Dump Trump

Supporting Democrats across the country until Trumpism is gone from the United States. Voting for a potted plant with googly eyes over Trump.

@OKnox Wasn’t that anger justified? Judith Miller was a fiasco the Times never reckoned with and they still rely almost exclusively on access journalism

From @TNLookout — Black students at schools like Nashville HBCU Fisk are getting racist texts telling them to report to vans to be transported to plantations to pick cotton. Hate emboldened.

He won. Justice lost.

The first step to creating a left-wing media ecosystem once Trump is sworn in is to constantly post photos of a shopping cart with eggs, milk, and a pound of pure saffron and go "this costs $500 in Trump's economy."

Like I said before, Project 2025 is the blueprint from Trump presidency.

Look, I know this is inconvenient for all of your little factional squabbles, but the fact remains that the Harris campaign did a lot of what *both* centrists *and* leftists wanted. It's not above-board to pretend not to know this.

This shit wild, cause they gave Trump credit for Obama’s economy then blamed Biden for Trump bad economy & ultimately won because of it

MIssouri voters voting for abortion rights, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid sick leave, and a senator and a president who strongly oppose these things is where we are in a nutshell

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

Lots of MSM media claims about "record turnout." Huh? In 2020, there were 155M total votes (Biden 81M, Trump 74M). In 2024 there were 139M total votes. (Harris 67M, Trump 72M). That's 16M FEWER votes this election (and no pandemic.) Anybody able to explain?

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

I think it's tempting to think of this election as if everyone was working from the same information and the country just made a very dark choice. How could all these women vote for someone who hates women? How could all these latino men vote for someone who hates latino men? Et. Cetera.

But the data doesn't really support this. Everywhere (except the Dakotas) that abortion rights were on the ballot, it won a majority. Which means there were people who voted for Trump (who took away abortion rights) while voting highly in favor of abortion rights.

Same with the economy. There are people (most Trump voters!) who say the economy was the biggest issue. Yet, Biden built the best economy in the world and endless economists agree Trump's policies (such as one can discern them) would crash the economy.

Finally, no, latino men are not voting for their own deportation. They're just not. There's something more complicated going on.

In all of these cases, PROPAGANDA WON. Trump said he would protect women (he won't). Republicans said they would build a better economy (they won't). Et cetera.

So this gets to the heart of the matter: the issue is the INFORMATION. By large majorities, voters are pro-choice, they are pro-Bidenomics and anti-deporting millions of people. Poll after poll said this and statewide measure results confirm it. Yet the anti-choice, anti-Bidenomics, pro-deporting millions of people candidate won.

The only logical conclusion one is left with is that we are simply not reaching voters with the information they need to vote their interests.

Some of this is no doubt the right-wing media propaganda machine. Some of it is that we have always been bad at messaging these voters.

And if there's some soul searching we should earnestly do in the coming months, it can't just be doomsday, "America hates women! America wants inflation!" stuff, tempting as it may be.

And instead, to start asking the question which can turn the tide, which is: How do we COUNTERACT the right-wing media propaganda machine? How do we reach voters who care about Democratic priorities and basic American values with messaging that speaks to them?

That is a question with an answer. That is an answer which change the direction of the country.

[Dan Froomkin (PressWatchers.org) @froomkin]

The mainstream media never gave Biden credit for anything. Tell me that wasn’t a major factor.

Donald Trump got 74 million votes in 2020 and lost the EC decisively. All the votes this year haven't been counted yet but right now he has 71 million and is poised to win the EC decisively.

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

I hope in the coming days someone is able to explain how we had record turnout but 18M fewer votes than 2020. Both of those things can’t be true.

the fundamental problem Democrats have is that while the right has an entire media ecosystem built to bash Democrats the left also has an entire media ecosystem…built to bash Democrats
