Democrats lost the election because they MSM has totally discredited themselves and the tech bros have made their platforms more open to conservatives. Thus, younger - less informed voters - see both Dem and GOP talking points now rather than just Dem talking points so they are no longer leaning Dem. Rather than actually providing policies that would meaningfully impact their lives, the Dems have doubled down on being obstructionists and calling everyone a racist.

In other words, social media has/is making people think less critically. As for why I believe a "progressive" message has difficulty resonanting with large swaths of this country can be found in the breakdown of educational completion statistics. Stupid is, as stupid votes. Better yet...in a slightingly more old school poetical phraseology, ride the wind--reap the whirlwind.

What are you talking about? The liberals are whining that their young & dumb voting block is no longer exclusively voting Democrat. This is not about progressives not reaching them - it is the fact that people finally are receiving a slightly more balance media message (still highly skewed Left) and the smart ones are voting GOP. The ones that are so dumb that they vote solely based on skin color, sexuality, or gender are still 100% Democrat locks.

Inflation is why she lost. Say it with me, I N F L A T I O N.

Young people ages 18-29 favored Harris by 11 points.

Younger voters, those 18-24, favored her by 12 points.

Inflation and illegal immigration.... My how they work hand in hand. Who would have thought bringing all those people into our country with absolutely no planning could have caused housing to spike like it did??? Here's some more news for you, healthcare pricing is spiking due to the uninsured/undocumented using for profit facilities and doctors. Thanks Biden, 'preciate you!

What do you mean, absolutely no planning?

Immigration and immigration law reform is Congress's responsibility.

Who would have thunk a dysfunctional Congress could allow this to happen to America?

Or was it actually planned to happen this way and everything is going exactly according to the Plan, or should I say, the Project?

All that needs to be done to protect the border is provided by Congress.

To claim Biden implemented the will of Congress, you'd have to be drugged with fentanyl.

@#11 ... All that needs to be done to protect the border is provided by Congress. ...

Then, why does Pres Trump seem to be violating those laws provided by Congress?

This is quite the rationalization. Also, all this does is compare how Biden performed relative to how Harris performed.
