You know what the difference between Harris and Trump is? The difference is that the right actually likes their guy. And when the base likes their guy, that excitement resonates with voters.
Running a milquetoast candidate that nobody actually likes didn't work in 2016. We barely got away with it in 2020, but it should never have been so close. And now that it isn't working this year, should we try to actually learn a lesson here, or would you rather just keep blaming the left for everything?
Do you want to just do the same thing and expect different results in 2028?
I find it amazing that no one seems to have any sense of... well, really, fucking anything anymore. Self-preservation, empathy, pragmatism, whatever. It amazes me that people can sit by and let the place burn around them, and then turn around and say, "Hey, maybe you should've made me want to save myself and my neighbors."
I am just as horrified as you are that more than half the country got excited about a man who's actively aiming to destroy it. But you are blaming the wrong people.
The question I am asking you is, what lesson will you learn from this? If pointing fingers at the left is all you can do, we will lose 2028 too.
Hahaha ha!
2024 was the one that mattered, just like 2000 did.
I genuinely hope the whole left tries to vote for whoever their dumbest choice is next time, I've already got a place in Europe, enjoy your consequences!
Its so very pragmatic to turn on South American and Muslim voters, look at how well we did with that strategy /s
