Ummm…are you forgetting WWII? No one is coming into the country to help us drag them to the Hegue. Of course there will be compromise. The only other scenario is WWIII.

Well, I’m hoping we are a little closer to Franco’s Spain, and things just peeter out once Trump dies.

SCOTUS appointments are the longest lasting consequences of a president being elected, and should be one of the highest considerations. But I guess the price of Doritos and a fucking squirrel won out this year.

Very well stated. Thank you. There were 16 million people that voted in '20 that sat out and wouldn’t vote for either candidate. He got his base to the polls, but that’s it, and did not grow his support at all. Dems lost 10 million votes that came out for Biden (what the hell did the DNC do with the $1 Billion??!?!). That’s not a real mandate.

Thank you. There was no real professional army when the 2nd Amendment and the Bill of Rights was drafted. The Continental Army was disbanded and the militias were where most of our fighting forces came from in the War for Independence. “You will find a gun behind every blade of grass”. That is why the 2nd Amendment was drafted. “Well regulated” ment trained and prepared to fight.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. There is a lot of flak on Hispanics and Black men from the left currently.

Yes, the Republicans were the incumbent party. McCain was dragged down by Bush’s fumble during the Financial Crisis.

I agree with Bernie’s rant today, but he still campaigned and voted against the fascist gaining power. Honestly though, the only state Gaza might have effected is Michigan. America does not care about Gaza. The price of Doritos and a fucking squirrel was more important to most voters.

The MAGA Alt-media and then add Fox is super prolific if not mainstream at this point. They’ve gaslighted so effective that both Black males and Hispanics is shifting toward the GOP. The left would need to equal that push.

I could use someone rubbing my ass in the moonshine right about now…

Sorry, no. 15 million+ people that voted in '20 did not stay home because of Palestine. Jill Stein was the candidate I heard of most from the “Genocide Joe” crowd, and I don’t think she reach 1% in any battleground state. America does not care about the plight of Palestine. Sad truth.

And obviously the unengaged 50% of the country didn’t care or pay attention.

But they won’t understand that. It’s all about feeling instead of logic. Honestly think the deck was stacked against the incumbent this year, just as it was in '20 because of COVID and '08 because of the financial crisis. As the saying goes “It’s the economy, stupid!”

So yes, I totally blame the DNC for being so afraid of polularism that they would basically squander 1 billion in donations for an amazingly ineffective get out the vote effort. Why should I donate to the DNC again?

Ready to become an accelerationist yet? Blah

Dude, Lemmy is not statistically relevant enough to have mattered on this election.

Likely voters is the key. The Never Trump crowd is part of the “likely voters” crowd. If the far-left voted, then Bernie would probably won the primary in '16 or '20. Let’s get through today, and I am right beside you to push to the left!

That was her choice though. But some of those same breaks could have potentially hurt her Never Trump coalition. She made some space with Biden during her Elipse speech, but that was a bit late. That was probably her one misstep in the campaign. Regardless, the day isn’t over, very few counts are in. I think she did well in her campaign all things considered.

Hello from around the corner at NCCU. Keep it Dirty Durham!

It’s a cult of personality. Jack Smith and the Judiciary just needs to step on the gas as soon as the election is called for Harris, get him gone. It’ll be interesting to see where the GOP goes from there, but MAGA will be dead. Would anyone else be happy with your normal everyday NeoCons running the GOP again?
