People need to stop blaming voters, we all need to start understand why this happen more and more in the world and not judge the voters for their decision. I have some theories but its not the time or place, but stop say "people are dumb" or "People need educations"... 100 million people cant be all dumb or uneducated, go deeper!

I also think part of the problem is that with the internet, we may just have a lot of data readily available, so much so people are overwhelmed they just tune it all out. We can spend a lot of time wondering why people vote the way they do but if the losing party doesn’t take the time to be retrospective and humble as to why they lost then I can’t blame people for that too much.

You're telling me... There's multiple issues and reasons in play... At the same time????

This is getting entirely too complicated for me.

Yes, yes they can.

They've been conditioned for 8 years that any negative thing they read or hear about their leader is "fake news", and likely their own pride of not wanting to consider the possibility they could be mistaken has made them easy targets for the misinformation machine at Fox News to avoid telling them objective facts to instead pander to their emotions and tell them what opinion they should have. Mass manipulation by biased media.

Im sorry, but if Gaza, egg prices, and Harris not havjng a Y chromosome is enough for a magat trifecta, the voters are the problem. Not just the ones who stay home or vote third party, all of them. Americans are whats wrong with America

It feels so fucking obvious to me and it has for the 20 years I've been voting, I fucking voted for dennis kucinich lol. There's a reason Bernie was able to cut through the noise. He had a blunt and obvious, class based, economic ideology. That's where he planted his flag.

The 'third way' Democrat machinery seems to plant it's flag on reactionary culture war issues. Even if that's only the perception, not reality, they always take the bait.

AND WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE SO GOD DAMNED LONG FOR TRUMP TO BE CHARGED FOR J6? If you want to call them Nazis you have to do Nuremberg when you have the fucking chance.

I'm blaming voters. 100 million people can be all dumb, and the results of this election is the definitive proof of that.

If people in America were actually smart, actually cared, and actually knew more than the the colour of their front lawn, they'd have voted Green.
