this thread is full of people placing blame on everyone except the people who actually voted for trump. face the facts: the democrats could have put caucasian jesus on the ticket and trump would still have won.

        1. Tim Walz.

        That’s about it. Looks like I only needed one finger. Dang.

            and as awful as trump is, he wasn’t even the worst part of his campaign or his administration. Metaphorically speaking, America voted a rabid feral jackal, but what’s really gonna fuck us are the fleas hiding in its mangy, matted, filthy coat and the parasites teeming in its guts.

            Frankly, that wouldn’t have been a mistake if it had been Bernie.

              It still would be a mistake and would prevent some people from voting for him, but Bernie would at least compensate for it by actually supporting popular policies instead of the opposite and have some energy.

          A lot of people out there disagreeing with this, saying Josh Shapiro (PA Governor) would have been a better choice, and helped lock down PA.

            She would have lost Michigan and Wisconsin by even larger margins if she went with Shapiro instead of Walz.

          There’s a pretty good argument this too was a mistake given what happened in PA. At least one swing state might have been saved…

        “I have a secret plan to defeat trump in 100 days” - everyone on the internet

        y’all need to face the facts that the democrats could have ran a white jesus christ and it wouldnt have moved the needle

      the first mistake: they tried to run against a fascist bigot (america loves voting for these)

      the second mistake: something so minor and inconsequential that it would gained .001% more votes (lefties will debate what this was forever)

        It’s actually closer to 16% and I would definitely not call it inconsequential given that Trump won this election with several million votes less than he got in 2020 when he lost.

            I’m not sure what you mean by that or how it relates to what I said at all.

                I’m not sure what you’re on about and I don’t think anyone else does either.
