@Halcyon270 @nytimes Anyone who has listened to The NY Times podcast knows they were actively courting this outcome

@will_doran Global anti-incumbency trend

@mattduss Biden, famously a tacking right politician

@KaoticLeftist I know no one will like to hear this right now, but we need to let them legislate and focus on building small community to protect and inoculate. They must be allowed to do what they want so the American people can learn they are bad things.

@ArmandDoma One of the reasons she lost is that she coded as too progressive!

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@brianonhere The liberals believe in fixing their material reality too. The Biden campaign was obssessed with it.

Another interpretation of this is that it’s a repudiation of economic populism for social populism.

@whstancil Yeah it’s extremely dumb. This is our Brexit moment.

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@NickyFrank30 @reina_amarillo @Srirachachau And I’m pretty sure she won the 65+ vote, certainly did better than Biden.

@JStein_WaPo The media deeply failed the American people on this front.

@JalonzoSCT @admcrlsn Race depolarization is the reducing in partisanship along racial lines. Rather than being whites vs. everyone else, you’d see more overlap.

That’s true. Trump made gains with almost every group and shifted Latinos a truly unbelievable amount: maybe 25 points when all is done.

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@kacesq @admcrlsn Precisely. That for Dems to win it would need to be a low turnout election.

@atljordyy @Monaistired @LingoUnbound Latinos didn’t shift to Trump 31 points because of Palestine.

She lost because the country has moved deeply rightward, ESPECIALLY on immigration. Brexit is here.

@doctor_cabral Latinos shifted to Trump 31 points. If anything, the analysis is the exact opposite of what you are saying here.

This exit poll data is wild:

White men, white women, Black men, Black women, Latina women ALL tracking their 2020 numbers very closely.

Latino men, 2020: Biden 59%, Trump 36%
Latino men, 2024: Harris 45%, Trump 53%

A HUGE shift from D+23 to R+8

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@atljordyy @Monaistired @LingoUnbound There is no “very solid voter base” of any type that would have overcome Latinos shifting right 31 points in a single cycle. And in the days to come, we’ll learn their top issues were, big surprise here, inflation and anti-immigration sentiment.

@nkulw They lost because Latinos shifted 10+ points to Trump and way more young men than expected voted.

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@atljordyy @Monaistired @LingoUnbound This simply is not an issue where a bunch of democratic voters stayed home. A bunch showed up and they voted for Trump. Latinos in particular delivered this election to Trump.

@AntifaScoundrel @Monaistired @LingoUnbound Wait…were you counting 8 year olds in your calculation???

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@AntifaScoundrel @Monaistired @LingoUnbound What’s pedantic about it? Unless you’re counting 8 year olds in your “half of the country doesn’t even vote for president” figure then you’re just wrong.

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@atljordyy @Monaistired @LingoUnbound I don’t know how to tell you this, but this wasn’t a low turnout election. This will be the highest turnout in American history.

But enough wanted far-right change.

We will need to reckon with that through honesty.

[Ross Simons 📸 @RossTheBoss617]

@AntifaScoundrel @Monaistired @LingoUnbound Quite a bit more than 50% of the voting age population votes
