What a great way to make sure no one will ever want to donate to a political campaign again.

This shit here gives you an idea of where the country is headed. I’ve never seen CA vote 70% on anything like this.

I mean, you’ve been pretty vocal about the situation with drug users on the street in SF and that empathy / treatment based solutions don’t seem to work. Is it really that surprising to see a vote like this?

It’s almost like we totally forgot the prison overcrowding crisis we are literally still dealing with from the 3 strikes law - there will be more early releases for minor crimes out of necessity, which makes this law pointless to the point of hilarity unless you get cynical and realize that its intended purpose is to make it easier to imprison the poor/minorities.

honestly though californians skew shockingly right on props and have for a while. Ive said for a long time californians arent nearly as liberal as they like to think they are.

You can’t know that, DUCY

I don’t think Citizens United has much to do with this election. Harris did relatively much better in the swing states (where the campaign was actually visible) than she did elsewhere. Citizens United is not why she only won NJ and IL by 4-5 pts. The issue is the funding of social media and alternative media, which I don’t think campaign finance reform can fix.

Most important issue for voters

Inflation and Jobs and the Economy are just bullshit. Everyone thinks their side is better for the economy. These answers are just people who think that the undocumented are responsible for crazy housing prices and taking jobs. Top three are immigration.

People didn’t vote against Kamala, they voted for this:

And with the SCOTUS the way it is now things might look different when cities try to be sanctuaries and not cooperate with ICE.

I don’t think it’s really giving into their demands as giving in on something that divides a lot of people and falling back to a ground where it won’t be such a big issue. Like affirmative action, saying that we support merit and merit should be color blind is fine to say, that’s ultimately how it’s supposed to go, and more importantly that’s how a good majority of both minorities and whites believe it should go. You reject the identity based things like “only minorities can have the position” but you pair it with “support for those less fortunate”.

Of course we know that the 'supporting opportunities for advancement" is a bit mealy mouthed and not really helping minorities equalize, but nether did an indentitarian focused paradigm either, and one drives away more than the other.

Closer to the right idea. We’re firmly in the vibes era, the only things that matter are projecting strength, confidence and charisma

I mean about the same number of people voted for that as they did in 2020 or 2016. That didn’t really gain votes.

People just didn’t show up for Kamala.

The more I read from voters, the more I’m convinced that entitlement has completely poisoned americans’ brains.

I keep seeing a version of this explanation from swing voters: “What do the democrats offer me? They didn’t …rallies off list of ponies they want… and so I might as well vote Trump and blow it up.”

I really think we’re going to see an incumbency disadvantage going forward, with lots of one term presidents. People are too used to getting everything they want immediately. Long term thinking is dead.

We need more serious counter-bullshit operations. Like actual buildings filled with full-time nerds debunking memes and spreading that shit on social media. Make normies feel stupid and gullible if they start to be enthralled by the cult. Seems doable if we have billionaires on our side and can outspend Trump in the general.
