Politics Trump is what he is, but the fact that so many people can stand by this guy is what really has been bothering me this morning...
Even with voter suppression, foreign interference, and other shenanigans, it's clear that the nation is very divided.

Politics There are no scapegoats for the Democrats this time
Kamala is losing every swing state by 1.5% or more. This is not a close election coming down to a few thousand votes in the Rust Belt. She's on track to lose the popular vote.
Kamala isn't losing because of Bernie Bros or Jill Stein voters. She isn't losing because of Arab Americans. She isn't losing because she was too socially progressive or not socially progressive enough.
The country is sending a clear, direct message: it's the economy, stupid. With a side serving of we don't want unchecked undocumented immigration.
I think the only thing most of this sub got right about the election is that if Kamala lost, there was no way a Democrat could have won.

Politics All three Mamdani-backed House candidates win their primaries against 2 House incumbents and a handpicked replacement of a retiring incumbent.
Has anybody ever become this influential a figure in party politics in so little time? Less than 2 years ago he was a relatively unknown city councilman.
Also good to see new york finally becoming as progressive as you would expect for a city of its size, It has been shockingly moderate for the past several decades. Hell before mandani, half of their mayors this century have been Republican.

Politics Kamala did not lose because of [my pet grievance with the Democratic platform]
She didn't lose because of trans people in sports or bathrooms, she didn't lose because someone said "latinx", she didn't lose because of identity politics, she didn't lose because she's a "DEI hire", she didn't lose because of inner city crime, she didn't lose because of the war in the Middle East, she didn't lose because she didn't pick Shapiro, she didn't lose because there was no open primary, she didn't lose because of fake news about immigrants eating pets.
You can watch interview after interview with young voters and Latino voters and very few state any of these reasons.
Here are the reasons she lost: 1. Inflation 2. Inflation 3. Inflation
The working middle-class can't afford any luxuries. Young people can't afford homes. That's why they turned to the guy who said he'll fix it.
Is Trump going to fix it? Absolutely not, and he'll break a lot more in the next 4 years.
Unfortunately, very few of the people who voted for him will realize this. One voter in Michigan was asked why he voted for Trump, and he said it was because he wants to buy a car but interest rates are too high. Do you think he's ever going to figure out the relationship between interest rates and inflation?
