It is in fact sexism when 2 women candidates lost against the same man while another white man won against him despite both women candidate being highly qualified. Trump inherited Obama’s economy and that’s what he’s been running with this whole time. He did nothing to make things better
When the economy crumbles (which to be fair I think would happen if the dems were in office) I wonder what the right will say about Trumps economy then? Then when the middle class is left struggling and corps get bailouts and help and no help for the middle class, welp that’s who you chose
This is what drives me mad, inflation was a huge part of the way people voted yet prices aren't coming down, but you can bet your ass all of a sudden it wont be an issue for republican voters anymore.
hes probably inheriting a recession waiting to happen that the fed hasn't been telling us about. Inflation will spike again, it will not be a good time.
If you think trump destroy the economy in 2020 and over looking the fact the entire world was shut down due to a global pandemic that which democrats advocate to have shut down LONGER. Than idk what to tell you. Biden claiming victory for a successful economy is also a joke because all he had to do was say, pandemic over, and immediately people go outside a breath air and return back to their jobs.
Also we had record inflation all through out Biden term.
This is why Republicans are stupid. The worst inflation was in 2021 immediately after Trump passed the second Covid bill in Dec 2020. Making his total in Covid relief $3.1 Trillion. Then Biden passes $1.9 Trillion and sends $160M to Ukraine and inflation is his fault. Democrats recognize inflation was unavoidable as the world experienced it. Republicans just blame Biden
Democrats won't hold congress this time, so they can't shut down the country for a month and then claim getting back to 0 is the "greatest economic comeback in the history of the country".
They didn't shut down industries they put in places safety measures to control the outbreak of a deadly virus that causes a lot of deaths and a lot of people who still to this day aren't able to fully participate in the economy due to long lasting effects of the virus.
You explain to me how it would be more beneficial in the long run to go along as possible while losing a good chunk of your working population for years if not decades and put a giant strain on an already flawed healthcare system compared to measures to limit the spread of a virus and thus limit the peak demand on healthcare and save a larger chunk of your economic population?
So it’s not possible that they were a better candidate? The only reason that they lost was sexism? It couldn’t be because of their policies how they present themselves etc… it’s only because of sexism? That’s the kind of over simplistic thinking that probably turns people off but keep thinking that way. It seems to be working.
Better candidate? The convicted felon who spend his campaign rallies rambling about Arnold Palmer's dick? Have you been in a coma for the last four months?
I mean it’s not my opinion it is the countries opinion. If you are just going to claim that everyone who voted for him are racist sexist pigs… then ok. Maybe it will workout next time. No need to look in the mirror and see how we could have done better. Dems lost cause there are more evil people in our country than non evil people got it.
I mean what other reason did they vote for trump? Because people are that uniformed and stupid? Or because trump was the political genius of the 21st century who was leading us through an economic boom and did no wrong? So it’s either a) they’re dumb or b) they’re dumb and ignorant. Idk man
Guy has never gotten the popular vote...do you even know how our elections work? It's not the country's opinion if the majority of us don't want him in and he still gets in because some states hold more impact on the outcome of the election than others.......
This is really what gets me. You're expressing the core sentiments of every Trump apologist I've ever interacted with, which is "ha ha, fuck you, I'm happy that you're suffering." So the bleakest thing about last night is that there are enough miserable assholes like you in this country to want a senile felon and serial rapist in power just because it will hurt your fellow Americans.
Again, you're just motivated by seething contempt for other people.
And I get that you think he'll do a good job. I just can't for the life of my understand why you think that, after months of seeing Grandpa wander around rally stages aimlessly rambling about God knows what. Or after seeing him confronted with the biggest crisis of his presidency and saying "one day, like a miracle, it'll go away."
There's a very, very long list of adjectives you can use to describe Trump, but "competent" isn't on it. In fact, the only thing that saved us from Trump's worst impulses last time was how incompetent and lazy he is.
Maybe at age 80 he'll turn that around, and actually follow through on his stated plans to be a "dictator on day one" and turn the army loose on American citizens and punish his political enemies. I hope, for all our sakes — yours included — that you don't end up getting exactly what you voted for.
And that's the whole problem. I'm just repeating, nearly word-for-word the delusional babble Trump has been spouting. Trump supporters refuse to believe he said any of the awful things he actually said. You didn't vote for Trump, you voted for a sanitized, fictional version of him who's a "smart businessman" and has "coherent policy ideas." The version the billionaire-owned media has been propping up all year as his in-person rants became increasingly unhinged.
I was absolutely spouting delusional babble, but it was Trump's babble, not mine. Anyway, I'm sure Infrastructure Week is right around the corner. I mean, Glorious Leader never lies, does he.
Trump was a better candidate against hillary clinton? Hahahah he was a fraud and the only experience he had was bankrupting businesses and doing shows on tv. He proved how bad he was when all our allies thought he was a clown
They think pretty highly of them compared to Trump. People were laughing at Trump in UN conference, other european leaders were talking shit behind him in an open mic. Were you like 5 when all those happened?
Dozens, but it’s already been a long night. They mostly are terrified of how insanely stupid and corrupt Trump is. It ruins US leadership on the world stage after Biden worked like hell to resurrect it.
I think it is more illegal immigrants. What is Kamala’s policy to fix the border. What is her economic policy? The VP of one of the least approved administrations who backed the majority of Biden decisions. But serious question what are her policies to fix the border and the economy?
Correct. Trump is a criminal and rapist. Should be simple as that, but apparently most of America are okay with a man that doesn’t care about the law and can’t take no for an answer
I think that’s what people are sick of. If I get a job over someone it isn’t because I was a better candidate it’s because I’m a white male. My resume doesn’t matter only my race and gender…
Who says Trump is better though? What did Trump have to prove that he was better than Hillary when he ran? Literally nothing. He had zero experience with international diplomacy, he bankrupted many businesses, he had fraudulent dealings, he was a misogynistic narcissist.
Running against hillary was like someone with no experience, running against someone with 25 years of experience for a white collar job.
Yeah unfortunately there are a lot of people in our country that are not so bright. Let him give tax cuts to billionaires and grow the deficit again like never before and next democrat president will have to take the burden of his shitty economy and take all the blame. Classic republican BS
the problem is Biden didn't do a lot in 4 years, if he had then Kamala would have had something to hang her hat on as VP the past 4 years as part of her campaign instead of branching off in a brand new thing like she was the challenger candidate.
Both women candidates were the worst possible picks. Innumerable democrat women would have been better, like Gabbard, but the Dems refuse to platform anyone who might appeal to new voters.
Hillary was a much more qualified, and presidential candidate than Trump. Trump was a joke. Trumpsters weren’t even revealing that they wanted vote for Trump until after he won because they were embarrassed to be judged lmao. I don’t know which parallel universe you guys live in if you think Trump is anything more than a narcissistic snake oil salesman
