This will be a post that will piss everyone off, and I welcome it but here it is.
Based on data we are learning, this isn't a blowout Trump win. Numbers don't back it up. Not a landslide. Not a damning referendum.
Harris didn't run a terrible campaign. In fact impressive considering she had 2.5 months and got close in a post pandemic environment where nearly every incumbent got destroyed. She did much better than Biden would've based on internal Dem polls.
Yes, she made mistakes and Dems must improve and Biden made mistakes. All true. But Dems also picked up seats in swing states and won on abortion rights and against school vouchers.
People who had correct facts about economy, crime, immigration, inflation and trans issues overwhelmingly went Harris. Those who didn't? Trump. Her policies when presented blindly to Trump supporters were popular to them.
People are missing the post pandemic reality, the power of racism and identity politics of Trump's campaign, the failures of corporate media and influence of right wing disinformation as major factors.
RIP my mentions.
I firmly believe 80% of the Democratic parties problems could be solved by just being as mean as possible when running campaigns.
Americans like people who talk shit
LIKE I SAID: Sis was gone be fine regardless. She’s got a stellar resume, a rich husband, and she lives in a liberal state. She was tryna help YALL ass. 🤷🏾♀️
@msleen1970@forthecomments1 The truth is though I can change my affiliation but I’m still going to vote with them bc the Republican Party is just fucking evil! And we know what third party voting does. Maybe if we all change affiliation their asses will get the message though.
I really don't GAF anymore. You all feel free to unfollow me, but this is more important:
When Trump lost in 2020, he threw over 60 lawsuits at the courts, bullied secretaries of state, set up fake electors, and plotted January 6th, and walked away from all of it clean, thanks to AG Garland’s inaction.
Now, we’re desperate for leadership, and all we're getting is silence or fortune cookie comments.
Today, Trump outright called to open the floodgates of disinformation, making it practically illegal to call out lies across social media, mainstream news, even our universities.
WHERE ARE YOU? You’re still the .@POTUS and .@VP Harris, yet we’ve heard nothing from you for days. Why the silence now? You have immunity from the Supreme Court. Help us for FS!
You’ve GOT A PLATFORM, so USE IT, show us how to stand against this wave of chaos. We need guidance, unity, and we need to hear from you now. You should be on here every five minutes, helping Americans see what’s at stake and how to organize and push back. Enough of the quiet already.
When all these votes are counted Joe Biden needs to use his emergency powers to force a manual recount of MI, PA, WI, NV, GA, NC, TX, Fl, AZ…. The numbers are simply not adding up. We must demand this. We cannot take no for an answer. Use those powers to try and save democracy.
I’m just curious.. if you were to delete Starlink and go back in time 5 days ago, would Trump have won so quickly?
I feel like we are all being played as fools.
They got away with this shit.
