This election result isn't about Dem messaging.
Their messaging during the campaign was pitch-perfect in any other iteration of America. It was about helping the middle class, lowering taxes for the average American, continuing with sound economic policies to cut rising grocery prices, preserving democracy, taxing the wealthy, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity, opportunity.
This election result isn’t about policy or platform, it’s about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and a Right-wing media machine that caters to those realities.
There is no messaging strategy that can overcome deeply-held prejudice and rising ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for someone like Donald Trump even being the nominee, let alone getting 76 million votes.

2. They knew who they were voting for. They knew he’s a felon. They knew he’s an adjudicated rapist. They knew he grabbed women by the pussy. They knew all these things, and they voted for him anyway, less in spite of what they knew, more so because of it.
@mattsheffield 17. Voters who knew the facts voted for Harris. Voters who believed lies voted for Trump. That is the new fault line in American politics.
I know many of you are feeling exhausted and hopeless. Don’t give up.
Trump is a bumbling, aging wannabe dictator — an obese version of the tyrants our ancestors beat in past generations.
It’ll take time, but we will defeat him and reclaim our country for our posterity.
If you voted for Trump that tells me:
you are racist
you are a misogynist
you are ignorant
you are greedy
you are selfish
you are amoral
you are completely lacking in empathy
you are absolutely terrible judge of character
Jimmy Kimmel: "It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don't realize it yet."
We’ve tried telling them… we’ve offered TWO EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN that would have VASTLY IMPROVED people’s lives and yet they chose the LESS THAN MEDIOCRE unqualified and dangerous man both times??!!!!
President Biden should resign as an act of protest tomorrow so Kamala Harris could be sworn in as the first female president until January.
That would make Trump 48 and ruin that stupid hat of his.
Can we get this trending.
I don’t believe in conspiracies or “stop the steal”… but it seems STRANGE that @vp would get 15 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020?
FIFTEEN MILLION???
Thank you, Tennessee.
Our journey does not stop here. Our fight for a better Tennessee continues.
Together, I know we'll continue to fight for this state we call home.
