    she busted out Maslow's hierarchy of needs

    I know the woke here don't get it , but it's true, you must satisfy basic needs like food and shelter before caring about pronouns

    The biggest lie wasn’t told by Trump
    Joe Biden was never in shape to run for a second term.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/09/big-lie-trump-biden-election/

    excerpt:

    What seems irrefutable is that Democrats — and especially President Joe Biden — handed us another four years of Trump. Biden should never have run for a second term. He indicated he wouldn’t, and then he did. He was already faltering by the end of the first one and everyone knew it. Not only his staff and the Democratic Party leadership but also most sentient Americans.

    Once Biden’s reelection campaign commenced, his age-related deficits and “cognitive irregularities,” to borrow Ezra Klein’s phrasing, became glaringly obvious. By waiting too long to step aside, he created a problem that couldn’t be fixed.

    Back in March, I wrote that Harris should step down from the vice presidency to allow Biden to pick someone more seasoned whom voters could trust to step in if necessary. She was never that person, notwithstanding her enthusiasm and likability. The man with the worst personality in the world won, despite himself, largely because Trump voters felt he could handle the big issues, including foreign wars, more ably than Harris or her knuckleheaded running mate, as Tim Walz once described himself.

    Which brings us to the Democrats’ “big lie” — that Joe Biden was just fine. He was not. Yet he was encouraged to run again. When the party’s big guns (Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama) finally hustled him off the stage, it was too late. Harris barely had a chance to leave the gate before it was over. Despite spending $1.4 billion, she was bound to lose.

    By lying about Biden’s mental acuity and scrambling to turn an unpopular vice president into a hot ticket, Democratic Party leaders left voters dissatisfied with a last resort. How sad for President Biden that his legacy is President Trump.

    I can't believe I forgot the biggest reason.

    Joe Biden.

    Joe Biden is the main reason for a democratic defeat. Kamala wouldn't have gotten a nomination during normal circumstances. The democrats lying about Biden's obvious cognitive decline turned off a lot of people. Those people either went red or stayed home.

    Dems lost because there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the economy and how it works.

    The trend of the past 50 years as been wealth moving into the hands of capital owners and away from workers. You see this in pay disaparity clearly. Yes the narrative has been the actually reason is on overseas competition taking jobs, China namely, immigrants, trade deals, any anything else.

    But in reality, the wealthy have paid themselves more, while gov't has been cutting social benefits - putting the squeeze on people as housing, health care, and education costs skyrocket.

    The solution will never happen, because it would involve higher taxes on the rich, and rules on how non-profits and may other institutions operate.

    in other words, people are too stupid to know what is good for them. this is why we need a strong establishment to decide the candidates they select (Like Kamala Harris who didn't win a single primary).

    Or maybe people really are not that stupid and are tired of the establishment picking deplorables for candidacy.

    Harris is a **** candidate and a complete loser. Moderates have been saying this for years.

    I for one would love every poster on the D&D just get this lazy rhetorically. If everyone trolls each other, then trolling doesn't become edgy and cool. Think of a emo teenager seeing their parents listen and enjoy the same music as them and then believe their emo music isn't cool anymore. I think most of these right wing edge lord trolls like the one i'm quoting here are of the same train of thought.

    So I'll begin:

    Nah ah. You're comment is stupid.
