If you don't understand what happened by now you never, ever will.
colin powell himself might've been the only Black man who could've beat trump, and it would've been difficult. white people voted for themselves yesterday, and anytime they can be galvanized to do that they're going to win. it's the cold, hard math.
it almost begs the question on whether the democrats deliberately fukked their supporters. the overwhelming majority of the people hated the policies already - open border, immigrants being brought in and receiving taxpayer dollars for housing and food, every month another announcement of more taxpayer billions to isreal and ukraine, the whole push for diversity (dei, lgbt), inflation and the general feeling that things are getting worse, etc. whether any or all of that is true or not is beside the point. the point is that's been the general mood of the country for a while now.
they knew joe was too old and nobody really wanted kamala years ago and nothing had changed now. instead of acting like a party trying to win and going and recreating another young bill clinton, they took the steps they did. i mean they basically handed it to the man.
