MODERATORS
No it's not, liberals tried the age old tactic of getting minorities and the working class to vote for neoliberals that have devastated their well being for 50 years because the GOP is racist, and for some reason it didn't work this time.
Y'all took the wrong lesson from COVID and 2020. It wasn't that voters were going to continue to put up with Democrat's fealty to the right and corporate donors. It was that COVID was so unprecedented that they held their nose one last time. ,
/r/agedLikeMilk
I would have said this aged like milk after Trump's landslide-even-the-popular-vote victory, but even milk doesn't sour this fast. This aged like unrefrigerated shellfish.
Aged like a wet fart.
Aged like a sushi delivery order where they sandwich the sushi container between my edamame boxes.
She seems to have lost worse than Hillary...
The DNC will continue to lose HARDER!! Until the morale improves
She was not only a women, she's a black women.
Yeah ignore the fact that she stepped hard to the right and supported a genocide
Think of all the Dick Cheney supporters who voted for Kamala.
Dick Cheney probably has more followers on his only fans than voters he brought to the table.
Could be true if he actually brought positive numbers I don’t think onlyfans has negative numbers but I have also not spent any money there 👀
I have also not spent any money there 👀
Sounds like something a subscriber to Dick Cheney's only fans would say.
Dick Cheney is an obvious dominatrix character from a Quentin terrantino movie
I think that characters name is actually "Dick Chainey"
Common mistake.

Wow! What a great campaign /s
Did she win? No? Then it doesn't fucking matter!
What? Should she be getting a participation trophy? Sorry, I can't hear you over how Ukraine is being annexed by Russia.
Also it wasn't a toss up. Trump won every single swing state. All of them. This article is some mad copium. Prepare to see more of it over the next few days.
Aw man it was so close. I mean it wasn't, but she had a fierce competitor. The demented overweight felon rapist child molester won, but it was just the better choice overall
I know right. They act like Harris was some plucky underdog. When in reality her party is only one of two that govern the most power country on earth.
Here’s a list of progressive policies both foreign and domestic that supermajorities of both democrats and republicans support.
What’s that? You’d rather support genocide and brag about being endorsed by Dick Cheney?
You do you, I guess……. You’ll still get your weird blue maga votes i suppose.

Leave it to the modern journalist to spin a loss as a win. Comedic at best.
Panelist on pbs live election coverage was saying Harris ran a flawless campaign. They just dont get it.
Lemmy users have been repeating the same bullshit.
Why is no one discussing Dems have lost the senate and given a bigger majority in the house to Republicans. Even without Trump they are bound to control house and the senate.
Stand by for nothing happening for the next 2 years or worse.

LMAO. Cope harder. The fact that this race was close at all just shows how much of a joke they are.
It's honestly unreal that Trump is even in the race, let alone in a position to pull off a possible win. After everything that has happened. I try to keep a positive spirit in general, but it's not easy to be optimistic on behalf of the US right now.
It's not unreal at all. I don't understand why time after time people underestimate what monsters the average American is.

Edit: If Kamala loses, and it looks like she might, I'm blaming her and her campaign. She could have swooned the beliefs of America if she had ran on something better.
Her political skills are trash.
Kamala gained the most approved points after Biden gave her the race.
Since then, her approval rating has plummeted compared to her early numbers, and I think this is because Kamala doesn't really know what to believe.
You can see it with Tim Walz. There was a lot of momentum when Kamala took up the mantle, and that momentum was carried through once the Walz pick came out. Then, around the DNC, the campaign's tone shifted, crawling back to the ethos of the Biden administration. I think this is because Kamala couldn't decide to break away from Biden or not, and because she waited so long, she was around a lot of the same people in the Biden administration, and those people influenced her platform. You can also see this with marijuana and how she changed sides in her time between being DA and senator. Also, how she didn't really have a solid platform to begin with, which should have been established right when Walz was picked.
I'm not here to call her out as a flip flopper. I'm pointing to how she could have steamrolled this election, but chose not to. It saddened me so much when the campaign had silence Tim for his views and policies when those views and policies were the key to victory.
It's truly embarrassing as hell to have a Democratic party that can't absolutely crush a clown like Trump. The Democratic establishment isn't just out of touch, it's weak as fuck. Yes, this is on Kamala, but it's also on Obama, and the Clintons, and Pelosi, and Schumer, and the whole "anyone but Bernie" coalition. This is the consequence of running to the center instead of tackling wealth inequality head on.

I'd argue the opposite.
The fact that Americans are possibly still voting for someone who will bring in the Fourth Reich if elected, over the first female president is a sign of just how badly Democrats have dropped the ball. ESPECIALLY after Jan 6th.
I 100% agree except why is it that "Democrats dropped the ball"?
Democrats aren't voting for a fascist. Their politicians are not enabling a fascist. The Democratic voting base hasn't been bamboozled by 30+ years of obvious propaganda pretending to be news.
Christians dropped the ball. Conservative immigrants dropped the ball. Legit news media dropped the ball. Large corporations and wealthy individuals dropped the ball... on purpose.
Democrats work on harm reduction because we don't give them enough votes to make meaningful changes. A 1 or 2 vote margin isn't enough to vote around the moles like Manchin and Sinema.

It's not the Democrats' fault that there are so many cowardly, weak-minded, brainwashed losers in this country who fall for every bit of propaganda the GOP puts out. Politics shouldn't be about culture wars but that's how the republicans get votes.
It is the Democrats fault that there are so many cowardly, weak-minded losers in charge of the party though.

Close, but no cigar does not preserve actual democracy, unfortunately.
Calling yourself a democracy, and being a democracy are two very different things. The first proper word in North Korea's official country name is "Democratic", and bear in mind Russia holds "elections" as well.

It's not a testament to her abilities, it's a depressing statement about the state of America that a convicted felon, rapist, fascist loudman can be neck and neck with probably one of the smartest, most highly accomplished presidential candidates we've had in quite a while

The fact that the election is a toss up shows to me just how dumb America is.
The choice is an average politician or an orange wannabe fascist ..... and a good percentage of the country can't decide? Or they choose the fascist?
The fact that it is even a close race just displays in big giant signs just generally how stupid the country has become.
I normally don't like being that blunt or unkind but these people are literally holding the future of the world in their hands and they have no freaking clue what they are doing.
I'm not American and it is completely frustrating to sit outside as we watch a bunch of idiots being indecisive about either choosing normalcy or insanity. It's such a hard question for America that they need to have a never ending debate about it.

The fact that you thought I would vote for a WOMAN over a Rapist Felon who Promised to create HUGE Financial Hardships while killing my Daughter is LAUGHABLE!
The fact that it's close is a testament to the idiocy and racism of the American public.
