Full stop, Trump won because most Americans are racist. Its not that Kamala's campaign wasnt progressive enough. Her campaign leaned right because a large portion of voting Americans ARE racist. Trump is winning the popular vote. If you combined everyone who abstained from voting for Kamala because her campaign was built off of anti-immigration, racist policies, that voter block, in no way, would be equal or greater to the amount of venomspewing, fascist snakes that voted for Trump knowing full well what that would mean for marginalized people in this country, in Ukraine, and in Gaza. Kamala ran a bad campaign, absolutely! This is a shit, white settler colonialist country. I'm grasping at straws trying to understand how we as a country can do better, how we can change as a population without the shit democrats and evil capitalists, but I cannot think of anything. We aren't a majority, maybe we're not even a teeny, tiny margin, of people in this country that think "maybe we shouldn't elect a fucking fascist" while also thinking "maybe we shouldn't participate in genocide either"! We've been unmasked as the miniscule, minority of people in a country that is absorbing the message: "you win votes by being a bigot".
#i had to listen to freak ghouls on cnn talk abt how#americans are just scared of radical protestors on college campuses#how people with college degrees are not working class and they are rats nests of liberal ellitist ideology#my fucking guy my dude#the richest people i know never went to college they are salespeople#meanwhile scientists are making poverty wages!!@

They're already saying that, but it's not for the reasons you think, they are essentially saying the democratic stance on LGBTQ rights was too progressive and hurts the brains of "working class americans" and imams in Michigan, so it's actually worse than you'd expect lmao
lmao, libs are dealing with it well i see

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

tbh foreign policy was listed as the least important issue for exit polls, arab and muslim heavy states like minnesota and michigan are not what lost harris the vote, and jill stein got under like one percent. everyone making this about leftists who didnt vote either pro or against is making something out of basically nothing. americans are fundamentally boring and apolitical and above all completely self centered. they do not give a fuck about the suffering of people in palestine or ukraine. they just know that gas was cheaper 4 years ago or whatever. the amount of incredibly normal people i know who arent even right wing so much as just sort of uneducated and incurious about any issues / had no interests beyond like big ten sports or binge drinking or getting ahead at work and getting rich are voting for him not people who agonized over a single thing ever. this is unfortunately a non issue bc americans dont care about anything but themselves, you just happen to be around small groups of the exception

In ancient times, the dead were often buried with coins in their mouths. This is because many ancient cultures believed the dead were a bunch of assholes, and thought it was funny to make them eat coins.
