'It's simple, really' - why Latinos flocked to Trump
(www.bbc.com)
Exactly how Hitler got in.
Yeah, they liked being in the middle of a poorly handled pandemic. It was great!!
Scapegoat identified. No way it could have been the dems alienating their base with less progressive politics in a failed attempt to pull republicans over to Harris.
oh yeah. trump winning was way more the dems fault than the republicans /s
Against Trump, it was the dems to lose, which they did in historical fashion. They're so quick to blame leftists, or hispanics, or muslims, yet refuse to admit that their shitty policies brought this about.
Actually I found in most contests its the winners to win. Fact is trump had a better platform and a better strategy and the dems need to be more like him to win. that way rather than trump light being hyperbole they really need to do it.
In some competitions, the lead of one competitor is obvious, and they lose because they screw up. It should not have been difficult for the party already in power, with a former prosecutor and career politician, to defeat the former gameshow host with 34 felony convictions.
Harris tried to appease the moderate republicans to try and pull from their pool, but alienated her supporters in doing so.
This type of competition does not work that way. People had their chance and they overwelming through action or inaction wanted trump. Heck he won the popular vote. This is what americans want and if democrats want to win they need to follow the policies that the american people choose to have when elections happen. Now folks like me we are clearly not eh majority. Folks that want a capitalist system but massively regulated and collecting more taxes the more individuals and companies have such that they can't become monopolies or to big to fail. I obviously saw which side was closer to what I wanted and other folks I can only assume went whith the side that was closer to what they wanted.
Of course it can work that way, we just saw it happen on Tuesday. Look at all the votes the dems lost between elections. All those protests, all the people demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza, all those people asking about cheaper rent and healthcare, those people asking about why there's still kids in cages at the border. Inaction, regardless of the outcome, does not equal support for the victor. But sure, let's homogenize the two major parties and make elections even more of a farce than they already are.

Possibly their ballots were faked? Could we all get a look see? I just want to make sure my ballot looks exactly as I voted.
Or maybe Latinos are fucking retarded? Pinches huercos jijos de su reputa Bomba Madre. Como cabrones se les biene a votar por la pinche bolsa de miados Trump???? But I digress.
The Trump messaging was really pretty brilliant. Despite its simplicity, it was incredibly effective. He asked people if they felt like they were better off today than they were four years ago, a majority said no, and that's all it took.
