So why did they win?
  • All good points but something that I don't see talked about more is how many Reps voted Early/Absentee this election. In 2020, early voting was 44% Dem with 30% Rep . In 2024, the percentages were almost dead even. I think Democrats saw the early voting results and wrongly assumed that they'd overwhelming go Dem because they did in the past. Because of this, Democrats were expecting a blue surge at the end to help balance out red votes early in the night. This did not materialize.

    Other than that, it's a million small things that any competent campaign could've avoided. Don't alienate the Muslim community, hammer actual policy positions in your questions, have an actual primary instead of a rigged process, etc etc.

  • Can't find the megathread so here's my hot take:

    Cashew milk is straight garbadge, just drink soy, oat, or almond. Cashew just takes like cashes and water, not even close to being creamy enough.

    USians, how long could you go without learning who won the election?
  • If you live in a republican state, probably -2 hours since if it's even a bit close you'll be drafted into the new state militia and forced to fight federal troops.

    If you live in anywhere else, either 5 minutes or never depending on if you're asleep when the nuclear bombs go off.

  • Mr Beast apparently my have lied about paying for 1000 eye surgeries.
  • The video was posted 8 months ago back in February. It just got recognized by a few streamers more recently.

    Once again I am asking hexbears users to click on the links and read stuff before forming opinions about things.

  • So the big wet boy only needs to win Pennsylvania, is that right?
  • It was a system never intended to be a Democracy.

    It was designed to balance the needs of a bunch of oligarchical states so they could act as a cohesive unit. They are the bourgeoisie version of the HRE or Greek City states. Instead of the nobility, it was white, wealthy, landowners.

  • "I would like a candidate that won't support and arm an ongoing genocide." "YOU'RE BEING A NAIVE CHILD, FUCK OFF AND DIE."
  • Exactly, the Democratic Party is loudly stating to the left "We don't need your votes to win so fuck off" and then reddit libs scream bloody murder at people for not wanting to vote for them. If you have a problem with the left abandoning Kamala, maybe talk to her campaign who has written them off as unnecessary?

    I'm glad I don't live a swing state so I can vote whoever I want without it effecting things.

  • There's no way they genuinely love him this much
  • Because he was the first in a while to really give red meat to the base. Smarter Republicans view him as a necessary evil in order to rile up support. Then he presided over a relatively okay economy and gave financial support during the pandemic. Most reps view him as a reminder of the pre-pandemic economy who actually tried to appeal to the base. This was done through racism and social issues of course but that's enough.

    There's also something to be said about his anti-charisma. It's like the McDonalds dinner for the football guys that twitter liberals went crazy over. Even though it was pretty weird, the average person still likes their McTreats and liberals shitting on it makes them seem out of touch. Donald Trump's weirdness and anti-charisma reflects the average American. Every attack on his weirdness backfires and mainstream liberals are too brain-broken to try to convince people on policy.

    He broke their brains in 2016-2020 and now he literally can't do any wrong because people hate to admit they were wrong.

  • I love how much of the education method of most anglo schools/universities is just shit to weed out neurodivergents and poors.
  • There's a teacher at our college who forces students to write 1000 word essays. Not around 1000, exactly 1000 words or else it's an automatic zero. This isn't so bad until you have to write on paper with a time limit and you have to fucking count it by hand.

    Literally just ego-tripping bullshit to get people to fail for meaningless mistakes.
