Summary
A post-election survey by Priorities USA found that voters in key swing states prioritized economic concerns like inflation over Donald Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
Many did not view Trump as a continued threat to democracy, including key Biden-to-Trump voters.
Efforts by Kamala Harris’ campaign to highlight Trump’s authoritarian tendencies failed to resonate, as Trump’s image as a “successful businessman” persisted.
Democrats underestimated voters’ lack of hostility toward Trump, particularly among younger non-white voters, complicating their strategy in the 2024 election.
I don’t fuckin buy that for a second. Someone here is BSsing
It’s everyone. We are all trying to sell each other our own worldview for some power-jollies and so that we dont feel stupid ourselves.
Won the popular vote by the thinnest of margins, there was no mandate for trump. Congress, too, the tiny-est of margins. More media normalizing of fascist bullshit.
“mandate” is a waffly concept anyway. Mandate or not, they control all 3 branches of government. Anything majority vote, they win across the board.
