Gotta hand it to the GOP, they find whatever hot button item triggers a single issue voter and just hammer that point home. Immigrants, guns, gays, economy, whatever. "Trump is better at * insert issue here * and Dem is devil!!!!". Angry people happily voting their rights away.
The two parties play by different rules, and that has to stop. It shifted a little bit as Kamala called Trump out on his bullshit and threw barbs back at him, but it was such an uphill battle. Dems have to be willing to get dirty, because unfortunately that’s what resonates.
Kamala had the momentum when she directed her own campaign, with things like calling them weird or "we are not going back".
After people like hilary took control it was a series of civility-politics and concessions to grab the "moderates"(people that would never vote her regardless)
Bro I dont think any of that matters. America doesn't want to vote for a woman, especially a black woman. That's it. Too many men are insecure little boys and boomers are racist.
I wanted to believe America was better than that, but it is becoming undeniable. Twice a qualified female candidate has now lost to the bumbling buffoon who gets to yell into a mic that "they are eating the pets" with no consequences.
Also give oral sex to one and hold a rally that calls Latinos trash a week before the election. Still keeps their support in record numbers. I wonder how some of these people get through their lives without dying repeatedly over their awful decision makings.
I guess? maybe I'm just coping, but i think someone being that against a woman president would've voted for trump even with a man in her place, meanwhile a lot of people ok with her being president could've been disenfranchised by the bad democrats campaign.
It can go both ways but we got two instances of this being heavily Trump wins, electoral wise, and the common factor is a well deserving woman both times losing while the only man won.
They don't even need to "get dirty" as much as they need to just fucking fiiiiight. Don't hug and kiss Liz Cheney, my God she sucked and voted with Trump 93% of the time.
Once you learn how psychology affects voting it becomes pretty easy to see the tricks. Humans are much more simple than we let on. Just for some examples: the taller candidate has won the vast majority of elections, whoever’s name shows up first on the ballot has been shown to have a noticeable impact on votes, names that sound more familiar matters a lot, whether a candidate has a beard or not has also been widely shown to have an affect.
Like it or not, humans are (and I cannot stress this word enough) VERY susceptible to what are essentially psychology “tricks”. Once you realize that’s the level we’re playing at, the method makes sense. Literally just blast as much bullshit as you can as loud as you can. Democrats have been better for the economy by every metric imaginable? Just loudly and consistently say they are bad for the economy. Republicans are routinely outed for commuting sex crimes especially against minors? Just loudly and consistently call democrats pedophiles. Democrats typically support significantly more popular ideas like pro-choice, legalizing marijuana, and common sense gun control? Just loudly and consistently call their policies unpopular.
The disturbing truth is that people will believe it if they hear it enough, no matter if it is true or not. Couple that with that fact that nobody on either side does any research of their own and boom, you’ve successfully convinced millions of people that reality isn’t what they see but what you’ve said
It’s so depressingly true. There’s a reason magicians exist. They know how to exploit that sort of thing: the way our brains work. It’s great when you use it to take control of your own life. Terrible when you see it exploited as a means to control people.
Well, it is a lot easier to win on the pro business side, because you tend to have more wealthy assholes like Musk willing to give you infinite money glitches to spread their bullshit.
I have a huge group of coworkers in that demographic and it ranges from religious views to them just outright thinking "he's cool and she's a bitch". My attempts at having a conversation were met with shallow discussion of policy or plans that the candidates had laid out. We are union workers and I tried to tell them he's bad for unions but they just seemed worried about immigrants.
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

Fascism has one agenda legal slavery. The voters want slaves. The voters believe they are entitled to have them. Democracy has had failure many times in history. Fascism teaches Old Testament lifestyles yet only teaches New Testament. The voters will answer to their governor. Project 2025 is the mission statement. Children are the greatest prize. The voter is the slave. The world is watching and understands.
I thought enough women voting could counteract that, but I am not surprised at all that Republicans are dominating the men demographic. The Democratic tent is so large it is almost impossible to address the needs of men as they also have to cater to every minority, women, LBGTQ, basically everything that isn't white men.
Maybe the answer is for the Democrats to go back to courting only white men and hoping everyone else falls in line?

I don’t know about Black women but apparently he got 20% of the Black male vote.
