OFFICIAL ELECTION RESULTS - POTUS | TRUMP ELECTED 47th President

[Awinisawin]

Nothing matters when everything is a lie.

Someone told me today that they believed that Kamala would take people’s houses.

Social media and the oligarchs have destroyed this country. They simply want what’s best for themselves and everyone else just cheers and gives it to them.

In reality the banks will take their houses when they have no job and can’t afford the payment.

 

[haroldminer]

Sounds like a force that the Democrats should try to tap into if it’s that’s strong.

They should lie and exploit misinformation?

 

[BlooVooDoo]

Someone explain how trump intends to bring milk down from $3.99 to $1.99 and if it doesn’t do I get to complain and blame him?

Well, $2 more for milk and eggs really isn’t a big deal, so when Fox News stops ranting about it the problem goes away.

 

[Zoo_View]

No. My world will not remain the same.

I’m dating a woman who’s an immigration attorney. Her world is about to get fucked. The world of the folks she works with and tries to help is about to get fucked. Ergo, my world is about to get fucked.

Fuck you.

Amen!

 

[Paine]

What could they have done different? There is no competing against Facebook and twitter.

How about running on a progressive populist message that is simple to understand instead of focusing your economic agenda on middle class tax cuts and home ownership?

So democrats should just lie and say whatever to get elected?

 

[Duke Mu]

Had a man tell my wife’s uncle that Kamala wasn’t born in America. Wtf do you do with that.

Trump's Firehouse of Bullsh*t. Trump is Mr. Haney from Green Acres crossed with Caligula.

And the internet spreads it like wildfire.

The internet was built for college professors coneheads like yours truly. Regular people weren't meant to be using it.

 

[lightbluenc]

For the record, I thought Kamala was a great candidate, she was my first choice in 2020 and I was ecstatic to have a prosecutor in office.

 

[Awinisawin]

Pay farmers less. They are gladly voting for that.

Also, milk prices are regulated by the government but Trump doesn’t know that.

I was gonna suggest to just sharpie in a new price. Voila ! Problem solved

 

[Paine]

They should lie and exploit misinformation?

If that’s the playing field, then the left is going to have to get down and dirty on the field that exists in order to win. We can’t just whine about how things are.

I’m not saying just flat out lie like Trump does, ofc.

 

[Zoo_View]

You’ve got no idea what a progressive would do in a general election because we haven’t had one.

I’m so fucking sick of liberals thinking they know everything about what the general electorate wants when we haven’t had a progressive populist candidate in the general election in my lifetime. Meanwhile a progressive populist came within a hair of knocking off an incumbent Republican in a ruby red state.

POTUS is a world away from a Senate seat.

 

[lightbluenc]

If that’s the playing field, then the left is going to have to get down and dirty on the field that exists in order to win. We can’t just whine about how things are.

Disagree completely. I don’t want to win in that world.

 

[haroldminer]

In 2020 Jared had messages sent in Spanish on whatsapp to Latinos that blacks were coming to take their jobs and rape their daughters - in Texas and FL.

I think America itself has to take part of the blame. We're Frankenstein and Trump is The Monster.

We’ve decided that what’s best for the oligarchs are what’s best for everyone else. There is no consequence for them, except giving them more money.

 

[Paine]

Disagree completely. I don’t want to win in that world.

I’d rather win.

Like what?

 

[Carolina Fever]

The fact that I knew a lot of liberals on the board would react to a Trump win in this way is telling. Heads in the sand. Blaming everyone but the Democratic Party and the Harris campaign.

There’s blame to go around, but y’all are blind if you think Harris and the party shares no percentage of the blame for this outcome.

It shouldn't have even mattered. There is no reason in a sensible society that someone who lies, cheats, breaks the law, is a convicted felon, brags about sexually assaulting women, tried to oveethrow an elecrion, was ok with an attempted insurrection and is just an overall narcissistic asshole should ever be considered to be President again. Kamala should have just been able to say she's not that and it should have been enough. But our country is screwed. This isn't about her or the campaign. This is so much more about half the people in this country who are ok with all that.

How do you get that message out when every outlet and platform is owned by your opposition?

 

[Paine]

POTUS is a world away from a Senate seat.

Never said it wasn’t. But y’all can’t just keep saying a progressive would have no chance of winning the presidency when there is no data to bear that out.

It’s not like Bernie was the nominee in 2016 and lost by a landslide.

 

[lightbluenc]

I’d rather win.

I’ve got character and integrity. I don’t want to be on a team that wins at all costs and will fuck people over.

I’m not saying to fuck anyone over. I’m simply saying that there are a ton of low informed voters. Trump spoke to them, Democrats failed to. So how do we reach them? Messaging has to change.
