I thought Harris lost because Americans hate women. At least that’s the narrative from Democrats who don’t want to admit that moving to the right was a shitty idea.
Both statements can and is true.
I mean for fucks sake, 53 percent of white women voted for Trump. Even American women hates women.
The most anti abortion person I know is a woman of colour
53 percent of white women who voted voted for Trump.
This may surprise you, but the ones that didn’t vote but could tacitly were fine with Trump as well.
Hilarious to me how the left echo chambers (in which I often participate) missed the takeaway from the election and somehow say (as they do with every election over the past couple decades) that this time the Dems moved to the right and that’s why they lost.
If the Dems really kept shifting so much to the right each cycle, how do you explain the past 4 years?
As someone outside the US who’s reasonably centrist from a global perspective…
The Democrats have been inching further right for decades. Every four years, the party picks one or two “progressive” topics, dials them back a bit, and campaigns on change, while supporting a general platform that is similar to conservative platforms in most countries.
That said, the population seems to be shifting along with them, so campaigning on a centrist platform would get them branded as pinko commie socialists and result in the majority of the population abandoning them.
The problem is, they’re the “not Republicans” party, which covers a huge swathe of political opinions that usually aren’t in agreement with each other.
Hilarious to me that people who think Democrats moving left would have won this election when the root issue of voter ignorance reigns supreme and Republicans and extremely wealthy control the narrative via the news media still continues. And don’t get me wrong, I want Free Healthcare, Universe Basic Income, and even a Wage Cap, but I am still unconvinced these things would have been viewed positively enough to sway voters with the 2 afformentioned issues still persisting.

Oh, let me guess. You’re going to feed me the same “BiDeN iS tHe MoSt PrOgReSsIvE pReSiDeNt EvEr” crap. Lie to someone else.
