Another underemphasized factor of the Harris loss: the arrogance of Joe Biden and the DNC.
Biden was too unpopular to win, period. He might should have withdrawn his candidacy last year, before the primaries.
Complete aside, in keeping with ruminations about the ongoing partisan realignment, this is the first time since the late 19th century that the in bent has lost in three consecutive elections.

party of the working class
Had some friends and family in Chile, living in the country side.. yeah I wouldn't recommend it either but, at least it's far away from bigger conflicts
My brothers and sisters that stayed in the US, have very nice jobs, very nice houses (and million dollar mortgages), but they're ting their pants right now and not because they are illegal..
Terrifying numbers for Dems. Massive expansion of Trump's base.
I don't buy it. This election was a middle finger at Biden and the DNC just like the last one was a middle finger at Trump and the previous one a middle finger at Clinton and the DNC.
I said this many many years ago…and have always known this fact:
People LOVE - and WANT- to be lied to.
Propaganda works. The old playbook worked in 1930’s Germany because it worked….until hundreds of millions of dead bodies signaled that maybe worshipping an evil liar criminal was not such a good idea…
but for that guy to stand there and recite from an old playbook and lie to the masses…it brought him to unfettered power….until the violent end.
Right wing/rupert murdoch media…works 24/7 on lies and the masses get hypnotized and it just works.
Our country is the envy of the planet and our recovery the fastest and best on the planet…but
americans….”arent feeling it!”
That was due to the the alternate reality created and it worked. Like a charm. LIE TO THEM 24/7! Get the best and biggest liars on the planet and the masses will vote them into power.
People love to be lied to their faces. Want to be “successful in politics/gain power?”
Lie. Lie your ass off and people will open wide and say, “thank you sir- may I have another!?”
Dems are scratching their heads and asking, “was it this that or the other decision kamala made and should she have this that or the other?”
hahahahahahahahaha!
No one called out fox news,rupert murdoch, right wing liars and showed their lies and disproved their lies.
no politician said- “Trump,fox, Gop- ARE ALL LYING TO YOUR FACE- Wake the up!”
Instead, they normalized the liars, the criminals and instead said, “i will install a 25k housing credit…i will blah blah”
while the liars were saying, “she is dumb…we will deport criminals (even though HE is a criminal) we will make Nazi germany great again!”
Lie. It is what stupid sleeping people on auto-pilot crave and want and can NEVER EVER GET ENOUGH OF!.
You are looking at a political answer..and are probably right…
but the psychological solution and the state of the HYPNOTIZED americans is being ignored again at our own peril…
they sided with the criminals/liars because propaganda/lies were injected into their veins 24/7 and 52-54 percent of americans are basically programmed zombies falling in line into a 1930’s germany state of delusion all over again.
Obviously they're still counting in NV and AZ but right now it looks like Trump has less votes than he did in 2020. Not sure I'd call that a massive expansion so much as a massive fumble by the Dems
Base???
Lol no
Kamala was just a vomit inducing candidate
Combination of Kamala, Genocide and Inflation made most normal humans to vote Dump or not vote
In 2 years Dumps stupidity wil likely lose him the House and in 2028 itll be all mostly back to normal

Americans are so ing dumb, treating democracy as supporting events for candidates that wouldn't piss on you.
Still love living here and making copious amounts of money tbh, don't run it into the ground too fast
You really think candidates in other countries are any different???

Having a two party system where you're replacing a senile octogenarian with a billionaire big-city populist octogenarian (again) is peak re ed for the world's best democracy. What an utter lack of imagination and capitulation from the populace. At least in Sudan they don't front - you just get no choiceYou really think candidates in other countries are any different???
Could Bidet been any more out of touch??
I'll give you the cold hard truth. Few cared until they started losing the War i.e all those Scientists the USA imported. Not how many "foreigners" they deported or even buried. Nazi Germany hosting the Olympics set an International standard. One could even argue as long as Trump doesn't dwarf into a Warmonger, he can pull it off.
This playbook you speak of is being currently used by almost every nation that has been recently butt ed by mass migration. That's the correlation. Not a nation 100 years ago, that didn't face mass migration and was even coming off the heels of population drop.
I continue to believe the democrats' best chance is going wide left, leaving the center behind, and losing an election cycle or few. Eventually Democrats get another mandate because people are looking to "the other guy" like they always do in this 2 party bull , and then they get everything they say people need done. They won't do it, though. They'll try to move even further right while still keeping the facade of iden y politics, supporting boys in girls' locker rooms and girls' sports, pronouns, etc etc etc.
Democratic party is dead in the water. Their big go-to - and one even I personally thought would be successful, at least to some degree - was demographic change. They never stopped to think that Latinos, for instead, wouldn't become conservative when they started being successful and find the iden y politics trash. Gen Z men do not suddenly care more about women or their rights, in fact, quite the opposite with the burgeoning incel rhetoric. Feminists are not going to suddenly change and like men, dude, because they're younger and supposedly going to be more progressive
They need themselves a good liar, who's rich, male, and probably white. Who is willing to dispute elections for his own pride, shove through left-wing with the narrowest of margins, and blame everything, including lots of that isn't Republicans' fault, on Republicans. Doubt it'll happen.
Meh, it seems to be mostly fallout from inflation. Once the Republicans things up again we'll see what happens.
