It's a balancing act, you have to mobilize your own political camp as well as appeal to undecided voters in the middle. I think Harris paid too much attention to her political opponent instead of offering her own program.

as results have shown that tactic backfired for her because even the progressive voters abandoned her in some states 

also i agree with the last part about her own program , she didn't take any initiative and continued with biden's original program as i've understood at least

I feel like people aren't really talking about RFK jr overseeing public health. 

Spoiler

 

He has no experience in the healthcare field. He's a raging conspiracy theorist and the amount of misinformation he spreads is concerning. 

 

He's compared vaccine mandates to the holocaust, claims vaccines cause autism, and chemicals in water make children trans. Pandemics are becoming more frequent due to things like climate change. Less people getting vaccinated for things we already can prevent will lower herd immunity, making many diseases emerge and reemerge more common. The WHO has expressed low vaccination rates as one of the largest issues in public health.

 

He claims he's not anti-vaccine but wants there to be studies done which already happens lol. but also said he doesn't think any vaccines are safe and effective..  

 

There’s a whole process of research & clinical trials done.  Usually it takes about 10 years for the entire process of creating a new vaccine until it is fully approved. The reason COVID vaccines were approved fairly quick is because there was already research happening for mRNA, plus they were able to expedite the process from US gov funding.

 

Don't think he'll be able to do much like getting rid of vaccines but spreading false claims relating to healthcare doesn't just hurt the person who chooses to not get vaccinated.

I've been reading a lot on the subreddit r/GenZ and it's genuinely horrifying to read why young males voted for Trump. They keep bringing up the "Man vs Bear" thing that was all over social media this year and saying "how do you think it made us feel". They say they feel attacked by the left. Which to me, seems hypocritical because they're the party of "facts don't care about your feelings" calling liberals/democrats/leftists "snowflakes". I personally don't get it, but the Democrats are going to have to do a lot to appeal to this demographic, because it's going to be very hard to win without this demographic.

they're incredibly weak and pathetic if they can't even handle some stupid online trend, and they let something that pretty much only exists online influence their politics so much, and it's funny how so many men can't seem to self-reflect and maybe admit that maybe they're the problem and that's why women don't want to be with them

The amount of times I read stuff like "If we're not getting laid what makes them think we're gonna vote to help them" made me sick

What’s baffling to me is people didn’t vote due to an issue that has nothing to do with America. Like you just gave a vote to Trump about a country that doesn’t care about you.

voters could have made America great again, now it will spend four years in backwardness

My best friend wrote this to someone and it’s just….100% true so I’m sharing it.

 

“While I am reserved when voicing my opinions in

general, I am only saying this now because I have never been so pissed off in my entire life. The fact that Harris didn't even win the popular vote when Democrats typically do, even Hillary Clinton, even when Republicans win the electoral college, just confirms my fear of these brain-rot no-vote protestors following through during what was the most important election of our lives, far more important than 2020 because after losing Trump is going to be in a massive narc rage and out for revenge.

 

I hate to be the person to throw in a TV quote, but with this situation all I keep thinking of the Succession line "You bust in here, guns in hand, and now you've seen they've turned to fucking sausages." - All of that time playing knights and politicians online accomplished nothing but lining the pockets of billionaires by building engagement on their social media sites. All of that protesting and screeching "Free Palestine" only to sign Palestine's death warrant by handing Trump the presidency, because he will flatten that country just like he promised. He has no sense or interest in the politics of it. It has nothing to do with even Isreal to him. He will nuke them just to make liberal college kids cry, especially in his narc rage. We don't even have Pence, who at least had some political sensibility and duty, to hold him back. He's got a showman at his side, who is likely more dangerous than Trump.

 

Palestine is over. Ukraine is over. All of those decades of progress we made here are over. If they can strip reproductive rights just two years ago with an election on the horizon and face 0 consequences, they will take away everything else. They've got at least four years to work and fill seats. Gay rights, single party divorce, interracial marriage - all of it on the chopping block, and codifying things doesn't mean shit to these people. Rules mean nothing to them because they will find a way around it for no other reason other than because they can. There are no limits. With the ever-growing rhetoric, the gay community, especially trans people, is in so much fucking danger. We're all in so much danger. That's not even considering the fact they want to dismantle the education department on top of a bunch of other shit. 

