Gas was closer to $3 a gallon compared to $4 like it is now. Groceries significantly cheaper. I’m spending $400-$500 more a month on gas & groceries than I did in 2019. That’s less money I have to spend on other things that boost the economy & support local businesses.

He might win the blue wall!
Something was very wrong with the message!

 

[BigGameDamian]

It’s going to be a WCW/WWE like GOP now.

 

[wizenheimer]

doing the math, it looks like Harris will be the 2nd Democratic candidate since 1992 to lose the popular vote

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

Hillary was intelligent and well spoken and she lost the electoral college 306-232

She was going against Trump when most didn't know how despicable he was.

Both Hillary and Trump came off as blow-hard jerks. I refused to vote for either of them.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

At least he can't run again

He can run as vice president and then the shill running as president resigns on Jan 7th.

He'll be 82 at that point but I'd be shocked if he just walks away in 4 years.

Need better candidates

Though the Republicans have the shittiest candidate who ever ran and he won so there is that.

I think it's going to take a seriously charismatic and inspiring woman to get elected. Obama, for all his faults, was just a fantastic candidate. That's not Hillary or Harris. They're too polarizing. This was not the time to roll the dice. They didn't want to be seen as racist or misogynistic by passing over her, and it was their undoing.

She was one of the worst Dem candidates in 2020...

No he can't.

I'm mildly surprised at the election result but I never predict them...I hope for results but I've rarely seen my candidate win the presidency. Harris did much worse than I thought she would. A black woman from California will have a tough time winning a presidency under most circumstances but Harris also lost the popular vote...it's a sad day in American history.The fact that a convicted felon, compulsive liar and sexual predator could win this election tells me America is not so great right now. It's hard to trust the judgement of the people when integrity is no longer a factor in choosing leaders.

Exactly. Candidate quality is not the issue, unless you want to say the problem was too much quality.

Voter quality is the issue. Nothing that can be done about that, unfortunately, in fact it will now get much worse.

You can post all the skewed charts you want. People are out there trying to live their lives and tonight they voted according to that. Donald Trump didn’t hypnotize anyone, he’s not that charismatic. Democrats are simply fucking awful. Your party is dogshit and no chart will change that.

And, he's not going to help them. They fucked themselves.

The right wing media machine is the problem. Those people know only the bullshit Fox News tells them.

I’ve seen it first hand with relatives.

 

[robson]

You lost because of avengers zoom call This was the worst campaign ever by Democrats.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

It's odd how nationally 30 years ago the less educated lower paid unskilled workers were all Democrats and now the parties have basically flipped.

 

[Phatguysrule]

bullshit.

Sanders would have lost all three of Mich-Penn-Wisc. He would have lost Georgia and Nevada and Arizona. And he would have probably lost Virginia.

I think Sanders would have beaten Trump. He would have run circles around him in the debates.

Sanders got the crowds at Fox town halls to take his side against the hosts. That was incredible.

 

[Chris Craig]

It's odd how nationally 30 years ago the less educated lower paid unskilled workers were all Democrats and now the parties have basically flipped.

Especially, when you take into account the Republican party doesn't represent them at all.

 

[jonnyboy]

The right wing media machine is the problem

Just stop. The democratic establishment enjoys favorable coverage from 80% of news outlets. To even suggest that media coverage is the problem is ridiculous. Your party just sucks and is out of touch. It really is that simple.

It’s actually impressive to control such a large portion of the propaganda machine and still get swept this badly.

Wow, for a guy who got what he wanted tonight, you sure seem angry. Shouldn't you be out celebrating?

RFK Jr would have beaten Trump, Tulsi Gabbard would have beaten Trump, if the DNC got behind either one. But the Demorats expelled them from their party, and persecuted them into the arms of Trump.

They weren't expelled. They chose to leave when nobody voted for them. Nobody voted for them because they suck.
If they wanted to be Republicans and to beat Trump, they should have run in the Republican primaries.

“A black person said this quote from a black person, i promise. Not me, a white liberal did not say this. The color of his skin, i mean my skin, is important to the context of this thought”

Keith Olbermann is going completely off the rails on some Russia shit right now.

Some very good points were made.

I’ll never understand how Trump gets away with stuff that would be political suicide for anyone else.

The racial part of it is only a small part of the point.

All of the big news organizations are owned by billionaires and large corporations.

They are pushing Democrats that people won't support.

Then why start the entire thought with it? And no, no good points were made. It’s just more racist, divisive shit and white liberals trying to find any way they can to place themselves in a higher regard than others, ironically at
the expense of minorities. So fake.
