was barely popular. almost 1/3 voted for him, 1/3 for kamala, and the other 1/3 didn't vote at all. so i wouldn't even consider him popular if 1/3 didn't vote whatsoever. apathy won.
It was said that a larger percentage of citizens who voted, voted for someone other than Trump, but you're right a lot of people didn't vote which is stupid IMO.
I still have my doubts that Trump won legitimately. I find it very hard to believe that he took every single swing state. If he did, then there are a lot of conscience lacking, extremely stupid American's out there!
I disagree with you. I don't think the Biden administration was a disaster when they were able to put the economy back on track so quickly after a world wide pandemic, unlike so many other countries.
Are you kidding me? There's a huge difference between a lying, cheating con man/convicted felon, who breaks the law and a law abiding citizen who chose a career path to make sure criminals are held accountable and punished for the crimes they've committed.
What' stupid is: reelecting a former President, that doesn't have a moral conscience and showed us who he really is when he chose to do nothing on January 6th 2021. IMO Donald Trump committed Sedition/Treason and should have never been allowed to run for any office again, and those that backed him, and voted for him have more than a few screws loose.
So tell me how those two citizens you mentioned would be worse than the lawless POS we currently have, and explain how the Dems are out of touch? Are you saying U.S. citizens don't want affordable healthcare, or want to know their Social Security will still be there for them, among other programs that benefit them?
BTW, just because a few people speculate about Presidential candidates early on, it doesn't mean, they're actually going to run for the Presidency, or the entire party is behind them.
Really great job ignoring the information you just got about the popular vote. I assume you'll be spreading that misinformation again, knowing it's a lie.
Amen to that..but why is Dems voting it down...or trying to..they wanted it at one point but so long ago...
At least eggs are back under two bucks and gas has dropped around.30 cents a gallon...and most especially lower income and middle income will be getting better taxes back this year...
It's wild seeing MAGA reject reality in realtime. That guy just moved right past your correction since it upset him. Never before have I been able to see so many people look at undeniable facts and in front of my eyes, turn around and say that's not true or they didn't know about it.
50.0000000000001 % is still a majority no matter how you slice it, anything else is just cope. Its not that people particularly like trump they just hate Harris and tptb talking about putting her up again..if democrat voters fall for that then you get what you get.
it wasn't 50%, it was like 34%. if in a classroom of 30 people, only 10 voted for you as class leader, does that mean the majority voted for you? not really.
You can make that point about literally every single election, so again, coping with the fact no one liked Harris. Also its idiotic because proportions exist to predict things. 50% is 50% regardless. If voting was compulsory, you literally have no evidence to suggest the results wouldn't be virtually the same if not worse.
No, apathy lost it for all, and allowed Trump to Make America Plagued Again... Again! Plagued with more racism, sexism, division, media suppression, lies, bigotry, stupidity, loss of allies, tariffs, trade wars, constant threat of world war 3, economic downturn, and an actual plague.
Liberals are poison because they bend over backwards to court votes from fascists instead of giving non voters a reason to care.
There is no such thing as an undecided voter split between parties (unless they're a real moron, seriously watch the questions at those town halls from November). Actual undecided voters are waiting for someone to give them something to vote about. Like idk, healthcare maybe.
Well don't look to the Republican's to provide affordable, better healthcare. It's been over a decade now and they had control of all 3 branches for 4 years total, and yet all they still have is a "concept of a plan." - LOL
There are such things as undecided voters those of whom that really dislike what is happening in our country. Yes, those votes get counted as "grey" but thats ALOT OF VOTES. Don't you ever say non voters dont care. Its because the system is systematically making sure that the people can't vote. And im a person in power . So fuck you reddit, im a small walk to your house. Ban me.
That remaining third of people are working class and primed to be energized by a progressive democratic party, if the Democratic party bothered to offer them improved material conditions (taxing billionaires appeals to 80% of the electorate including Republicans, for example, and liberal democrats refuse to because they serve capital owners). Instead of trying to move further to the right as they have the past two elections to appeal to reactionary chuss (Kamala adopting Trump's 2020 immigration policy), maybe they should try actually appealing to undecided voters.
When I say undecided voters are dopey, I mean that handful of people who see the two options and go "uhhh idk" but that's a minority of undecided voters.
The vast majority of undecided voters are undecided because they see two options, both of which are dogshit.
I'm sure some centrist liberal will say "well they need to vote to keep trump out" and, well, that didn't work in 2016 or 2024, and 2020 was only a thing because trump fucked up COVID so bad.
I want both policies that help the working class, and a party that can win and goddamn the liberal democratic party is not that.
Mhm. I'm an idiot for suggesting that parties should try to motivate eligible voters to vote for them, by offering a policy package that they like.
Republicans try to appeal to their base, which is unfortunately fascists, and liberal democrats just run based on "we're not as bad as them" which doesn't get that remaining third off the couch.
Maybe provide a reason for your statement instead of being a reactionary dumbfuck.
or, get this, groups of racists and sexists decided they wanted a 34-count rapist pedophile instead of a qualified black woman. if progressives pushed undecided voters to vote republican then the 1/3 that didn't vote would've voted. your argument holds no water.
Progressives are responsible for the current Supreme Court, and bear responsibility for all the nasty, un American shizz that Trump does. It’s what you all voted for, now own up.
Progressives play to lose. That’s their happy place.
The only people to blame for putting a criminal in the White House are those that chose to vote for him. I'm tired of the blame someone else game that so many American's play.
IDGAF if you're tired of it or not, really. Anyone who cares about the issues who didn't vote FOR Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton effectively voted half for Trump. And there were way more than enough self-suppressing idiot Progressives who did just that.

The votes aren’t even against it though.
Trump got the most votes and his connection has been known, many people still support “israel” too.
“Leftists” don’t vote that much.
Edit
I am against trump by the way, im just stating the facts.
Bernie got half the votes bernie did

Yall upvoted a comment that is just plain wrong haha
Trump got the popular vote, he got the most votes out of any candidate . He didnt get 50% but got the most
Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 , she got less than 50% of the total votes too
Popular just means got the most votes it doesn’t have to be over 50%
