Now that we have final numbers. It appears that Harris had all the white & black support she needed for an EC victory. But Trump outright flipping Latino men and making huge gains with Latino women seems to have made all the difference.

What do you think?

    The Dems would have won if they ran a campaign relevant to the struggling and apprehensive. They didn’t. They lost.

      Every other Lemmy comment section told me that it was Anti-Genocide college students who cost Kamala the election /s

        It’s never any 1 constituency to blame.

        But maybe a campaign telling independents and centrists that liberals are doing genocide while not also running on saying, “Republicans will genocide more, however,” was a really bad idea.

        I’m not sure you guys bear the moral responsibility for Kamala losing, but I do think there is an argument to make for bearing moral responsibility to helping ensure more death happened.

          Fair enough. I’ll admit that my comment was just a snide remark to those in a community that will jump at the first opportunity to deflect blame onto anyone but refuse to entertain a second of introspection.

          As this chart makes pretty clear, white men are to blame.

        More than one thing can be true; one things can be a subset of another.
