The outcome of the election doesn’t change the fact that 18% of voters wasted their vote on a Russian plant.

In the end it didn’t matter but it does matter that they knew the election was close and their protest vote could’ve very well been the deciding factor. They decided to make the statement despite the risk of having someone much worse winning. Now, go plead your cause to Trump.

He’ll likely pardon Hunter.

Which is crazy. In most countries, all parties are despised. In US, it is more like sports team.

It makes sense. The campaign thought the fear of Trump alone would be enough to bring in the progressive voters and she would have to work on persuading the center. They were clearly wrong in hindsight.

If the argument is that Harris should’ve run a more progressive campaign, is there any guarantee that she would get more progressive votes than she would have lost from the center/independents?

The large turnout in 2020 was more driven by the will to remove Trump than to elect Biden. This time it seems they forgot how bad it was and decided to stay home.

It seems like the problem was turnout. In the last election liberals decided to come out and vote to remove Trump from office. This time they didn’t bother to vote.

This. I don’t trust the general population to analyze the economy and decide which plan is better for the country.

It’s like one candidate explaining to toddlers that they need to eat their vegetables for long-term growth, while another one wins because they offer candies today.

What does that even mean?

I would like to think that but they have their plan: Project 2025.
