This is going to be the "snake ate my face" situation real fast. Republicans push class divide so to keep their voter base uneducated and poor. Seems like they've reached the critical mass necessary. I don't understand any other way they vote someone in who has demonstrated time and again he'll work against their own interests. I understand short sighted single issue greed for the mighty dollar but it is a nonsensical vote for anyone else.

#822I think that Harris was a very poor choice of a candidate. I have no way to know this, but I like to imagine that a better Dem candidate would have led to a different president.
I think the key word in this is "choice", which is what D voters did not get. They got an attempted installation. Installation failed. See error log.

#823More than anything I'm very curious to see what sort of people will be emboldened by this victory.
I've just seen pictures of Trump, Elon Musk and Dana White celebrating together (and being celebrated)
The signal being sent is that this is what masculinity and winning looks like.

#825It's the economy, stupid: -Inflation is not prices; it is the rate of change in prices. Low inflation doesn't imply low prices. -Aggregate statistics don't necessarily explain individual outcomes. The Dems failed on this count massively, and have, for maybe the last 40 years, which is about the amount of time it took for my state to go from national bellwether (As goes Ohio, so goes the nation) to a reliably red stat…

Re: Trump wins presidency for second time
#827FYI, the map looks horrendous for democrats after the 2030 census. Estimates give Texas +4, Florida +3, and various other southern states +1 for a total of +12 on solid red states.
Just a reminder, the census made a mistake and gave extra congressional seats that belonged to GOP to Democrats states.

Wouldn't that have already happened, given that he was already president for four years?
Re: Trump wins presidency for second time
#829Again the DEM party took another opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They should have nominated Mark Kelly. The GOP ran on "this bitch hates America". You can't run on that against a 4 star rear admiral who also went into space.

Meh, I have a PhD in engineering from a top five school and I was in between Dr Stein and Trump.
Some people really loath Biden (me), the Democrats and/or Harris.
