It’s like you were talking about in San Francisco. The white parents encourage it.

How does it even work? Do they not make the kids take baths/showers and instead they just lick themselves? Do they eat cat food? Crap in a sand box?

damn these polls are close

nail-biter!

Do parents just no longer exist? Who the hell lets a kid pretend to be a cat all day long? 

I am sooooooooooo happy I didn't have kids.

The parents exist, they're the ones the Dems pandered to.

I can see their 2028 campaign slogan already...

So in other words: Harris owns all the loony left stuff she did not support. But Trump does not own Project 2025. Did I get that right?

In the minds of voters, yes.

The key difference is that project 2025 has not been implemented, but the world has had a decade to see the leftist social issues become an institutional force. And they don’t like it.

If Trump does implement project 2025, and it’s unpopular with tangible real world results that touch the voters’ day to day lives, with crazy things like roving bands of looters and dudes in dresses raping girls in their bathrooms, then the GOP will be face similar stigma.

Well I, for one, hope Trump gets exactly what he wants. All of it. Elections have consequences.

It's the truth. You all want to tiptoe around the elephant in the room (or in your case never say one "positive" thing about Dems)... which is that the political demographics in this country have done a 180. Democrats are now the more informed and more educated party when it comes to policy debate and they're going about their business like nothing has changed. They don't know their audience anymore. They used to be the party of the working class and had to try to convince educated, white suburban voters to vote for them. Now, Democrats are basically the party of the top 1%. The data shows it. The more money you make the more likely you are to have voted for Kamala. 

I'm not going to sit here and be sorry or pretend that I'm not more informed than an average Trump voter. But I'm not running for office either. And if I was I'd have to pretend to be something I'm not... and THAT is why Democrats are losing. The party doesn't work and message doesn't work anymore for the modern day electorate. 

Laughable. The dems rely on the poorly educated urban centers. Its all they held on to against a horribly corrupt gop candidate. Your ego is exactly what keeps you losing.

You're not going to gaslight me, dude. . The unemployment rate when Biden took office was 6.4% and the country was, at the time he took office, down 9.3M jobs from the year prior. And just to dispel the insanely hilarious notion even further that things were peaches and cream and totally back to normal, the months of November and December in 2020 had a grand total of 25k jobs created. Of course Biden is going stimulate the economy.

So, no, you may be able to intentionally mischaracterize and pretend reality didn't happen and get away with it with some other people on here but it it's not going to be me.

You shouldn't, because you're right. Accoring to exit polling, the perception of the economy was the main reason given, especially among those with lower levels of income and education.

Voters who were focused on the economy ended up breaking hard for Trump. Those who said inflation was the most important factor for their vote were almost twice as likely to support Trump over Harris, and about 6 in 10 voters who said the economy and jobs were the most important issue facing the country were in his camp.

The political divide between higher-income and lower-income Americans was stark, with Trump gaining slightly among voters whose household income is less than $100,000 per year, while Harris held steady with voters who make more than that.

John Oliver is funny, but he suffers from the same issue as most super progressives -- he drastically overestimates the number of people who embrace his ideology.

Always hilarious to me when foreigners tell us what we should be when their countries have gone to hell

That used to be true, but that trend began to break in 2016 and has rapidly accelerated ever since. Just over a third of Trump voters have a degree, while half of Harris voters do. If you have data that conflicts with what I just posted, feel free to share it.

It doesn’t matter what she said. She’s a Democrat and everyone rightly identifies the Democrat Party with social insanity.

Yes of course every POTUS candidate distances themselves from their party’s vanguard, just like Trump said he wasn’t interested in project 2025, and the left still tried to beat him over the head with it.

Also the campaign doesnt exist in a vacuum. Her comments on sex changes for prisoners killed her and rightfully so

I really didn't believe it either.  I coached the 11u Pop Warner football team this year (basically all 6th graders) and verified that my boy wasn't messing with me.  There are no litter boxes or sand boxes at the school...yet.  I'll ask my boy if they smell bad after work and report back.  That should give us a good idea if they bathe or lick themselves to clean.

Did you see their other ads?

It was the single worst ad campaign in the history of politics. It was so bad I almost made a thread on it before the election.

It was like if you had the most flamboyant gay man in the Democratic Party meet with the most finger wagging nag of a feminist in the Democratic Party, gave them an unlimited budget, and told them to reach out to straight men.

I would argue Hillary's was worse but...

It is really funny to hear the right-wing harp on the Harris campaign for being too far left. That is what the Trump campaign told you. In reality, Harris was courting moderate Republicans, she did not run on trans-issues (not a single trans-speaker at the DNC)...

In reality, the ultra-left is skewering Harris for courting right-wing votes, for not supporting Palestine. For not taking up the issues they care about. 

That's the fine line democratic candidates always have to walk. Bottom line is if groceries and gas were cheap, she would have won.

I have a kid in middle school too, and have seen enough about what happens in their text message threads to know that these stupid ass clowns take pictures of literally everything that happens before, during, and after school, even when they're in a class that specifically forbids use of a phone, thereby risking it getting confiscated and having to be retreived by a parent. If even a fraction of these furry stories are real, I'd imagine there would be more pictures of them in a school setting. If you can't convince someone cow-tipping isn't real, ask them why there aren't hundreds of videos of it on youtube.
