This election reminds me a bit of 1992. Bush the father was running for reelection after an extremely successful four years. But Bush was only focused on foreign policy which was his cup of tea. Totally had no clue how to message the economy. What were voters to think when he said he couldn't do anything about the ity bitty recession, that they were normal business cycles.

Biden was totally focused on passing stuff thru Congress because that was his background. He had no clue how to message the economic issues. Voters make you pay when they get the idea you are out of touch. Say what you want to about Trump, but his voters thought he cared more about them then Biden and the Democrats. Might also contribute to why Democrats are losing blue collar workers.

There is none. They are out there talking about how the hurricanes were the result of weather control.

Look at Trump's campaign. How did he find a message to appeal to some working class whites? He didn't. His campaign the last month was pure grievance and hate. That's what we are up against. They hate us. This is the combined effect of 25 years of demonization.

The only thing we can do is make sure the MAGAs feel the FO part of FA instead of the people who are usually on the end of that stick.

and for fuck's sake don't bail them out. Let them come to us when they have had enough.

I don’t know how you blend that message with the divisive, hateful rhetoric that has become part and parcel of Republican politics. And to be clear, it’s the rhetoric that MAGA finds most appealing.

Well I meant the lying worked for Bill. I don't think he really felt their pain. His policies didn't really help the lower class.

Worse than not saying anything at all. Bleh.

“The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions. Laura and I are grateful to the election officials, poll workers, and volunteers who oversaw a free, fair, safe, and secure election,” Bush said. “We join our fellow citizens in praying for the success of our new leaders at all levels of government.”
Bush, who in September said he wouldn't endorse either candidate, thanked President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their service in the White House.

Immigrants and minorities voted for Trump.

Women lead men in votes cast and decided NOT to enshrine access to abortion and chose a rapist over a female.

Let’s face it: Democrats failed here. They ran a woman tied to an unpopular president, focused on abortion and higher ideals when all anyone cared about was immigration and the economy.

They failed. We keep pretending that everyone cares about the greater good as an overall message when most people are selfish individuals.

Maybe Democrats spend less time proselytizing and more time just focused on fucking winning races, then they can work on implementing policies that help the broader electorate. But WIN first.

Your policies aren't winning policies. 70% of the country felt the country was on the wrong track. This after you had 4 years to implement your policies. Your candidate was for open borders, medicare for all, opposed fracking and gas vehicles and gas appliances, and cows, and ......, weakened defense, mandatory gun buy back, and on and on and on with the extremist liberal policies. Run a Jeff Jackson type next election and you win. Move back to the center and away from the AOC wing of the party. Quit making culture war issues the face of your campaigns.

Dubya voted “Magic R” up-and-down the ticket.

Yep. No need to make this statement unless you’re happy with the outcome but too afraid to say so.
 
If I had seen polls of NJ, MD, IL, so on, and noticed a -10% drop in her vs him, I would have been sounding alarm bells everywhere. But I'm guessing those polls didn't account for lack of enthusiasm in non swing states did they? How do you poll enthusiasm in a reliable blue state, and correlate that with enthusiasm in swing states?

Ah, but you see, virtually none of what you said is actually true.

Who was? Certainly not this board. His condition was denied in the strongest way. It wasn't until the debate until most saw the light. But no anger towards those who knew it and hid it from the voters.

And that same media is going to blame lots of disaffected voters for not choosing more wisely. But they shoulder lots of blame in sane-washing his rhetoric.

Correct. Billionaire Bros who own papers and MSM now knew they would make more profit if Trump won. They elected him with free coverage in 2016 and sane washed the Nazi right out of hime.
