The grossest thing about the racist recriminations over Harris' loss is that the racial group that makes up 70% of the electorate and the vast majority of Trump voters is somehow blameless, clean, and without blemish.

It seems like every minority is only as good as their latest contribution to the movement, while white liberals are always welcome to flow in and out every election cycle like a goddamn tide.

Conservatives have mocked us for decades with terms like bleeding heart and woke because they see us betraying those values at the fist sign of trouble. And they're right.

There are two groups responsible: idiots and bigots.

It's my fault even though I voted against it? Checks out.

Blaming people for voting for Trump is the only thing stopping us from seeing that our real enemy is the 1%, the political elite, and the corporate oligarchy.

We have the same enemy as Trump voters, it’s just easier to blame our neighbor for our problems than those who should really be held accountable.

This is the exact reason why Trump voters voted for Trump, it’s easier to blame democrat voters than it is to hold the culpable to account.

I personally blame those on the left who didn't vote.

Democrats aren't perfect, but this was like letting a snake bite unattended because the antidote can give you headaches.

I had no idea that the Amish vote. I guess I just never thought of it, but I always got isolationist vibes from what I know.

I see this blame of various groups, of Harris of Democrats often one contradicting the other, but almost no one is acknowledging that we are in the middle of information warfare. We saw is effects in invasion of crimes in 2014, in brexit in 2016, trump election of the same year, across elections in Europe and still very little is done about it.

When some people were asked about why they voted for trump their answers were bizarre, out of touch with reality.

Today majority of people gets the news from social media which unlike traditional MSM is much more prone to be manipulated by foreign powers. Russia especially matters it, add their active measures developed during cold war work really well with current Internet.

I feel like the main takeaway is more that everyone expected dumb white people to vote Trump. No one expected the very people he's openly said he's gonna fuck over to vote for him.

If there's a single group responsible it's the Democrats.

They're trying to cast blame around because if they can pin it on anyone else then they won't have to change. The problem of course is this time around so many people from different demographics stayed home that it's hard to pin point any one group. The closest would be the Arab American group in Michigan, but they didn't actually enter the equation. Michigan always required other states to win as well.

So it's the Democrats. It turns out hugging war criminals, gaslighting the public on the economy and deriding critics as Russian Shills (Pelosi laid that one on), was not a winning strategy.

To be fair to Harris, she made an outstanding run. The problem was the systemic issues had already set in by the time she took over. The convention was already 90 percent planned, the war chest was mostly allocated, and the staff were all the ones that had been blowing smoke at Biden.

So when I say The Democrats, like a conspiracy theorist uses the word "They", I mean it. It was the party insiders who didn't tell Biden he was having trouble in 2023. It was the party insiders who pushed for support of Netanyahu. It was party insiders who couldn't properly message the victories Biden did have.

The Democrats need to have a very big reckoning in a very small window of time. And it looks like they're taking the wrong message. With hand ringing over "purity tests" and minority rights. Independent voters didn't refuse to vote Dem because of high school athletes. They just want an economy that actually works for them. That's it. After decades of loss in real wages the hierarchy of needs is down to food and shelter. They honestly do not care if the football team has to let a trans person play.

Yeah, latinos did
