No, to all of this.
Obama was a generational figure/happening in politics. His existence birthed MAGA/Trump as a response.
So now that Trump won the election, what can the Democratic Party do better to have a chance in 2028??

And his name is trash in the Black community now. We sent him on his way. Doesn't matter who they send. If they don't have a Black agenda, they're going to get torched.

Can some one point to all the pro transgender ads Kamala was running. Or is this like TLR where everyone is tired of the gay agenda but those same people stay spamming gay threads?
Edit: This thread is just devolved into people spitting random shyt divorced from reality. No wonder Trump won so easily no one seems to be aware of what actually took place. Just regurgitation of shyt y’all read on Twitter or TikTok.

Based on unrealistic expectations of what he was supposed to do as a two-term President. You can't use his actual presidency in a hypothetical universe 15-20 years later.
If he was 20 years younger and running today he would have the same trajectory.
And the Coli Cóons =/= the black community.

All politics are "ID" politics, you dumb piece of shyt. Why don't you cretins ever whine about "white identity politics"?
I didn't mean to trigger you, but I disagree.
To paraphrase; "It's the economy, Stupid" seems the appropriate response. Only liberal elites and race - hustlers vote based on the mixed-race female married to a divorced Jewish man ticket. Policy TRUMPS identity (pun intended).
she's on tape saying that taxpayers should pay for sex changes for prisoners and illegal immigrants. trump rightly humiliated her for it: it's fukking stupid
It was very effective. Kamala's team didn't seem to realize that a big part of Trump's goal was to persuade groups of people he knew wouldn't vote for him in large numbers to not vote for her and sit out this election.

Nothing.
The pattern is almost always this:
A Democrat puts in economic policies that take a while to get going. But by the time they start working, it's election time.
If the economy improves while he's in charge, he will win re election. If the economy declines while he's in charge, he will lose.
When Bush took office, the economic policies of the Regan administration had started to fukk up the economy. He subsequently lost to bill Clinton. This is where the phrase "its the economy, stupid" first got used. When Bush II was elected, Clinton had turned the economy around and there was a budget surplus. Bush II subsequently fukked all of that up after two terms. People were so desperate they were willing to vote for Obama over John McCain who was basically doomed when he said "the fundamentals of our economy are sound".
If Donald Trump fukks up any momentum the Biden policies started and fukks up the economy, he's done.

Pretty much this.
Trump will use Tariffs foolishly against China, many of his supporters do not realize that China does not pay these tariffs, American companies do. The price of things will gradually increase.
He will deregulate everything which will seem great at the beginning, but eventually automation will eliminate more and more blue collar jobs, corporations will use the extra money for stock buy backs and find ways to not share that wealth with employees.
He will pressure the fed to reduce interest rates within his first year in office (this is the real reason a lot of people voted for him) which will look great in the beginning. The stock market will have record performance in his first two years.
Towards the end of his term or right after he is done, the hyper inflationary effects of his policies will begin to be felt, there is a reason interest rates are the way they are, forcing the Fed to reduce them in the short term does not make these reasons magically disappear. The tariffs will contribute to hyper inflation too.
When it all comes crashing down (and it will) they will vote a democrat to fix it, and forget about their self destruction after 4 or 8 years and vote another republican, starting the process anew.
The very people complaining about "pointless wars and the economy" voted for Bush twice. that tells you all you need to know about the American electorate.

I'd add in the fact that China will send their products elsewhere. They are already building factories in Mexico and other parts of Asia. They're targeting work forces that are young and want to buy things.
By pricing affordable Chinese goods out, while letting local companies just keep putting out the same overpriced slop, they'll have trapped the American public. You'll be forced to buy phones, cars, and other products that are more expensive and not that much better than their Chinese equivalents.
Chinese companies are re investing their profits into staff retention and R&D. Our companies are reinvesting their profits into shareholders and managers. When rich people are given money, they buy luxury products and assets which appreciate in value. By making it easier for the rich to get richer, all you're doing is tanking your own economy. The stock market went crazy during covid because people used their stimulus money and rent freezes to buy things. When you give working people money, they feed the economy. They drive up demand for products and companies earn more money. When you knee cap them by not giving them jobs, good wages, unions, education or anything else that will boost their buying power, you make companies less competitive and you create a trash economy.
And by deporting literally millions of people under the age of 40 who are paying taxes, working at companies, and spending money and boosting the economy, you'll be left with an older workforce that isn't having children and whose health issues are driving up the strain on the medical system. What that means is that the spanish speakers will go to Mexico, Brazil, Canada, or any other country that will take them. They'll bring the skills they gained while in America and be care aids for old people, nurses in hospitals, construction workers, and factory workers(especially in mex). Because he's showing aggression to all non whites, that means Asians and Africans in the tech sector will get scooped up by Chinese, European and Canadian businesses. We will experience a brain drain that will make us even less competitive.

Then she went on “The View.”
In what was otherwise an anodyne talk-show appearance, Ms. Harris was asked if she would have done something differently from Mr. Biden. She paused, then said: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
How do you blow such a softball question?
this is exactly why she shouldn't have been the fukking nomineeThen she went on “The View.”

running kamala....was basically just an extension of running biden, who was unpopular due to inflation. so why not just run newsom, or shapiro, or anyone who wouldn't have to answer this question, because they weren't IN the biden administration?
we should have bit the bullet, said fukk the identity politics, and skipped over kamala
and the irony is that she's set women back decades in politics. i'm not going to vote for a woman in a primary again, because how the fukk can i?
