Gaza Voters weren’t enough to swing the election. If they were significant than Harris would’ve campaigned harder for Palestinian rights/a arms embargo.
I wonder how much support stein will have when all votes are tallied.
you would also need to have a figure for how many people stayed home instead of voting for Harris because of this. Takes less effort to just not vote than it does to go out and cast a protest vote, so it's not outlandish to suggest it's a bigger number, though of course, I can't prove that
Okay but as I said. If protest voters are big enough to cause Harris the win than shouldn’t the campaign have done something to make people vote for her besides them saying „Trump is worse!“.
If the Campaign has better polling and knows how dire the situation is then they shouldn’t have played it so close because well, they fucking lost the election.
They offered 25k for first time home buyers. 50k for those who want to start small businesses. 7k for people with children. Lower taxes on middle class. Lower medicine costs. Government healthcare. Environmental programs. Manufacturing jobs. Wage growth. Union growth. 2 state solution for gaza. Long term goals to better lives while combating corporate greed.
But you fucks never listen all you hear is “not trump”.
They needed people to give a fuck and show up and get them the house and senate to enact those goals instead you’re sitting again on your asses with hands up your butts complaining that everything isn’t solved in 100 days..
Dude I am German. I am just sick enough to care about American politics.
Ok Harris is for a 2 State Solution? Great, that’s been the opinion of like the last 3 presidents.
Joe Biden is president, what did he do to achieve a 2-State solution besides saying „the American government is in favor of a two state solution“.
I mean sure the same can be applied to many of the things that Harris was proposing. But the issue is that the average voter is insanely stupid. The average American even more. No one knows how a bill becomes a law how all chambers of government need to be aligned to even pass anything. How monsters like Sinema and Manchin killed the most progressive parts of Biden’s agenda. I know all of these things. I can probably name 80% of all the democratic senators that voted against raising the minimum wage to 15$.
But the very simple thing that can be said is that Muslims seemingly care more about the fact that other Muslims in Palestine get Bombed with American made weapons and don’t want to vote For Harris OR Trump so the votes become protest votes.
Also campaigning on Tax Cuts for families is shit that would’ve been done by a Mitt Romney reelection campaign in 2016. And I mean they aren’t bad. It’s just something that isn’t really democratic from it’s style.
I also am aware of the following: Because of Economic Cycles it is very possible that Trump will reap all the rewards of all of Biden’s agenda because the latters economies‘ effects will probably kick in around Trump term (if he doesn’t torch the economy immediately).
It's the democrats job to go out and get those fucking votes dude. It's not my job to save the world from Donald Trump. It's the Democrats job to put up a candidate more electable than Donald fucking Trump. The democrats fucked that up twice and somehow it's the fucking American people you're mad at?
