hiding it till someone gave them the green light to let it out.
im not talking about racism or sexism, thats a whole different bowl of shit. when i hear 'loss of humanity' in politics i think of it as in real problems faced by average people, addressed by real people, who rightfully earned their power rather than who could afford it
No, it's not just an election. My family have been GOP all my life. I dealt with Reagan, GHWB, and Dubya. But things have changed. Sadly, it has shown me who some people truly are. The the hatred and malignancy of todays GOP has got to be crushed before they ruin this country for good.
Seriously. If you just got here and are exploring, check out the feeds tab. Lots to see there. Excellent Bluesky feature. If you want your feed filled with art, science, or just cat pics, you can have it that way.
Not hated. Disappointed I guess. One site polarised one way, the other the opposite way. And calling voters stupid because they view the world differently depresses me. I get it. Losing is awful. I’m on the losing side in the UK. Sadly we just have to suck it up.
They are stupid because they say and believe stupid things that observably aren't true. Because they elected a felon, traitor, pedophile, rapist, serial lying, corrupt conman. And I'm not even exaggerating. We can't ignore politics, because he's going to tear the world apart.
Honestly, I begin to question of some people had even a shred of human decency to begin with. I think that they just used to hide their malice behind political correctness and they don't feel they have to anymore. The KKK taking off the masks.
I agree. They were given permission and approval to reveal themselves. Now it is encouraged and rewarded. Labeled their evil as Christianity. The great upside down has come to our society. How can we get a civil world back? Is it better in parts of Europe?
Yeah, it is truly scary. I'm in Europe now. There isn't the same degree of hate here, it feels like. At least, not from religious people. But there are less religious people in Europe too, so that could be a contributing factor.
Recession before this time next year and a depression in 2 years
our last recession & inflation was blamed on a virus and not economic policy.
The rich today hoard money taking it out of the economy, the poor spend their money on necessities keeping it in the economy, who should get the tax cuts
Just another in a long line of examples about how human we really are, nothing that happened hasn't happened before, Andrew Jackson was basically a proto-trump, and he destroyed the White House during his Inauguration party and was considered one of the most corrupt presidencies in American History

Seriously… ‘the orange Rapist’… we weep for you all!!😢🥺😩

We chose cruelty over empathy and chaos over competence.

Harris: "Two state solution."
ThEY'rE tHe ExACt SAme!
It's a question we must accept and answer for ourselves as a nation as how human we actually are and wish to be.
So, you get to say your way is right and everyone who takes productive steps are awful, because of any issue when they actually change things.
It just jarred me that people thought their humanity had been lost at the ballot box and not prior.
The message being - how hard are Dems trying? Clearly many Americans felt they might as well vote GOP if they're getting weak bandaids from Dems as well.
I think that is what hurt the most, that people closest too me are fine with evil so long as they think they might profit.
Because we lost our sense of right, wrong, ideals, freedom, we the people.
I don't know how else to say this. We did loose our humanity.
Wake up, you've been dreaming in Hollywood Land!!

Biden needs to arrest Trump using immunity power granted by SCOTUS. As judge Sotomayor said, now a president has the power of a king.
And these retards gloat that there gonna crap it up.

What you don’t understand or are unwilling to accept is that there is no “fixing” the 2024 election.
There is only fighting Trump and his henchmen going forward. Every day. On every issue.

Thanks for that weak uninformed feedback 👍
I just think it’s a stretch to say that it’s the lowest thing America did considering Manifest Destiny.
And the biggest supporters of slavery were DEMOCRATS.
And we weren't escaping politics, we were escaping a toxic site that Musk kept making worse and worse.
