It's fine to be concerned. But the extreme worst case scenarios that has been spelled out here are just rhetorics. We haven been through this in 2016 and his presidency wasn't even half as bad as people described it to be. I am just saying that maybe the Democrats should think about why people are now leaning right instead of telling people the bad things that would happen…

im all for facts and change.

 

i believe the fear/rhetoric u speak of is much greater than just trump winning. him winning normalizes and sets the tone for future candidates and how the world operates – which is the scary part.

Biggest FLOPS

 

1. Latinos

2. Gen Z

3. White Men

4. White Women

 

 

A Young(40-45) Man with Latino heritage will be the ideal guy for 2028 mefears

It will have to be a Caucasian man. Maybe even a light skin black man. Both will have to be young and charming af. Latinos are too divided to support their own. Latinos support their own nationality (Cuban, Mexican, Argentinian, Venezuelan, Colombian, etc.) but look down at the others. Just a mess!

 

 

We need another Obama YES WE CAN!!! Type energy in the new phase of the party. Preferable if he had a cute country twang so we can sway some of the Morgan Wallens.

I met him randomly while walking to work. Nice dude. He should never run for political office again. He has the political instincts of a napkin.

An incredible result in 2018 for him though and because he still lost, it isn't given enough credit for what he did to Texas here.

 

And while I know it was complete election poison, him saying "hell yes we are going to take your guns" was a fantastic moment to see from our party. We need more of the bluntness, just maybe about other issues 

[RunUpDoneUp]

One funny thing people wanna ignore is how Biden and Kamala BOTH acquiesced to the trump narrative of immigrants causing massive issues that affects the daily lives of Americans. She went on TV and basically endorse trump's immigration platform her damn self, so...

 

Liberal kowtowing is never the move.

 

Also no one expected latinos to be the new class traitors the way they did. I know I damn sure didn't expect it.

Democrats - *offer voters a choice between liberal populism that caters to subsets of affluent voters vs reactionary populism that caters to the opposite subset of affluent voters*

 

Y'all - And yall think progressives would win??

 

This election proves that the far right is going to win when the options are between the far right and the center right. 

no it wouldn't ******* work, it isn't a pre trump era anymore when we all went out for Bernie, he also didn't help with his idealism by dropping out during covid and letting biden take it.

 

Why do you ignore the people in front of your eyes saying Kamala was too progressive, too emotional, too liberal? Something trump and his supporters have said and had been pushing for years about the party? What's the story with Latinos voting in droves for trump? about Muslims and Arabs that voted in droves for trump?

 

You all stayed home with your nice apathy or voted trump lbh.

the system in America has gravitated to far right Nazism and has been building to that since Obama's 2nd term. People hated we had a black person as a president, and media pushed hard how he was an illegal, how he did everything the wrong way, how him and the libs are ruining America.

 

There is never nuance in your posts, not even after we lost like you've been pushing for and are starting a world war in months

Latino men, first and foremost.

 

Followed by the candidate herself for causing massive base drop-off compared to 2020.

I'm sorry, but Sara, Joy, and Alyssa were giving delusion. Sunny was the only one realistic about the disaster this really is.

Our business partners are Cuban.. just imagine the monstrosities I have to read this morning. The worst thing so far: he chose JD for a reason he's young and has great ideas that are actually logic and normal 💀. and it's just 10 am…..

It kinda would be a kii to see Kamala still somehow sneak in as the first female president even with these election results, and all the Trump 47 branded items getting trashed.

It's significant and obviously Democrats have a lot of issues to figure out, but it's not much different than when Obama won trifecta in 2008 and McCain lost a good chunk of votes compared to an unpopular Bush the cycle before.  

McCain losing was expected BECAUSE of Bush and they were able to reorganize through anti-black hate-mongering and moving extremely far right. 65 million+ Americans are completely blindsided by this result, and their only reaction will be that they need to chase the Republicans to the right and embrace their status as the neocon party of Dick Cheney (which George W Bush couldn't even be bothered to endorse).

 

idk, the postmortems already seem to be spelling out the direction the Dems are heading in response to this crushing and unexpected defeat.
 

Let me put it this way. My being a nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns is already being pushed by Morning Joe as the reason for Kamala Harris losing. They are THE premier morning show for the beltway. Joe Biden's personal favorite, in fact.

Well, some of us saw the swing happening. RGV in Texas is a great place to notice these changes, and they were making noticeable moves to the right in the 2020 election.

I was literally thinking of the gun comment when I was making that post. I ended up deleting it not to rehash it, but yes. That was a terribly stupid decision.

Being POTUS for 20 days is just sad

The issue with SCOTUS is so wild to me. Kamala had such an easy opportunity to constantly bring up the 3 SCOTUS justices and the decisions they've made, but never fully hit the messaging the way it should have been. I remember being downvoted here during the Kamala town hall because Kamala was asked about Supreme Court reform and she didn't specifically state the dangers of Trump being in control of SCOTUS and I said her response was a bad answer. 

It feels like such a layup in explaining basic civics and how our judiciary holds basically unchecked power handed to them by whatever party has the most appointees. My explanation to people even when Biden was coming out as a mask off Zionist that I'd begrudgingly vote for him because of SCOTUS, not POTUS.

I would have to look back at the very initial responses to Republican election losses in the 00s. While a lot of DNC members will be quick to wrongly blame trans people or black people as the reason for the loss, I'm hoping a far left movement can come up the same way the far-right movement was born in the late 00s.

No. If anything this shows you Latinos are Latinos biggest enemies. They don't care about seein themselves winning. They gravitate towards white acceptance and approval. It'll have to be white men… Latinos are machistas and can't Stand to see women in power.

if you didn't expect it, you just weren't looking. Latinos have been growing into this mentality for a very long time and it's true what someone here said: they rather backstab their people to get rid of other minorities and because they think Trump will lower their egg prices
