    Did it happen due to fearmongring? fear of losing the patriarchy fear of losing white supremacy fear of dying in ukraine for some reason??? (I have at least seen several strange comments that people would die from kamala harris sending soldiers to Ukraine? which seems like just a typical russian bot thing, but maybe people beilive it)

    oh yea, and voter supression. It’s most likely that kamala won the popular vote, but it’s not like america is democratic…

    Look to the french election, if it was the same first past the post two party system there, then the far-right would be in control, instead - the left wing alliance is the biggest party now.

      Harris lost the popular vote. It happened because Dems have no actual idea of what Americans live through, what they’re currently talking suffering through, no idea what they want.

      I mean they keep pushing right thinking that’s why Trump won… But it’s simply not. Trump acknowledging American suffering is why. Exclusively.

      If one party is telling you you’re stupid and the economy is doing great and you’re better off than you’ve ever been; and the other party is acknowledging you’re actually suffering more than you have in any non pandemic year… You’re going to distrust the first party and give the second the benefit of the doubt, or at least distrust the first party.

      If Dems stopped being smug, arrogant, right wing assholes and at least acknowledge the problems Americans face, they’d get a lot more votes. Promising to continue Biden’s terrible domestic policies while lying to the American public about shit the American public is living through… That’s a guaranteed loss.
