No, 1Nut, that means that swing voters decided to vote for the devil they knew rather than the one they didn't

Trump's numbers didn't change. Which means MAGA remained and voted en bloc.

The disparity between POTUS and down ballot races screams, loud and clear, that she was a terrible candidate that Dem voters simply didn't vote for while voting for down ballot Dems.

Someone on another thread put it perfectly - Trump didn't win. The Democrats lost.

You can stop pretending Harris was a good choice in 2020 or 2024 now.

Corky,

Just admit you were wrong.

It's not hard.

I see... so, your better solution for a couple of mos before the Election was what now?

LOL

Just LOL

I see you've clung to an excuse like a life preserver floating by after a shipwreck.

Nothing, nada, zilch? Not sure why I expected you to have a rational alternative in mind, but hey... I was wrong.

First of all, your little shtick is well past old. You can always tell when you're cornered because you fall back on a logical fallacy presented with hollow attempts at condescension.

Second, no, it wasn't because people didn't know who she was because she only had a few months. FFS how f*&^ing tone deaf and insulated are you?

She ran for POTUS once before. She was the first to lose.

She was VP for four years and did nothing. What little she attempted was failure after failure. That's why her bio page (before she was handed the nomination) was mostly about being half black half south asian parents were blah blah blah. It wasn't about initiatives she was working on or had successfully guided to completion.

Once she was handed the nomination, they played identity politic -------- with it. Made no significant attempt to counter the narrative that she and Biden were responsible for the inflationary pressure everyone feels, certainly didn't message well that things were much improved and are continuing to improve.

But there was gonna be $25K handouts to further inflate housing costs! And taxes on money people hadn't even earned yet! (I know most wouldn't be affected by that, but it plays into the stereotypes about dems) And programs to help black male entrepreneurs get into the weed business!

Let's not even get into framing the whole women's rights issues as being about just abortion, which makes them sound ghoulish and rather dispicable to a lot of people.

So not only was it not a great campaign, but she was just a bad choice that wasn't decided by the Dem voters.

Your little life preserver you're clinging to? Just another misstep on the Dems part to further point out their culpability in this fiasco.

Let that last one sink in a minute. Your candidate couldn't beat an adjuicated rapist and a multiple times felon for mishandling classified information.. Oh, and the hush money
Yeah, that guy...

Let it sink in that even when your party had a choice, they chose that.

As bad as corky is for continuing to cling to Harris being a good choice, you and your party are far, far worse.

My party had a primary. End of discussion

I'm well aware.

Why do you think I pointed out that you CHOSE Trump?

So if it's a huge knock on Harris that she lost to it, it's an even greater knock on YOU that you chose it and voted for it.
