You're commenting on the very specific set of social, cultural, organizational, and regional elements that have affected this election, and you have no direct knowlege, or comprehensive knowledge of any of it. Yet here you are feeling really strongly about it.

Where did I say anything of the notion "democrats suck for losing".

Also, I'd argue that no one has "comprehensive" knowledge of the elements that affected this election. At least not at this point in time. "Direct" knowledge is IMHO not that important to judge the situation.

I think you underestimate how much US politics is covered around the globe. Just look at this community and remember: there are a lot of non-US citizens on Lemmy.

Okay, but we’re talking about the mindset of Americans that didn't vote against trump. I’d argue whatever insight the international press offers is significantly more limited than the insight one gets from living a large percentage of one’s life here. As regards party politics, at least.
