Because the Dems ran a lackluster campaign that promised more of the same, telling everyone that the economy is doing great while everyone is struggling. Orange man at least offered hope that things would change. People NEED hope. And with trust of the government at an all time low, with some serious money in media manipulation, this is what we get
... but how it was not obvious to all that orange man was lying, is the bit that gets me.
Because people are struggling and don't donate time to stay informed from reliable sources. They see the story that is pushed to them by social media algorithms... which have been bought
Americans are really goddamn stupid and selfish.
Easier and more accurate answer - The Democrats ran a woman in a deeply misogynistic country
That didn’t help but the core issue there was Harris’s sharp pivot to the right.
Yeah bringing out Cheney was a mistake but her policy platform never pivoted, just the PR stepped away from "identity politics" which all the dumbfuck both sidesers were (and still are) demanding from the Dems. Fuck the both sidesers and all the dipshits that use the term identity politics unironically.
That's when a real leader claps back with "Thye aren't identity politics. They're civil fucking rights."
