Summary
This victory makes Trump the first U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland and the first with a criminal conviction to hold office.
Democrats were shocked by the loss, particularly as exit polls revealed significant shifts among key demographics: Latino men favored Trump by 10 points, and more voters identified as independents or unaffiliated.
The economy was the top priority for Trump supporters, while Harris voters emphasized democracy and abortion rights.
The election also showed increased dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, as 72% of voters expressed anger or frustration.
I gritted my teeth and voted for her but as soon as she started touting the Rubes endorsing her I knew it was over. How fucking hard can it be to just be progressive? Its that fucking simple.
Progressive doesn’t get you anywhere in America
Funny, because it sure got Obama fucking elected. Even though the DNC didn’t support him in '08 and would have preferred the nomination going to Hillary. Even though even he is pretty milquetoast as far as progressives go, his campaign was more successful than anything else the Dems have done in a decade.
A black man offered change and universal healthcare and the U.S. gave him 8 years.
How would you know, we haven’t had a viable progressive party in decades. We’ve only had conservative and diet-conservative. Turns out that’s not a winning move. I don’t even know how we go about fixing the country at this point, but a top to bottom overhaul of the DNC couldn’t possibly hurt.
It sure as hell looks like going the other direction worked /s
Because the country has moved further right than the 90s/early 2000s Republicans
It verifiably hasn’t. Votes for Trump have remained constant for the last 2 elections. He is not gaining supporters, the Democrats are losing supporters.
