    i didn't vote for him, but i think this article in the times is a good representation of where democrats went wrong:

    Harris lost because she is the Vice President post COVID when inflation far outstripped increased wages. That is why she lost - and it is also why I said back in 2020 - that inflation and economic insecurity was coming, and 2024 was going to be an unwinnable situation for whoever had the White House.

    It really is that simple - that is how America has voted as long as everyone in the USA today has been alive.

    So fan boys on both sides can go on about how the USA has soundly rejected leftists or how the USA has turned into a bunch of Nazi's --- it is all stupid.... the reality is that people just were not happy seeing their buying power diminish, and those in power pay the price.

    The thing is you don't have to vote Trump to make that point. To the people I speak.

    We heard you....

    4 years of Maga is not healthy.

    Dude is going to avoid jail.

    The Americans would vote for Side show Bob if he promised the goods.

    And that is irrational but normal to them.

    So yes, either Trump suceeds or he fails, he raised the standards...to incredible heights for himself his Maga Highness.

    It's definitely true.

    • You posted social media of someone criticizing Tim Walz for bowing down to non whites.
    • You posted endless crap about Paul Pelosi and his gay hammer lover
    • You posted several things about Haitians eating pets and even tried to being Haitian witchdoctors into it.

    Sigh. The fork of human civilization. But yes I know the techno-fascists won and they want a monarchy with, you guessed it, a tech CEO at the helm, because they are complete idiots.

    I just realized this guy is the president of El Salvador. His twitter profile says "Philosopher King". For those that don't know Plato had the dumb ass idea that a philosopher king (a monarchy) was the ideal form of government. Now I'm wondering how far the rabbit hole goes. Was Bukele funded by Musk and Thiel as a trial run. And of course Bukele is libertarian crypto-bro. God damn Thiel and Musk are basically bond villains.

    I would never use the phrase "sex you were assigned at birth" because that is a dumbass statement that has no basis in fact. You are not "assigned" sex at birth, you are born a male or a female. The delusional nonsense needs to stop.

    A biologist would know of various areas where chromosomes could be hermaphroditic. I don't just mean genitalia. Hair for instanc. I only mention it because you mentioned asking a biologist earlier. Seriously, ask someone with a PhD in biology about it.

    I'm just referencing what you posted. I also mentioned that the infitada has absolutely used violence.

    I just pointed out that it also used non-violent methods as well.

    People can see what you post. Why would you hide from it?

    Yes, please lecture me regarding a medical rarity and apply it to all births. Sex isn't assigned at birth pal, accept it. Americans at large are tired of this bs....Join reality or keep playing make believe and keep losing landslide elections.

    The worst part is this guy (and the ones like him) actually think THEY are the smart ones.

    Come on now.
    This is like DaDakota branding 74 million people "racists". So 67 million people are "morally rotten"?
    This labeling people with one broad stroke needs to stop. Unfortunately it won't.

    Yeah i mean it really is more simple than people are making it out to be just because EVERYONE wants to have their own post modem segment on MSNBC or CNN or whatever.

    The facts are AROUND THE WORLD incumbents are getting killed in elections because of the same post covid economic issues.

    That being said, as I've alluded to before, there is a cultural dynamic here in the US and globally as well that led to Trump gaining popularity with certain demographics due to his ability to be present in cultural aspects (IE UFC, NASCAR races, Church Picnics, etc.), and "THE DEMOCRATS" were really just identified as a useful projected enemy for all of these things culturally that there was a backlash to. Everyone loves to call it "Wokeism" and point fingers at the Democrats as if they had anything to do with it which in reality they didn't.

    The fact is "wokeism" comes from young people mostly. My wife teaches high school... she sees it everyday that young kids love to do pretty woke crap that scares the crap out of older people, and insecure young men. The perfect is example of this is Chappel Roan who is like the personification of "woke" right now, but actively hates the Democratic Party too. So the Democratic Party really is just the punching bag for all sides of the culture we are in, and has to absorb the problems that are created culturally that they had little to do with except for reactionarily having old people answers to, or non-answers because they didn't want to offend anyone.

    ...

    But yeah in the end "Its the Economy Stupid" still pertains, and Kamala lost because she was constrained by the Biden Administration being an incumbent coming out of the Covid years. That was issue A, and Issue B is the overall culture of America which has little to do with the actual Democratic Party, but they are the punching bag for on all sides.

    Thinking more about it, it's pretty amazing she didn't do worse. Probably because Trump is just that bad of a candidate on the trail, and at this point in his life can't put two sentences together. If this was 2016 Trump we'd be looking at a Reagan type of election result.

    I mean the far leftists - not all Democrats. I mean the AOCs, Rashida Tlaibs, @FranchiseBlade, @fchowd0311, @Xopher, @glynch, @SamFisher types.

    Not the Ritchie Torres and Fetterman and regular common sense Democrat types.

    Thanks for reminding me to clarify. I also added FAR to my original post. In the future, when I refer to leftists, I mean far leftists. Not Democrats in general. Very different from @DaDakota calling pretty much all Republicans racists.

    Is it because we don't link embedded tweets enough to your liking? Is that what you have against us? Tell me sir how many embedded tweets I must spam daily to be a moral person.

    Americans at large who are tired of this are tired of their social media algorithm feeds making them addicts to the feed consuming them with hate. They aren't actually tired of trans people. The will power and IQ is lacking of those who are more susceptible to social media algorithmic brainwashing maybe don't have the ability to self reflect and understand their hatred is stemmed from their algorithmic feed overloading then with spammed information to where they have memorized every transgender swimmer that ever attended a female swim meet in human civilization history.


    Sucks so much hatred for trans people is just a product of people and their lower cognitive abilities not understanding the effects of their doom scrolling.

    Sorry if this sounds patronizing to people with low IQ who get their information of how the world works through their Twitter feed. I don't want to make people like you feel patronized. Having lower IQ doesn't make you a worse person. It just means you need to be more vigilant about being brainwashed.
