Nah, the outcome of the elections was probably determined a year ago. And the fact the billionaire class threw their weight behind Trump, made sure she never had a real chance.

It was determined in 2020. Biden only beat Trump because of covid-19, and was never going to solve the fundamental economic problems that are causing unrest.

And this made it arguably worse cause now they had 4 years to prepare between shifts.

She didn’t have a chance as soon as she gave up trying to convince her base to vote FOR her. Biden got ten million more votes because he lied about reforming the cops, dealing with Covid, not doing genocides in the Middle East, etc. Harris could have fucking lied about those things and won.

Well. And the fact that Biden apparently lied about something that would really kick off in the future shows he had clairvoyance.

But yeah the Dems where not trump, and gave up on arguing things like migration, conceding these points to Trump. And constantly blaring the economy is great while many Americans are hurting bad shows sanders was right. They abandoned the working class. The working class then thought.. well at least maga will do something.. let's hope this time it trickles down.

I'll just wonder how the electorate will fare under trump.. I fear worse.

Much worse. Everything Trump has talked about is inflationary and anti worker.
