Democrats also lost massively in the 45-60 age group.

And she wasn't the choice of the Democratic base. They haven't had the chance to primary since 2019.

This is all on the DNC. Their base is hella mad RN.

And its a question why people don't take the sensationalism seriously out of peoples mouths
He lives in Virginia which almost went red, so you have to give him a break because its clear he can't accept that people in his great state would vote red for any other reason than subtle racism THAT WAS NEVER THEREBEFORE!!@#@! OMG.

good lord.

Again, that is the best they had to offer with a limited pool.

As soon as governors like Shapiro and Newsome threw their suppourt behind her you knew they worried they would ruin their chances in 28.

Hell, I wonder if he’ll still be alive.
Yes, he will remove term limits. That is exactly what he'll do. Tell all your friends and all the Democrats as well.

Because that is exactly how Vance gets a free ride of the WH.

I feel like the polls were way way way way way off. Like I don’t recall seeing any that stated landslide Republican win?

If the Democrats would have held a proper primary she would have miserably failed just like the last time she actually had to run for election as a candidate.

Everyone threw their support behind her because they were all duped into believing it was Harris or bust.

Turned out that was true, but not in the way they thought.

I think the thing with voting for Trump is kind of different groups:
  • People who are NOT at all involved or caring about all of his ####tiness. They just don't pay attention. They voted for him either because he's the Republican, or Christian values, or the thinking that he's a good business man so he should be able to better lead the economy. This is the majority. They're lazy, kind of dumb, and just don't really give a #### about much of anything.
  • People who think it's funny to wave your big American dick in the face of all the triggered libs. These are the kind of people who lack any kind of empathy and are selfish AF (most young men who voted for him probably fit into this group).
  • The Stephen Miller types who are fuelled by hate and want a White Christian Ethno-state. These are the deplorables.

Biden should have been properly primaried long before he was convinced to step down. The writing on the wall was there for a long time.

I think Biden is a decent person as far as politicians go, but old age is dog. He was showing decline for a while. By the time he stepped down and the campaigns were under way, Harris was probably the logical option.

And I have nothing specific against Harris. Maybe she would have won a primary anyway.

I actually think there’s a high probability he might. Why wouldn’t he?

Trump is older than he was in 2020

Yup. Keep going with that. Dems in a nutshell. "You're too stupid to vote the right way. We know what's best. You're a racist moron."

He's literally up across every demo. Stop telling people that you know best and start listening to their actual concerns.

They’re still counting. He’ll end around 305-310 or so. And yes, it is. And yes, the polling sucked and was off.
