  • In my opinion? No, but I don’t think people pay as much attention to news and politics as I do.

    Most people are just trying to live their lives. Like 2/3 Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They don’t have time to read news either that or they’ve been lied to for so long they don’t give a 💩.

    I’m just saying, at least Trump was talking about the number one issue these voters cared about, while Kamala was saying she couldn’t think of a single thing she would have done differently than Biden. She pivoted to the right and they kept walz in the basement playing video games. She embraced corporate ceos and dick Cheney. She wouldn’t even lie to us about ending the genocide.

    I was willing to vote for Harris if she even lied about ending support for Israel and the genocide, but she wouldn’t even do that.

    Thankfully I live in a blue state and I was able to avoid having to vote for her. I would have if there were any chance she would have lost my state.






  • That’s what I was responding to. Carlos is explaining why more Latino voters voted for Trump than last election cycles. A majority of both Latino men and women voted for Harris though.

    Trump was talking about the economy while Harris was busy pivoting to the right and embracing dick Cheney and her CEO’s

    Harris lost more voters from this pivot than she gained from trying to cozy up to literal republicans.

    Yes, I assume Trump was lying about how he will help people by fixing the economy, but at least he was lying about the issues that these voters had at the top of their list of priorities. Harris wouldn’t even lie to address any issues her base cares about.



  • We can acknowledge that Harris and the DNC really botched this election and discuss ways to makes changes going forward instead of pointing fingers at voters we want to vote on our side.

    But I do hear you. It’s funny how serious we take ourselves here, armchair politicians who have all the solutions. It’s important to remember that it’s ok for us to be wrong about some things and laugh at ourselves. And to take a deep breath, and work towards solutions instead of berating people and pointing fingers. Point to Harris and the DNC. They lost this election and did everything in their power to do so.


  • The crazy thing about accusing Latinos of being sexist or racist is that Mexico currently has a female progressive president who is closer to Bernie than any other US politicians.

    Trump was speaking to the economy, the thing that was highest priority for these voters. He may be lying his ass off, but he was talking about it. Meanwhile, Harris was talking about how happy she was to be supported by her 80 corporate CEO’s and going on and on about it being so exciting to have Dick and Liz Cheney’s support.

    When Walz came into her campaign her lead skyrocketed, but then Kamala pivoted to the right, while Trump continued to talk about the economy. Bad move on her part.




  • I doubt there are a lot of illegal Muslims. Most “illegal” immigrants are from border countries.

    Deporting our DACA immigrants would be really bad for the economy, talk about brain drain and also illegal immigrant workers who contribute more to the economy than they extract.

    The leopards will be eating their own faces. I would need to look up numbers but fairly certain more republicans use illegal immigrant labor than democrats.

    Also, the spite and told you so banter is kind of offensive. “My candidate lost so now you have to suffer the consequences,” it’s very childish and not very thoughtful or helpful.



  • I am not excited about Trump winning but I’m also not so pessimistic as to think the government will be overthrown.

    If I remember correctly there was a long list of different generals and bureaucrats ready to resign if Trump went too unhinged rather than follow unconstitutional orders. He will also be surrounded by generals who I presume have small arms on their person at all times.

    Im fairly certain if for example he tried to use nuclear weapons without proper cause the secretary of defense or a general would punch him in the face rather than follow the order.