And for what? Nothing more than an arrogant, short-sighted moral superiority circle jerk to feel rebellious and superior, when in fact they've just fucked not only themselves over, but the people they supposedly cared so much about, as well the rest of the country and quite possibly the rest of the world if Russia decides to sink it's teeth into Poland next and trigger a NATO reaction, and with Trump in power, we will be on Russia's side. Biden wasn't great and Harris wasn't ideal either, but to think that they are remotely on the same level as the alternative is absolutely and completely asinine. That magical unicorn of a candidate is not going to materialize out of thin air - we are not going to have third-party options without years of hard work and determination. That is not reality. That is not how the world works. You take what you can and make due and keep your eyes on the future. Believing you can just demand something into existence is delusional, and throwing a tantrum only helps Republicans.

So, no. I don't want to hear about coming together to fight fascism, because that chance already happened and people chose not to because they are too fucking arrogant and stupid to see anything beyond their surprisingly limited perspective. Fascism was knocking at our door, and they let them in. 

 

This isn't arguing to some account online - this is the real world with real consequences and real people who want to do damage. This juvenile sense of Le Revolution is never going to happen, especially from the people who are constantly screeching about it, because they do not have the stamina and foresight to make happen when they can't even get their shit together for ONE ELECTION without making it about themselves. 

 

It is done. It is over, and once again everyone else will have to work harder and faster to clean up selfish, stupid people's messes. Although I am pissed at Conservatives, my true anger is with the brain-rot protestors. Conservatives were always going to do what they were going to do. We knew that, and all we had to do was show and stop it. But apparently, that is too much for some people.  Ironically, the only thing they likely accomplished was ending the Israel/Palestine conflict by giving Trump the opportunity to disintegrate Palestine. 

 

And that's it. I have nothing more to say, and please do not send a reply. Empty words are useless, and I'm sure they will, of course, blame everyone but themselves even though they're the ones who didn't show up. They chose this, and now we all have to live with it. “

The way he will pardon all of his supporters and possibly even nullify all the charges he was about to be sentenced for… to the point about rules meaning nothing to these people… it’s just sickening. We could have done so much better.

Idk if the country is just shifting right, but I was even surprised California was going slightly more right than before. I think part of it is a lot of more progressive people in CA decided to not vote either because 1. People assume it’s going blue anyways or 2. People who are upset with the situation in Palestine and protesting their vote. 
 

there were a few progressive propositions that didn’t pass like banning forced prison labor which has been used as a loophole for slavery. The min wage here is 16$ per hour while inmates only get paid 74 cents per hour. Everyone including myself have been shocked it didn’t pass considering no one has opposed it

Trump isn't an evil psychopath coming back for revenge cause he didn't win the last time, I actually don't think things will be too bad.

To me he only tried to become president just to win for the fun of it and his ego, now he can't be president again after this the game is over, the winning and being like and voted for is probably the only thing that mattered to him. He'll probably just be happy he won again and then surely he won't want to fuck things up too much, he has a big family etc and he's old and nearly dead.

He might want to impress people and calm things down and fix things so people think "he's actually not that bad". Then his family legacy for the future is fine and he is remembered better than he would have been.

When he says he wants peace and to stop the wars I think he actually does, he'd probably know that him coming in and ending Russia and Israel invading Ukraine and Palestine will be a big thing to have done. Democrats I think or even other politicians don't even talk to Russia even though they're not that bad, it's just normal people the same as everyone else and people can get along with them and then they don't do anything about Israel either, I think Democrats think they can't go against Israel because then they have no chance of winning so they let them away with more because they're stuck and need them.

He only did that to stay out of jail, lol. And now he has four years to change the laws so that he remains unpunished even after his term in office.

Yeah this was disappointing for sure, but I remain optimistic in California remaining blue - I read that even Orange County kept being blue so there's something. Newsom also seems to want to take steps to shield Cali as much as possible. He called for a special session to fund California's legal defense against Trump.

The California sub and adjacent city subs also remain heavily anti Trump so, there's glimmers of hope. After all that's what we have left to push back agaisnt this clown.

I honestly hope you’re right
