Both candidates earned around the same number of votes, and both were pitiful. So to that extent, I agree? But the malfeasance wouldn’t have been so rampant and on display with any candidate other than Trump.
Presuming you’re actually an American citizen, we’ve both lost because of this setup. While the current government may be making some strides on things conservative constituents actually care about, I don’t think most of what’s happening right now is helping anyone but those in power. Being glib may make you feel better that you’re on the “winning team”, but it’s the people who voted for him who are statistically more likely to suffer the impacts of this disastrous administration.
Nebraska will be bankrupt, and soon so too will all of the rural and agricultural states in the country’s interior. I’m sorry that they’ve all been conned into believing that this group of despots will help them.
And yet the democratic party was so weak, they couldn't win. Trump has always been like this. So it's not a surprise. But the Dem party has been shitting the bed lately. And if they don't change their attitudes, they'll lose next election too.
I am. But I haven't lost. The democratic party (and Lemmy) has become so out of touch with the average american, that they needed their ass handed to them. Democrats and Lemmy are getting what they deserve for making fun of republicans, ignoring working class concerns, making fun of rural americans and middle america, not taking them seriously.
And it's all gonna happen again if the attitude doesn't change. I'm personally happy to see you all burn down your own shit because you were too egotistical to listen to differing opinions.
I personally have been bullied on Lemmy just because I post news articles about conservatives--many articles from AP News even. I don't call people names, I don't advocate violence, I abhor nazis and fascists. Yet Lemmy has done all of those things to me. I was banned from one instance on my name alone before I even posted anything there.
Lemmy had guaranteed that I will never ever vote democrat ever again. I have seen more hate and spite on here than I have seen any republicans do.
So Lemmy and Democrats are getting what they deserve and I'm sitting back laughing at it. And it's gonna happen again in 4 years unless ya'll change your attitudes.
A swing of 1.8% is hardly a massive loss, be real. The entire Trump was predicated in promises and lies to swing that many voters, and now they all immediately regret it. The polls from Tuesday show every single Democrat (including Harris) would have won in November right now, which shows the obvious regret right there.
But they don't regret it. That's why Lemmy is upset. They know the voters who voted him in don't regret it. If they regretted it, then Lemmy would be cheering and clapping.
Oh so no worries about the next election then, right? You all will be a shoo-in, right?
You must not believe in numbers. BIGLY NUMBERS.
I believe in Trump. :)
Even his own party doesn't, so that says something about your trust in this guy and Peter Navarro who was just caught lying about his "research" yet again. Predicating all his tarrif BS he's been pushing for more than a decade on research and stats from one "Ron Vara". I'll let you do your own research 🤣
Hmmm, so then you have no worries about the next election, right? Since so many people hate Trump and the Republican party now, next election is gonna be a breeze for the Democrats. Right?

I could keep going on and on. Bipartisan bills introduced to take tarrifs power back from the executive, removing more power from the presidency and reigning in the DOJ, personnel heading for the door, and even GOP Congress members breaking from the party line vote more and more.
If you're thinking Trump is doing some intelligent work here, not only is your trust misplaced, your cognitive abilities are impaired. These fools just used ChatGPT to declare a global trade war with no benefit whatsoever, and that's who like for the job?
Holy shit.
Ok, so then you should have no worries about Democrats coming back into power next elections, right? Since the Republicans are so wrong and sucky now...right? Nothing to worry about. Right?
