We have yet another example of the conservatives having only short term gain and quick profits on their mind. Turner and the liberals were right when they said that we have been building this country east to west for a century plus, and that we should have continued doing so. And now we are seeing Turner’s predictions coming true, and a conservative sold us the fuck out and took the easy way Instead of nation building.

      she didnt give people a reason to show up for her.

      Her opponent was Donald Trump. That’s it. That’s the reason.

      If it was Kamala Harris vs Nikki Haley I’d get it. But this wasn’t establishment Democrat vs establishment Republican. It was establishment Democrat vs actual fascism.

          I 100% agree with you. What a lot of Kamala voters don’t realize is that there were a lot of people who WANTED to vote for Trump. They weren’t voting for Trump because he wasn’t Kamala, they were actually motivated to get out and vote for their guy. Kamala didn’t even try anything to get people to come vote for her other than, “I’m not Trump.” Learn a goddamn lesson Democrats.

          JFC, no, no it isn’t. This is exactly the point I’m making, this is exactly the reason kamala lost. The majority of the population doesn’t give a shit about politics and is uninformed and they dont bother understanding the political landscape.

          In that case, it didn’t matter who the Democratic nominee was, Trump would have won.

          If “being a literal fascist” isn’t enough to motivate someone to vote for the only other candidate, then it doesn’t matter who this other candidate actually was. Trump would still be the victor.

              Child, most voting americans dont know wtf fascism even fucking means.

              In that case Trump would have won no matter the Democratic nominee. All Trump had to do was state “price of eggs” and win.

              Stop thinking you can wave the word around have it make your argument for you. Kamala could gave easily won if she made an strong case for how she was going to improve peoples lives at home and not make people feel like they were contributing to genocidal slaughter.

              And now they get to feel like that they’re contributing harder to genocidal slaughter, annexing three countries, and let Ukraine be annexed by Russia. Good job to them. Granted:

              The majority of the population doesn’t give a shit about politics and is uninformed and they dont bother understanding the political landscape.

              so they might not realize anyway.

              Trump is a mess people like yourself have made by being completely fucking blind to the reality around you.

              Last I checked I’m Canadian, so no.

              The voters for trump like fucking trump.

              Many voters for democrats hate the fucking Democrats.

              In that case Trump would have won no matter the Democratic nominee.
