Election Day November 5,2024

Main culprits in the Dem loss aren't Republicans. The loss is primarily on Biden for deciding to run for reelection in the first place followed by Harris for moving left (ie Walsh pick) when she already had the perception of being too far left and the Dems in general for not comprehending wokeness is intensely disliked by many of the minorities they had relied on (That trans commercial saying she was for They/Them and Trump was for you was extremely effective).

Biden should not have ran. Dems would have had an open race and likely one of the govs would be nominee.

I think Dems won’t pick a woman for a long time. If we do get a female president, it will be a Republican woman.

There’s still a chance Dems win house, which would provide a block on some of the troubling agenda Trump wants to pursue.


I personally believe some of Trump’s agenda will have a negative impact not a positive impact like he thinks. If he gets what he wants and his agenda does have a negative impact; I won’t feel sorry for his voters that are negatively impacted. They voted him in;so deal with it.

Holy shit. You pretty much nailed it here. A big takeaway from this is Biden's decision to run again. That should have never happened at the age of 80. My guess is it's his family that talked him into that bullshit. It was obvious that man didn't need to be running anything, but retired and spending time with his family.

My thoughts on this election.

People want to point to one thing as being the key thing that killed the Dems this election but it really is a mix of factors.


1) Economy. People blamed the Biden admin for inflation, even though it wasn't his fault, much like it's not Trump's fault for covid. Biden/Harris didn't do a good job relaying that information to voters. He was too busy bragging about the bridges being built with the Infrastructure plan.

2) Immigration. A 20 point swing from latino men over to Trump, knowing he wants a mass deportation. Tells me that many of the legal latins here are mad about people jumping the line, while they had to wait their turn. I just hope they don't cry when many of their family members get deported. Biden also fucked up waiting till June 2024 to initiate the executive order that essentially halted the border crossings. Why not in year 1? Dumb move.

3) Perception of wokeness. Dems haven't used the whole pro-noun or defund the police bullshit in a couple years, but that doesn't mean the stench of it hasn't resided. That ad with the they/them was brutal and affective. According to some test panels, it swayed voters in those groups by 2.5%. That's enough to win an election, especially if it's close. Whoever is coming up with this shit need to be fired and never be allowed to work in politics again.


Biden really screwed the pooch running again. My guess it was his family that talked him into this bullshit and his ego wouldn't allow him to just pull out. It had to take the Dem party to yank his ass kicking and screaming to replace him. We better than Pelosi and crew for doing it because this election wouldn't have been remotely close if Biden had ran. There was a reason Trump was begging to have him back. If Biden had stayed, you probably are looking at losing all those 5 swing state senators as well.

Say what you will, but Harris ran a very good campaign giving the fact she was only given 100 days to run it. She pulled up those horrendous numbers to dead even with Trump and did it in only 100 days. Biden just simply waited too late for the Dems to have a chance.

There were two major errors from her and they were major:

1) She said she wouldn't have done anything different while on the View. Her job was to separate herself from Biden, she failed to do that b/c she didn't want to throw him under the bus. It cost her.

2) Her campaign not responding to the Trangender ad. According to reports, Bill Clinton himself told her campaign that they needed to respond to it, and they completely ignored it. Major fuckup.
