ChrisV is never allowed to start the gameday thread again.
The good news from tonight is that now we know Americans really want ACTUAL leftism, so weâll be sure to see organized labor, gender equality, racial equality, love of immigrants, LGBTQ+ equality, a free Palestine, and the destruction of the military industrial complex in the next election, if we ever have one.
Incredible. I think youâre probably too stupid to realize how bad this post is as any kind of refutation
Where did you get that from? If anything they want the total opposite. An ultra conservative country without any non white immigrants and an authoritarian strongman who will go after their enemies.
Yeah, Iâm not sure either. Harris ran what seemed like a good campaign, had higher favorability ratings, the vibes, etc. And sheâs possibly going to end up doing worse than Hillary.
At first glance, I wonder if this result is really just mostly about the baseline environment. People are mad about inflation and continue to be enthralled by fascism, the end. I donât know how much candidate quality or messaging even mattered. I wonder if weâre in an era where anger is the primary motivating factor in elections.
People have gotten used to getting everything they want instantly and effortlessly, and they want that from politics too, even though itâs not possible. So when incumbents canât deliver ponies, or when something bad happens and life gets hard (covid, inflation), people get mad and the incumbent party gets voted out. The only major exception recently was the 2022 midterm, when people were mad about something else (Roe being overturned).
I assumed he was being sarcastic
My brother texted me that he thinks that the remaining surplus of German trade with the USA really is the stuff the USA cant do without and their will soon be peace in Ukraine. Oh boy. Its getting to a point where I have to avoid almost all discussions with my family and be happy when its time to leave and we still talk to each other.
All the analysis is backwards. Harris lost because the economy is amazing. That allowed people to focus on tribalism and crypto and womenâs sports.
Fireworks in my Portland neighborhood right now. The Portlandia kind of neighborhood.
All that was needed was to beleive Selzer was correct and that some Tech bros from Brazil (Atlas) were wrong. Guess the tech bros won this one.
This is so brutal, itâs hard to believe this is reality.
The bolded certainly seems to be the primary motivating factor in folks posting in this thread. 
âMake America Garbage Again!â
20% of voters in this election donât give a shit about elections. They will not be there in 2026. For them itâs like UFC, a spectator sport that is only about winning, nothing larger.
Fuckign Trump babbling on, thereâs no way I watch that shit.
The United States, a country that chooses fascism even when times are good. At least Germany sort of had an âexcuseâ in that things were not going well
Well done america. You guys had one job!
This sucks, if anyone is interested in the next plans for #resistance you probably know how to contact me in some way. good luck everyone, please take care of yourselves.
Waking up tomorrow will be like: âWhy do I feel like complete shit? Oh yeahâŚâ
