| Ryuu96 said: She lost because of the economy I.E. Inflation/Grocery Prices, Imho. But on the flip side, if there weren't so many people comfortable with knowingly voting for a fascist, she wouldn't have lost, and that's the scary thing to me. Hatred and bigotry won. What did they even promise, RFK Jr in control of their health, a brain being eaten alive by worms, an antivaxxer and conspiracy theorist, no fluoride in the water. Banning abortion for all cases. Talking shit about childless adults, Democrats, Puerto Ricans, Haitian-Americans, Mexicans, Jews who don't vote Republican, women, etc, the only group they didn't insult was white men. Musk promising that people will be hurt by their economic plans. Stupid tariff ideas. Drill baby drill. Fuck Ukraine and fuck Palestine. Robinson, a self claimed Nazi got fucking 40% of the vote. And I'm sorry, as much as I hate Israel, Palestine had nothing to do with why Democrats lost. Many of these reasons being listed are irrelevant in the face of inflation, human beings are largely selfish. Harris economic plans were far more widely endorsed by people who actually know what they're talking about but Harris was massively hurt by being part of the incumbent government and they receive all the blame, if people can't afford day to day goods then they're going to try someone else even if it makes zero sense. America is rotten to its core, a lot of people comfortable with fascism and a poor education system wherein people will vote for a convicted felon and man who tried to overthrow democracy because they foolishly believe he will bring the price of their bread and eggs down. Sadly Democrats will take the lesson from this that a female president is unviable so I expect 2028 will be Shapiro - Whitmer. I'm probably going to have to take a dip from the internet Tbh. Feels like America has just spat in Europe's face and I'm now going to have to watch not only Israel go fucking insane bombing the shit out of Palestine and everyone around them but also watch Ukraine slowly be slaughtered by Russia, thanks America. Real fucking great allies. I am trying not to be mad at Americans as a whole but it's difficult, I really despise America as a country right now, all I will say is that Democrats should hunker down and protect each other from the shitstorm that is coming their way, look out for each other, and keep up the fight where possible but I don't think I can personally stand to watch this shitshow anymore, I think I just have to focus on my own country. |
You're awake. :). Was waiting patiently to see your thoughts. Same as you man, I'm dipping out of social media and the news until the initial storm passes.
The UK will be fine, the budget was pretty rough especially for the poor but things will turn around.
What power does he have as President elect? Is it January until we see what ever he has in store?
Also, may I be unbanned from the Ukraine thread? I promise to not repost and only comment when I have valid concerns or thoughts on the war. I wanna be able to discuss this under a Trump presidency and have no where else. ERA hate me and I hate NeoGAF.
