The dem message of "we won't do better but the other guy will do worse" failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn't motivating enough
Right, it wasn't the media harping on every single thing the Dem candidate did wrong while apologizing and making excuses for Trump at every turn. Going on and on about Biden's age and then never bringing up age again once Biden dropped out of the race. No it's all the Dems fault 🙄
Did you watch the first debate where Biden could hardly speak a sentence? They were right about Biden's age. And they knew that Trump voters would never listen to them so what's the point of going after him over and over?
At the end of the day the blame falls mostly on the campaign and on the party and they failed. They have to do better than this or they'll fail again.
They haven't done that... Yet. As FD Signifier said, "you can't out-right the right". Democrats screwed themselves in many ways this election such as letting Biden hang onto his candidacy when he was unpopular and not communicating their plans to the public as much as they should have, and because of how fresh it is everyone is looking for someone, or some group, to blame. At the risk of defending Harris, which I'm not because I didn't like a lot of what she said, she really only had 100 days to actually put together a campaign. Trump has been campaigning since he left office.The truth is that this has been a long time coming and the American failure to recognize that is was ACTUALLY led to this. Well, that and the fact that Harris was a black woman. Racism and misogyny hard carried this election term in addition to the unpopular policies Harris proposed. As unpopular as those policies were though, the number don't show that the policies are what lost her the election.
I also blame this on left leaning influencers AND news sites because they spent more time making fun of Trump than actually saying anything to convince the right to vote for Harris. Again, I'm not even saying that I agreed with Harris, but she would have been better for a LOT of minority people than we know Trump is. Laughing at Trump working a closed down McDonald's is one thing, but they didn't do much else. This is the reason I'm kind of done with the online left in general. The spend so much time making fun of people that they don't realize we need people on the left to be in positions of power before things can change in a meaningful way. The liberal media got cocky and so they contributed to Trump winning. They never brought up that he was a felon, a rapist, or attempted a coup. Nothing.
The dems lost this election when unpopular senile Biden insisted on running again and no powerful Democrat stopped him
That was never the democrat's message.
What you are describing is the disinformation that you fell for.
Harris's nomination acceptance speech was around 70% right wing positions. Undeniable.
I watched multiple speeches given by kamala and I watched the debate. This is the message I came away with and judging by the outcome of the election Im thinking that's the message most people got. Intention is irrelevant perception is what matters and they failed
Germany, Jan 1933 = USA, Jan 2025
Oh my gosh you're so right, TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER
I mean it's quite different. Hitler wasn't elected (at least not prior to seizing power and effectively banning all opposition). Instead the Nazis got a plurality of just 33% in the Reichstag election, which led to failure to form a government. Then Hitler somehow convinced the center right President to grant him powers which he promptly started abusing and the rest is history.
In other words, 1930s Germany can kind of defend itself in ways the US can't.
He got elected deomocratically. In the German system, one party gaining the absolute majority is very rare and coalition governments are the norm. The cancellor is usually the candidate of the party with the largest percentage in that coalition. In the case of the NSDAP, that was Hitler. The conservatives formed a coaltion with him because they were sure the conservative president would be able to keep Hitler in check. Unfortunately, said president did the opposite and was instrumental in giving Hitler absolute power.
Donald Trump just won with a plurality of around 31% of eligible voters
Its nothing like Hitler.
Hitler was a vegetarian, who didn't drink and smoke, who was loyal to his partner.
If you think Hitler was loyal to Eva Braun, we've been reading vastly different books.
No, Hitler was just as much a sex pest as any other dictator, and was pretty bad before gaining power. Like targeting 14 year olds, and his 14 year old niece.
But he also had uncontrollable flatulence that could clear a ballroom. Which goes to show that while time travelers couldn't kill him, they certainly could fuck with him.
Hitler literally injected meat, let's not put him on any kind of pedestal. These are all myths based on apparently very effective German propaganda.
Also, that guy killed Hitler.
I mean, how can you say support the guy that killed Hitler.
I support that guy's Hitler killing policy. Just wish he implemented it in 1920 rather than in 1945.
