Anyone with the slightest sense of empathy or self-interest should look at Trump and think "It would behoove me keep that out of power."
They should've, yes. And yet more than half of this country did not.
I urge you to think more critically about why this happened. The margin by which we lost cannot be attributed to a few leftists making memes.
The margin lost by, along with the strong campaign run by Harris (the people complaining are the people voting Dem), and Trump's DISASTER of a debate, makes me think nobody could have beaten Trump.
Centrists have flocked to Trump as the "strong" candidate, they're low information, they have short memories, and they just want someone they can easily trust/blame for their economic issues.
Not only that, but trans "issues" are in Republican favor when they use scare tactics and not just a questionnaire. They went hard on that in ads because they know it works.
No, 2008 Obama ran a strong campaign. Inspiring voters with a message of hope and change is strong campaigning.
Going on the View and saying you would do nothing differently than Biden, when Biden was so unelectable he had to be replaced immediately before the convention and when 60% of the country thinks things are on the wrong track, is not strong campaigning.
She never differentiated herself from Biden, she ran immediately to the middle, and she campaigned with unpopular Republicans. She chose to represent the status quo and voters rejected it.
