    Congratulations on voting for Trump, by putting yourself on a moralistic high horse.

    I voted for Harris, I'm not campaigning for her literally years after the election though like you are, only a literal pedophile would do that.

    Is my policy shit? No, it’s the voters who are wrong.

    Yes. Let's keep absolving voters for the most obvious voting blunder in American history.

    Let's keep absolving voters for going with the twice impeached convicted felon and adjudicated rapist with one failed presidency under his belt instead of the highly educated non-criminal but admittedly milquetoast alternative.

    Voters don't have any responsibility, right?

    Can you show me with quotes when I said the voters don’t have any responsibility?

    I just said that the DNC has a shit conservative platform. That’s blaming the DNC, not voters.

    Do you also blame workers for the actions of their CEOS?

    I mean Harris' policy did explicitly address most of the concerns everyday Americans have but the overwhelming majority of them, including apparently you, don't have any idea what her actual policies were, they just repeat what fox news told them to think.

    I followed her campaign closely. The only policy she had was a first time homeowner credit that was written so almost no one would qualify for it, and it would have only served to bid home prices up even further.

    And clearly Harris's policies did not meet the concerns of everyday Americans, as she lost to one of the least qualified candidates in American history.

    I know this is very painful to accept. But Trump actually spoke more to the issues of the American people than Harris did. Compare the messages:

    Trump: I will improve your standard of living by deporting millions of brown people. This will ease the housing supply and tighten the labor market, thereby helping the average white person.

    Harris: you're imagining the inflation you're experiencing. I don't give a fuck about your opinions on Gaza; your voice doesn't matter. Vote for me unless you want the Nazi to win.

    And then people wonder why she lost. Trump actually talked to the needs of the average voter. He had a concrete plan on how to help his base. That plan was evil and abominable, but he actually made a compelling case. Kamala didn't even try.

    It turns out "I don't give a shit about you, vote for me or the Nazi will win" is a strategy you can only pull so many times. It's been the Democratic campaign message for every election for my whole adult life. And at this point it's lost all effectiveness.

    The real problem was that you can't run on the other guy being a Nazi after your side just refused to bring them to justice. Biden ran on "the other guy is a Nazi." But once in power, he didn't treat them like you're supposed to treat Nazis. His campaign message was that Trump was a unique threat, but he treated them like ordinary political opposition once he was in office.

    Actions speak louder than words. Harris tried to run a campaign that was directly countered by Biden's actions for the last four years. What was the average voter supposed to conclude but that Democrats were lying about Trump being a Nazi?

    I think you just like blaming voters. You're demonstrating the same political proclivities as a Republican who blames the homeless for being homeless. After all, poor people should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, right? If they're poor, it's their own fault. Why consider any other factors when we could just call lazy people lazy?

    Liberal (n): a human being that believes voters should have none of the power of and all of the responsibility for elections.

    I haven’t watched Fox News since the early 90’s. Wanna cool up a new fantasy about who I am again? It’s very entertaining for me.

    IIRC she had outlined some policies in her platform that would have helped with that.

    Her and her flying monkeys also gaslit the American people. There was very much a "speak no evil, hear no evil" head-in-the-sand attitude to her whole campaign. The campaign, and liberals on social media, just kept blindly parroting the official CPI figures. They would scream down and downvote to oblivion anyone who dared go against the party line, pointing out the well known flaws of the CPI measurement.

    Liberals believe in manifesting. It's the "power of positive thinking" taken to the extreme, into the realm of toxic positivity. Their belief system is that if you believe a thing hard enough, and if you prevent anyone from saying anything to the contrary, the universe will conspire to make your desired reality come into being. If you shout down any negative criticism, you will win.

    That's what the Harris campaign was like. It was horribly flawed. It had a number of campaign positions that made Harris completely unelectable. They tried to vibe their way to victory. Unfortunately, manifesting isn't real, and they smacked right into the hard unyielding wall of reality.

    There was essentially no policy to help with cost of living. That's what I'm trying to point out. That was one of the bullshit policies she was running with. And I fuckin voted for her lol

    well policy wise, she did talk about praying and loving her glock. Centrists like to pretend that never happened. She could reach out to the republican-lites about what they wanted to hear but she had not a single care for the priorities of the massive number of progressive voters. And for all that bending over to the "independents" she got almost nothing for the effort and lost massively from her base voters.

    Clearly the DNC plans to try that again, and they will lose again. To Rubio, Shapiro or eric trump ..or someone else who is almost comically unqualified and impossible to lose to.

    She did, Biden did too - that inflation wave after covid was inevitable after reopening from covid, and then they got it under control but for some reason everyone ignored that and voted for trump saying "lower prices on day one"

    Another one kamala had no platform besides not trump -- also not true she talked about all her policies she has the website with like a thousand different policies -- but nobody wanted to see that the media just made the election about trump.

    At the end of the day, trump is the president we deserve as a people, we love wrestling and crypto and gambling more than we love affordable housing and healthcare. Maybe not you specifically, and me certainly not, but the average american, that's what they want. this whitehouse ufc event is gonna do bigger numbers than any Mayweather fight ever. That's what the people chose.

    "I have no empathy..no empathy."

    "No you're only getting 600 because we decided to include the last payments which ads up to $1,200 so we're keeping our promise technically."

    That's pretty much what people remember about Biden's concern for their financial woes.

    Trump literally ran without a platform both times. The RNC basically said, "Whatever he wants is our platform." So it's understandable why Dems thought Kamala could get away without talking about the party's platform. They were trying to match the vibes-based campaign model.

    Because anyone paying attention knows that Democrats are always better for our economy. So anyone bitching about the cost of living had a really easy decision to make in 2024.

    Democrats may be better for traditional markers of the economy, but 50 years of neoliberalism from both parties has resulted in a K-shaped economy. One that is great if you already have wealth (which is what things like GDP and inflation tell you), but one that is terrible and getting worse if you are a regular person. Neither party has done anything to actually fix the systemic issues that caused this, so when status-quo Dems claim to be better for working people, we can all see that for the lie it is.
