The guy won with less than 50% of the vote. Place the blame where the blame lies. Those who voted for Trump....either out of greed or ignorance. White women who voted for Trump are the ones I really, really, really, really, can't understand. The uninformed or lazy thinkers are to blame. Seriously? Egg prices? What a hoax that they bought into Trump's "old women who put an apple back in the refrigerator at the grocery store because of prices?" He thinks he made up the word "groceries." Shame on those who voted for him! We must stop blaming the democrats who cast their vote for his opposition.
The white women in my family are just as racist as the men. They want all brown and black people forcibly removed from our country. They know Trump is shit. But he hates the same people they do. They also boast of being Christians, and attend church every Sunday. I want nothing to do with any of them.
The Dem leadership made a number of fatal mistakes, the first being not making sure Biden stepped down in time for there to be a real primary. The Dem leadership also does not appear to understand many of the Trump supporters. The Dem leaders seem to have thought that if they only showed how awful Trump is, he would lose. The Dems do not understand that for many of Trump's base, the cruelty and flouting reason IS the point. For others it's the economy, stupid, NOT a comparison between Harris and Trump. Starting in 2023 when Biden failed to announce he would not run again, I knew Dems would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. That didn't take 50 years of Carville's experience, just a knowledge of human nature. FYI: I'm an independent leaning left and voted for Harris. Although I knew she would lose, to me that was the conscientious choice.
Come on....this must stop. This is NOT about Dems' mistakes. This is about people not doing their homework. Trump is not fit to be a leader of anything much less the US of America. Nor is JD Vance. This is about racism, sexism, and straight up ignorance. Jesus Christ could not have beaten Trump in this election because Trump would have found a way to make him look "little" and weak. Who in their right minds could vote for a man who calls people names (he's undignified...he's a criminal, a sexist, he can't form sentences, and he's a lying bigot). Need I say more? I am so tired of Democrats blaming Democrats for being civil. Biden has been the most successful leader of our times. He's done more for America than anyone in our life time. We need to stop blaming the person who does the right thing and does his job. We need to stop blaming people (voters) for not retaliating. We should NOT behave like the crazy MAGA bigots who act violently and are serious followers of the criminal. Place the blame where the blame lies....people who lack the morals to do the right thing. C'mon.
You make a number of very good points. And while this IS about racism, sexism, and straight up ignorance, it's also about different cultural values. Those are generally not changed by people "doing their homework." Ex: while I believe abortion should be legal under almost all circumstances, doing "homework" -- whatever that means -- isn't going to change someone's cultural belief that the fetus is a fully formed human who has rights that supercede those of the mother.
Moreover, Biden did not do the right thing, which was to keep his word about being a "bridge" president. And I am placing the blame where the blame lies, which is a number of places, INCLUDING Biden whose ego and hubris -- if not his lack of morals -- led him to not do the right thing.
I disagree, and that is ok. When I say "do one's homework" I mean look at outcomes, track records, accomplishments, and comparing that to rhetoric. Yes, Biden did campaign on being a transitional president. I can also recognize that he was extremely successful in doing his job. He was WINNING on outcomes: infrastructure, G-7, G-20, Oil Production, Social Reform programs, Climate issues and he was able to do it with bi-partisan support. His economic performance in our country was the envy of the world. Yes, the price of eggs is high. There is inflationary pricing going on and there is corporate greed. It is proven that union job accessibility has improved and I could go on an on. On day 1, he proposed a immigration policy that drug on and on as well. The republican Speaker of the House killed the bi-partisan bill. I would venture to say that most "winning coaches/leaders" would have a hard time stepping back when they are at the top of their game...Biden was at the top of his game in performance and outcomes. It is so easy for us to condemn others from our arm-chair warrior position. In the end, just under 50% of America said they want a criminal, bigot, sexist, rambling, dysfunctional lying grifter to run the country....someone who sells golden sneakers, Trump bibles and flags, virtual playing cards....etc. He's a bully. End of story. My support will stay with the Democrats. Let's not fall to the queen bee syndrome of killing our own. Let's move forward.
I stood in line a long time to vote straight blue! If more did the same we might not be in this Trump cesspool.

I hope they "understand" that there is no WHITE Jesus.
Absolutely!! We must stop blaming democrats, period. We have to be a unified force to fight this.

Oh me too. The Trump circus spectacle is quite disgusting.
