You have to try. Otherwise, tonight's results will just continue. The Dems don't have a winning coalition. You need to appeal to someone you lost tonight to rebuild a winning coalition.
Stock markets at record highs, low unemployment, wage growth exceeds inflation, the best handling of inflation of any G7 nation, energy independence, and I can go on and on and on...But no matter how this result lands, whether VP Harris ekes this out or not, it is amazing how…— Brett Meiselas 🇺🇸🦅 (@BMeiselas) November 6, 2024
I'm chatting with an English mate in Glasgow who is engaged to a guy in Seattle (originally from Omaha). His American fiance doesn't think abortion will be banned nationwide and that homosexuality won't eventually be illegal. There's not much I can do with people who are so deliberately rejecting reality.
Do you think if the party had stuck to Biden things might be different? I know all the Biden is old, but he is still a straight white male
Inflation/economy was always the main priority of many folks and they always hung it on the Dems at the national level instead of looking at it at the global leve the shitty thing is with inflation starting to trend downwards and interest rates coming down, trump is going to swoop in and ride that wave (like he did on obamas economy) and claim he fixed it. trump + gop senate control and the very real probability that trump will appoint two more nutjobs to SCOTUS is the worst possible outcome. YAY Definitely a “Brave New World” coming up: Europe is really going to have to fend for itself… but hell theyre on a right wing curve themselves… the ripples of Trump will definitely be felt (Ukraine, good luck). Those communities that “insisted” that the Dems marginalized them decided to punish them this election.. lets see how they feel about being targeted instead.. Power to social media, all the incessant trolling and victim mentality of calling everything broken and woke really put a chip on a lot of shoulders… Lets see Finances will be under Musk, Nations Health on RFK Jr.. will Jared Kushner solve the Middle East again? are family separations at the border on the menu again?
Nobody really cares that she is a female, nice try though. She was weak. Had 4 years to do something and didn't. Her speeches are pretty much the same just change the name of the city. Unbelievably fake with no substance.
This is true, Messi and friends will be on the first plane out of the country, Miami will go back to sucking and San Diego will win a Supporters Shield on the first try
Tell you what. I'll put my neck in the noose and you see if you can win when you have no one to defend. Of course, if all the current victims of oppression disappear, it won't matter who's in office to the White remainder.
you have to go to their core worldview - how they understand the natural and social environments. Anything else is superficial.
It was why I didn't want him to drop out in the first place. I'm not going to say I was right because I did get when I asked if I really was upset because I just did not trust america. They didn't vote for a well qualified white woman and they lost their mind once a black man one so how does combining those help win
I think Brooks nailed it in a recent NYTimes OpEd. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/opinion/harris-trump-close-race.html
Clearly, this is a task for most demographics EXCEPT blacks. Y'all voted close to 9:1. It your "allies" that haven't made it happen. *raises hand*
This analysis misses the point. 1 - People don't care that inflation just recently got under control. On absolute value, they think of Trump era prices. 2 - Housing went up a lot, and that's a big expense. Interest rates are high to buy a house making it very unaffordable. You can't erase that image. 3 - It's irrelevant to say "we did better than other countries" to people's everyday lives. Most people don't think like that. 4 - Personally, I am not convinced wages have outpaced inflation. And mind you, I am not blaming Biden. But that's how the game is played.
Black people have done our part. The thing is over time the GOP have got other minorities to be more Republican. Latinos, LGBT and of course white women. If they were also 9 to 1, then it would be a difference
I honestly don't think so. Biden is cooked. And he left the race way too late. That was most likely a big mistake.
