Here’s some insight into the average voter that really makes this all make so much more sense..

“Here are some context words before I write what I write: I voted for Harris. However, I don't mind the fact that Trump got elected, and I would've voted for any other Republican candidate. I know many of my friends and family would have done the same, and many did vote for Trump. PLEASE before you (or anyone reading this) have an emotional reaction to what I write, it's just how people's sentiments have changed and disregarding them and sticking your heads in the sand is exactly how Harris is getting blown out in the first place.

First, the Democratic platform just doesn't speak to me or anyone that I know. Sure, abortion is a hot topic issue, but it's just one issue and none of us are single-issue voters. Personally, it feels like Democrats want to just have everyone be in a "feel-good" state by just saying what they think voters want to hear, regarding equality, DEI, immigration, etc etc etc. You can think I'm a monster for saying this, but the fact is that many people agree that we can focus on ourselves before all these extra factors. Sure, of course I care about the wellbeing of a migrant family trying to smuggle themselves into the US and want them to be humanely treated, but how about my local struggling families? Why do they matter more or less? And if I had to choose, I would choose my already American neighbors and friends. And the fact is that we do in fact have to choose, money and attention isnt infinite. That's just ONE example of a hot topic (immigration) that I feel like Democrats are just going at from a completely wrong angle.

Second, it feels like the Democrats focus hard on tiny minorities of populations at the expense of attention of all the others. Just for one example, trans right. Now note that I'm not saying trans people don't deserve rights, but the way that they put these sorts of issues SO in your face and broadcasted when trans people literally make up less than half a percentage point of America is baffling. Why so much attention? To people voting for trump, they feel like they (rightfully, as they are not trans) it doesn't involve them, and thus all this attention and time, as these are zero-sum, are taking away from things that could help benefit them, AKA the majority of the US. Why should pandering to the small minority be what's the focus? Just from a math standpoint, it doesn't make sense for votes.

I could go on and on and on, but trump voters are not these monsters are rape lovers that many people think they are. And if anyone thinks so and wants to keep being blind to how terribly the democratic message speaks to average americans, then keep being surprised at the polls. Democrats lost the Senate, Presidency, and look to lose the house as well. Ask yourself, is it really everyone else that is going batshit? Some of the policies that are being pushed and asked about really are just too radical to be wanted by the majority of americans outside the bubble that is Reddit, and until many people here are willing to see that, these elections will continue to look like this.”

this person sounds like a complete dumbass and they should jump off a bridge

imagine thinking electing a rich guy who notoriously fucks over workers is going to help your struggling neighbors

dumbshit fucking morons in this country

[𝖒𝖊𝖔𝖜𝖋𝖚𝖓𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓]

"democrats have shoved trans issues in my face" democrats are cowards and haven't taken any stance or suggested any policy about trans issues. the people making a big deal out of such a small percentage of the population is the ghouls that won.

these people are idiots and i hope they all die.

They also seemed to be against the idea of public education, social welfare, and universal healthcare. You know, many things that would maybe help their “American” neighbors.

She ran a horrible campaign. Zero enthusiasm on the ground for her, I’m still mad the people didn’t get to pick the nominee and I think she never would have won the primaries in a straight up race. How stupid is the DNC?

If she had gone anti war/genocide it would have been a landslide victory. Running as a status quo centrist is not the way forward.

Who is the future of the party? Shapiro? AOC? Newspme?

Kamala’s campaign was fine. Country is just hard-rocking as fuck beyond repair.

What’s the takeaway? Dems are some of the dumbest people on earth? Kamala was a dog shit candidate? That the average American is as dumb and racist, or even more so than we thought? 🤔

I'll be interested to see the data but I think there's really no point in speculating wildly. Trump and his surrogates were able to convince people the economy was bad, and a lot of times that's all it takes. I think women, young people, black people, and brown people as well as young men in some of those categories skew more towards Trump than people realize. There is a real sickness among young men and a lot of young people that I think unless you're in the manosphere youre just not seeing it.

I can tell you exactly what this is: 
1. The Dems lost the muslim and the real left vote with their Palestine policy. There are 4.5 million muslims in the US, obvs not all voting age but still. And yes, not a lot of them voted for Trump but also noone i know that cared about Palestine really voted for her as we see them as the same.
2. America was never ever going to let their first female president be not white. Having her as a candidate was dumb on the democrats part.

[𝖒𝖊𝖔𝖜𝖋𝖚𝖓𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓]

just heard "i need to learn to love people i disagree with" on msnbc. why? those people want you dead

fucking morons

[internetbully]

Pinning this on anyone except the selfish fuckin cunts that voted for Trump and enabled his bullshit either through their action or inaction is just brain damage.

Kamala had flaws as a candidate or whatever, sure, but you gotta be dumber than shit to vote for Trump.

[burp]

whoever runs next just has to remember to treat the voting public not like rational actors with well informed apinions, but as the buckets of slop they are.

Kamala was just not hard-rocking enough to be electable in this country unfortunately.

That she ran a bad campaign is objectively true, she is losing the popular vote, it's a landslide. I have no idea what she should have done differently I'm just some idiot that can't sleep. As it stands it looks like Trump will get less total votes than 2020 and still win handily. I did not see a loss this bad coming and can barely believe it. 

The anti war thing is just my apinion, but I believe it. Stopping genocide is a good position, especially one we're actively funding.

I really don't think that this election was decided by people protesting through not voting blue by any means, but I'm curious if anyone who wen't that way here wakes up feeling good today. Did you just ignore the fact that most of the top brass in Israel wanted Trump re-elected and what that implies? Ah, well. We clearly live in a dark age of critical thinking as evidenced by that ass-kicking last night and it isn't exclusive to either side.

I dont think the problem is that people that voted for him. I think the problem is that people either didnt vote or voted for Jill Stein. 

I get that if they voted for JS it was a lost vote, but if i was there (and yes, i know i am not), i wouldnt have voted for her or Trump.

70mil+ adults voted for a career criminal rapist who more than likely shits in his pants. How is that not the problem

[djilo91]

This was how i felt the election was going to go right after he got shot. Not close.

Yet again the bullshit polls were way off. She got blown out. Going to end up with millions of less votes than Biden.

He has consistently had this many votes (he had 74m in 2020) so this is nothing new.. Racism and conservatism in the US is also nothing new.

Its just Biden had more because people wanted him out. 

Now people dont care enough to vote for Harris. THATS the problem.

You could've given Kamala all of the third party votes and she wouldn't have won anywhere that she needed it.

[internetbully]

I do agree it takes some galaxy brain level dumb to vote your conscience by not voting so that a guy who hates Arabs but is so pro Israel the KKK wouldn’t endorse him wins the election

But then voting for the woman who also hates arabs and has actively been selling weapons that have killed over 100,000 arabs (the majority women and childen) is not galaxy brain level dumb because you see Trump as worse whereas we see him as the same?

GOTCHA.

The reason people vote third party is because they have the right to. Regardless if it's a "wasted vote"
Which is stupid to say. It's your right to.
