How about not voting the guy in then?
If the voting public were not handcuffed to the two party system by First-past-the-post voting, perhaps they would have chosen someone else.
They voted because of "woke" and immigrants. A guy on social media told them those are the real problems we face.
I can't believe how little we are acknowledging that social media is currently being used to manipulate voters not just in US but also in Europe. Why people think that what happened in Romania didn't also happen in US? And is not happening in other European countries?
half of the respondents don't care, because it hurts minorities and immigrants more.
I was told the election was about the economy.
It was. Ruining it, that is.
Surprise!
As often as people beat that drum, it's nothing but an excuse for most. They don't have any actual thoughts or opinions on the economy. Just voting on vibes.
I think it's that and "the grass is greener" fallacy. "I'm upset with things now so I'll vote for somebody different because it might be better."
Canada is on our way toward falling into that same trap.
It's frustrating to see the right wing party so far ahead in the polls when they have nothing to offer except "We're not that other guy".
The Behavioral Theory of the Firm gives me the ick.
I was repeatedly told on Lemmy that it was about genocide.
It was and they won! Now with Trump in office no more Palestinians will suffer! The humanitarian crisis is over, god-emperor himself said he wants Israel to "finish what they started". He must mean that war needs to end, what other interpretation could possibly be accurate? I thank Jesus personally every night for helping the man win who wants to jack inflation right back up after it's finally started taming. Our economy is in the right hands!
I’m sure he will help end the war and the suffering. But in the monkey’s paw style.
I was told it was about immigation
I was also repeatedly told on Lemmy that it was about BlUEMaGA.
I heard it was about the price of eggs.
That's a term I haven't heard in a long time.
Weird how people aren't talking about the major shortcomings of the democratic candidate anymore. I wonder why that might be.
If Kamala was anti trans rights you'd be sitting here like "why doesnt anyone talk about trans rights anymore, those damned russians at it again". No, it's tablestakes that the right is awful. You're on a left leaning platform, most people here oppose the genocide. Obviously there was going to be vocal pushback on how your candidate sucked on an issue that basic.
