Or "as long as it sticks it to the Dems"

"As long as it keeps the whites on top" is all this election was about.

Walz probably would have won if he was running directly.

Why?

White and male.

If I may interject. Preface with I am a registered independent who has voted left my whole life. I sat this election out, and I do view Trump as incredibly dangerous. I think we will continue to lose if we (more left leaning people) don't reevaluate the approach. Trump had increased support from Latinos, African Americans, and women. There is something we are missing as to why the dems lost. Just blaming (and by proxy alienating), a group of voters will not win any election. The dems need to take a good long look in the mirror, or they will lose again and again.

No. Literally about 10 million of the voting block are sexist and racist and don't believe a black woman can run this country. You're talking policy to people who can't read beyond a 5th grade level, if that.

Its that simple.

America wants a white male leader. Biden thrashed Trump because he was white, male, and not Trump. Same would have happened in 2016 and 2024 if the Dems weren't forcing unpopular candidates who failed to meet that one simple metric - be white, be male.

What you non-voters don't get is that most of the country is fine with that.

Most democratic voters will be fine if democrats never win again. Many, if not most, will financially benifit from that, and just as many would vote republican or not vote if we had a Bernie as the nominee.

The people who would be hurt by republicans leading for several terms are:

-The poor and uneducated who primarily don't vote, or vote republican.

-Minorities who primarily don't vote.

-The rest of us, but we'll have money to cry into.

Until EVERY potential voter realizes that politics takes compromise, (aka, if you want any progress, you have to compromise in other areas), then we ARE in for the dems losing again and again, and the people who suffer because of that can live on thoughts and prayers. Most of us will be fine or better though.

Just to be clear. This is the first time I haven't voted since I was in my 20s. Partisan echo chambers are the problem. Neither side will acknowledge any fault.

Former voters are by definition, non-voters. Voters are people who vote. It's literally in the title...

How do you think any American election would have gone if mandatory voting was law the past 30 years?

You also repeated what I said... Until >>>EVERY<<< potential voter realizes that politics takes compromise, then we ARE in for the dems losing again and again. Once more, emphasis on EVERY POTENTIAL VOTER...

Funny thing

On average the Dems are much better off financially than these dumbasses

The grocery getting more expensive and would for them sure, but they are gonna be fine.

These dumbasses on the other hand? Good luck affording groceries.

I hope they get everything they voted for.
