Summary
Despite Trump’s criminal record, serial lying, and racist demagoguery, he won the 2024 US presidential election, reflecting America’s deep-seated anxieties and cultural divisions.
Trump’s celebrity persona, economic populism, and culture warrior appeals resonated with his base, while Kamala Harris faced challenges in defining herself and overcoming gender and racial biases.
The election underscores the decay of American democracy, raising concerns about the future of the nation.
Absolutely. Look at the vote totals; not all votes are in, but Trump is actually running a few million behind his 2020 total, while Harris is 15M+ behind what Biden pulled in. Trump doesn’t seem to have much more support than last time, but about 1 out of 7 voters that Biden earned did not vote this time.
The ones who did it over Gaza should prepare to be heartbroken when they see what Bibi and Trump do there next year.
I mean I am also interested to see how many votes the fucking Cheneys brought in…that was supposed to be bargain they were making by tacking very hard to the right. If the dems lost on enthusiasm its because they were decidedly not running an enthusiasm campaign.
None, I’m afraid. 5% of Republicans voted for Biden in 2020. 5% voted for Harris in 2024. A centrist waste
I don’t know about that. I and most all the others I know were pretty goddamn enthusiastic about Kamala.
Absolutely.
And as for Gaza, they just announced dumping the MoDefense(?) because he wasn’t genocidal enough.
Announced it on election day as hopefully one last fuck-you to Biden.
