Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    We live in different worlds because I think her focus was on abortion and saving democracy. Border is both center and right imo, you’d be amazed.

    Foreign policy is an example of how no one cares about Gaza or Ukraine (or NATO), which are what the left cares about. The left didn’t show up. Yes the Gaza situation is fucked, but the difference between Harris and Trump are stark and vast.

      The difference is in who they will fuck over so we can stay greedy and entitled. Democrats fuck over poor people, republicans fuck over minorities and immigrants. Both groups fuck over the rest of the world.

      The left would vote for the “won’t fuck anyone over” party if there was one.

          Most states with significant left populations already have abortion protected by law. See we do organize during the off years.

      And you think making that difference narrower would have improved Harris’ chances?

          As though there exists any policy you won’t advocate moving right on.

            Ah was it you that insists on calling me anyone who doesn’t agree with you an enlightened centrist? Still having fun with your strawman I see lol.

                Wasn’t it you that does it in a mocking sense. Either way you can take out that word and your strawman remains.

                    See that was a legit question. But your strawman was a definitive statement that you literally made up about me.

                    And of course, your strawman remains.
