    Yeah, Democrats stole house race, just not enough to win it and let trump win.

    I fucking hate this victim playing shit they do: “We either win, or you cheated”

      they “won”, and given how much projection there was about election and voter fraud for years… i’m guessing there was, just not from the side they were implying was doing it.

      For real, if they are so good at cheating and stealing elections why did they fumble the ball so hard this time? They stole just one very close House race and not, like, the entire thing? Pathetic. I’m disappointed Democrats.

        It’s brilliant frankly, you’ve rigged the system but you don’t want Republicans to know, so you just give them the House, the Senate, and the White House to lure them into a false sense of security. A flawless plan, they’ll never see the next step coming: being helpless to stop the unfolding erosion of civil liberties and public health and safety.

        Compared to Trump they certainly did. I would be the first to tell you they fucked up, but I mean, Trump still doesn’t seem to understand tariffs.

          He understands just fine. He wants to replace the taxes that he doesn’t pay with tariffs. A tax on poor people.

          The tariffs will also crash the economy, letting Trump and Musk buy up large parts of the country for pennies on the dollar.

            Maybe he does! But has he ever acknowledged the fact that consumers pay the cost publicly? He always acts like he’s making other countries pay.

            Of course he could just be lying for manipulative purposes, it would be very on brand. But what makes you think so in this case specifically?

              He’s tried tariffs before, and had the entire Republican party tell him how shit an idea they are.

              But he might not believe them. He is pretty stupid and stubborn.

              But I’m thinking he wants to crash the economy to buy everything at pennies on the dollar.

              It’s a silly thing to focus on to a lot of people though, because the vast majority of people who the Democrats were supposed to be talking to weren’t ever considering voting for Trump. Of course I say supposed to because in actuality you’re right they were trying to appeal to Trump voters, and they failed again spectacularly as they usually do when they try to appeal to Republicans. However for the rest of us it’s a moot point. They don’t want to be told it’s good compared to trump, because that was never an option. So saying their plan was better than Trump is like saying shooting yourself in the foot is better than shooting yourself in the head. That’s not going to motivate people who would just prefer not to be shot at all.

              Like I said, anyone who cares about that was going to vote Harris either way. The people who didn’t show up are the people who didn’t care about that comparison, or at least didn’t care enough to go vote. Harris failed to appeal to these people in part because independently of Trump she didn’t have coherent policy leading up to the election.

          When you keep walking back on your promises two months before the election that’s called not having coherent policy. Running on saving democracy is not having coherent policy. “There’s not a thing that comes to mind” is not coherent policy. The only policies she stuck to until election day were the insane border wall and watered down Biden campaign promises.

    During the election I found myself rooting for Trump once it became ~15% for Harris. The collective brain rot on the right has an extreme aversion to understanding statistics. They literally would not be able to comprehend that it’s possible for a coin to land on heads 3 times in a row.
