they had all the reasons not to vote for one candidate but no reasons to vote for the other... it should come to absolutely no surprise, and yet i am disappointed

what do you want to know? my height, hobbies, quirks, the color of my underwear?
okay but if we're wanting to blame someone, we should probably start with the people who actually voted for him in spite of (or in many cases, because of) all the reasons not to

yes that will always be mind-boggling for sure. but many people abstained from voting. i feel there were concrete reasons to vote for the other candidate, even if she wasn’t ideal to some. i think there’s a lot that went wrong, in the end, though at this point i feel numb. what’s wrong with this country is deeper than these initial thoughts. (i won’t reply more, sorry if this is derailing the thread)

if you pretend using your inhaler is actually taking a hit of a blunt then you will feel cooler and also have working lungs . anyways guess who left their inhaler at home today and had to, as the kids say, "take a hit" upon getting back

yes, its easier to rationalize the results if you look at the numbers. compared to the previous election roughly 10 million americans did not show for the democratic candidate. gen x swung more red than any generational shift in the mid century mark. perception about the economy and immigration drove the working class to the right. unless you're a joe rogan bro, gen z didn't vote at all.

its exactly how bernie said. the democratic national committee and their neoliberalism policies abandoned the working class decades ago. now the working class has abandoned them, because understandably (albeit foolishly) right-wing populism is better than the current status quo.

their candidate was given a unique blank slate and they fumbled it. if they had run more progressively on left-wing ideas (like student debt relief and raising the minimum wage gap) they would've won it. instead they slapped their base across the cheek by embracing moderate republicans.

not to get r/political on p2 but i think its important not to blame any one voter base. this is entirely on the dnc.
