He had one awkward encounter in a Valdosta donut shop and that allowed us to skim over the fact that he's actually been an even more effective communicator for Trump than Pence was. The Hillbilly Elegy guy is actually going to be in the White House, yall. We were so sure that he'd be repellent to swing voters with his couch fucker vibes and he actually did no damage to Trump's viability at all. *** jd vance
Vespertine Posted November 6 Posted November 6 9 minutes ago, Relampago. said: No one gaf about Palestine this election tho. I mean they should have done it for morality and vibes reasons, but it literally didn't even register in anyone's minds at all. A total non-issue. I personally know many people who did not vote this election, but would have if either candidate had a good position on Israel/Palestine. That will never be captured by any polling, of course, since they can't exit poll non-voters, but I really think it's crazy to say no one cared. Everyone is talking about demographic swings while ignoring the millions of voters who declined to vote at all for one reason or another. 3 1
on the line Posted November 6 Posted November 6 6 minutes ago, FameFatale said: He was a US house member that got screwed over because of redistricting. He's pretty popular on Tiktok. He gives his recaps in general terms about what's going on in congress and the state of politics. Gen Z seems to like him. Only bad thing they turned on him because he voted for the Tiktok ban when his main platform is the app. I think they like him again, I don't know. Gen Z is as fickle as Tik Tok trends. Glad we can finally say it.

If nothing else, it would have helped Harris to show differentiation from Biden. But Palestine wasn't a winning issue this time around, not that it would have hurt to try to move left there. 1

Supporting Vance? My lord, one would have to have zero reading compression skills if they truly think that I support JD Vance. I HATE him, but I'm coming to the realization that actually, ATRL was just out of touch all along. If JD Vance was toxic to Trump, the votes wouldn't have been what they were. Trump won the POPULAR VOTE. By definition, WE, as in all of us on ATRL who laughed at the couch jokes, are extremely out of touch with the electorate and took a big fat L as a result. And underestimating JD Vance could be a huge mistake in 2028. 1

There's just not a lot pointing at this being the issue that would have saved the democrats. Anecdotes are great, but they don't provide anything useful. I think it would have been a good idea to move left on Palestine so Harris could have shown difference between Trump/Biden, but it wouldn't have changed anything. 1

Thuggin Posted November 6 Posted November 6 People saying before that this election could be the end of the Republican Party as we know it when it's looking like the end of the Democratic Party The only hope I have is that this creates intense, unified backlash to make either the Democratic Party or some other party stronger than ever before to wipe out Republicans in 2026 or 2028. People need to experience the danger of Trump's presidency without anyone to temper his worst impulses I suppose. 1 1

He is being primed as a very competent successor for MAGA to latch onto. And he isn't a narcissistic imbecile like Trump, so I think personally that he's much more of a threat than we want to believe. 1

Yep, if they didn't vote then they don't really get counted in the list of reasons why people did vote. If the majority of people voted are standard repubs, then standard repub talking points are going to be highlighted in exit polls
Lightbringer007 Posted November 6 Posted November 6 if congress had remained blue I wouldnt be as devastated with trumps win (still wouldve, but it wouldve lessened) but this is just insane beyond words 1
jakeisphat Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I'm trying to decide why Kamala has waited so long to concede. In 2016, Hillary was trying to hold on for dear life and Obama eventually had to call her at 2am and force her to call Trump. Kamala was performing even worse than Hillary at 2am but has decided to wait until right before her speech to say anything.

St. Charles Posted November 6 Posted November 6 2 minutes ago, ClashAndBurn said: The Democrats literally emasculated JD Vance and called him a couch fucker on live television. Tim Walz made it a punchline at the DNC to raucous laughter and applause. But for the electorate, it has provably gone over like a lead balloon. JD Vance's favorables even went from a massive deficit to breaking even after the VP debate. I'm not just pulling random anecdotes out of my ass here. I really do think we read the public perception of Vance completely wrong and we look completely deranged to the general public after the genuinely deranged things that were insinuated about him. If anything, it fuels the victim complex white men have about being shunned from society. Chasing the young 4chan incel vote paid off, as much as we made fun of Trump for it. I get what you're saying, but this election doesn't seem like it came down to who the vice president was. The goal of the VP is to make the president look good, have a relatively clean political career (aka no dirt to dig up), and to soak up some votes the President might naturally miss. Anything else they do is kinda irrelevant. I personally think Kamala probably would have lost regardless of who Trump picked as VP. Literally almost every single voting demographic was worse this time. Some are saying she wasn't left enough, like with Palestine and domestic social issues. Others are saying she was too left with the capital gains tax. Some say she needed a VP from a swing state. Others say it's because Biden dropped out too late in the race. There's so many things we can pick from and there's not really a way to back any of it up at the moment. So right now, it seems like everyone is chiming in with their "see, it was ___ all along!" when really we have no idea. If we did, many of us would not have been so confident about her winning.
