Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

Shitposting in other comms please!
It's truly baffling that people could look historically at US elections and unequivocally say "When people are concerned about the economy, the incumbent party doesn't do well...........................................but this election it'll be different!" 
The fact that the campaign didn't distance themselves from Biden will truly be studied for generations (who am I kidding, it probably won't)
They convinced themselves by saying 'the economy is great, actually' and ignoring what voters were saying
The California ballot measure to ban prison slavery lost lmao fuck this piece of shit country
Just saw a dipshit talking head on msnbc claim incredulously that a tiktok video saying KKKamala locked up parents of truant kids was a "deepfake" lmao
The Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves. You cannot beat Trump by running as a centrist and campaigning with Liz Cheney. You give people nothing. You promise healthcare reform and student debt relief and then don't do shit.
There's a reason Trump's "drain the swamp" lies work so well. People know both parties are controlled by their corporate owners, and they're sick of it. Trumpism has it's roots in disaffected working class people, they've just been convinced minorities are to blame for the faults of capitalism.
When material conditions worsen, people are more likely to embrace fascism, especially when there's no alternative but the status quo. If they had let Bernie run in 2016, he would've beat Trump then. But no, the Dems love the status quo, they love their corporate owners, and most of all they love genocide. End the Demokkkrat party.
As far as I can tell the only states he won without a majority are Michigan and Wisconsin. But just barely and only because Democrats forced RFK to stay on the ballot in those states lmao.
My turbolib natohawk dad just went "keep your bags packed and money in your wallet in case you have to leave, the biggest shithead has just become the leader of the world" regarding Trump getting elected.
We are in Finland... wtf does he think is going to happen? How are these people real? How are these people this gone that they think the US president is the leader of the world. Unless they only count the west as "the world" (I assume it's this).
I didn't want to stir the pot by asking if nato is still a good idea or where he thinks we should go, Russia? Lol
We are in Finland... wtf does he think is going to happen?
He thinks Trump is going to give Putin permission to invade Finland. Something Putin definitely wants or ever wanted to do.
perkele moment
you guys should come to saint-petersburg. I'll show you around
I'm gonna be honest, I think this was all down to inflation and Biden's unpopularity and any democrat running nationally in this environment was just fucked no matter what.
any democrat running nationally in this environment was just fucked no matter what
Nah, if a Democrat ran on being significantly different from Biden and going after the greedy companies causing inflation (with that wording explicitly) they would have had a chance.
Of course there are next to no Democrats that would use that kind of rhetoric. Maybe Bernie but really he'd probably be too civility minded chickenshit to talk bad about his good friend Biden.
Yeah people really don't like Trump. People just won't vote for you if you downplay their suffering, which is exactly what the Dems have been doing the whole time.
Libs on
acting like this description doesn't fit every single president of the usa lmao
ermmmmm, actually, Harris wouldn't have been geriatric.
socialist tankies owned epic style 
The liberals are shattered, but may be reshaped
If you are actually going to sincerely do this, remember its best to not call them stupid or gullible lol

Staggering class realignment/shift in working class
Harris lost DESPITE major shift of affluent voters her way
2020: Trump wins voters over $100K, 54-52 2024: Harris wins voters over $100K, 54-45
2020: Biden wins voters $50K-$100K, 57-42 2024: Trump w/ voters $50K-$100K, 49-47
2020: Biden wins voters under $50K, 55-45 2024: Trump massive improvement w/ voters under $50K, 49-48
I'm going to just keep spamming this chart. I started telling liberals two years ago that this exact graph was going to be a huge problem for Biden, and they didn't want to believe it. They can chirp about how inflation is low now or unemployment all they want. People have an economic indicator they can check 24/7 from their pocket: their bank account balance. More people at the lower end of the income distribution were keeping more of their paycheck than probably at any other point of their lives at the end of the Trump admin, and now they have less of it than at almost any point of the Trump admin. There's a reason even the GOP struggles to cut Medicare and Social Security despite constantly talking about it: no one likes it when you take money out of their pockets, even the most deranged of chuds. Voters punished the Democrats for not doing enough to keep money in their pockets.
instead of blaming party officials, libs are starting to search for which minority to scapegoat. lmao democrats won. libs are still gonna say "you can push them left" as their party uploads mein kampf into its voters brain lmao
all those articles from months ago that were like "it's really strange how Americans seem to think the economy is bad when it's actually really great and awesome. what could possibly be the explanation? republican media? brainwashing? have they just not been told that the economy is good? are they spoiled from all the money we gave them during the pandemic?" are extremely funny in hindsight.
political analysts spent years of their lives in the best universities; now baffled at the fact that the area under the curve of an inflation graph is more important than whether the curve is going up or down, and whether wages outpace that inflation. calculus makes fools of us all, I suppose. so as much as I wish that Harris would have lost solely on the basis of pro-Palestinian voters (this would be the best possible timeline out of all the horrible ones where Trump wins), it might in fact just be the economy, stupid
I'm having a lot of morbid fun right now sorting /r/politics posts by "controversial". The mods there are obviously having trouble keeping up with their usual censorship duties. There's a lot of leftist-perspective truth being spoken.
dems discovering latinos are people with their own brainworms be like 
yeah random fucking dominican shop-owner cares a lot about plight of mexican seasonal worker, they are basically the same
less than 12 hours out and the fking libs are asking for a solution to the Latino problem
Fuck I woke up, saw the results and just realized I'm gonna have to deal with my lib civility teachers today. I'll just keep like a running tally of what identities I hear being blamed for kamala losing
You tankies are laughing that Kamala lost but who will now protect black men's crypto investments?? 
Realizing that Trump's worst policies will be things that the Supreme Court would have done anyways under a Democratic president who wouldn't have lifted a finger to reign them in or diminish their power to govern.
Also it can't be overstated that the worst case scenario for Gaza is that Trump continues Biden's policy on Israel.
Just woke up, all I can say is
