I have been on a plane the last 5hrs flicking through news channels. I have a question for the Democrats here after a long preamble. Today is saw the CNN anchors talk about the difference in women voting who were college educated vs not, the concept they were pushing us that uneducated people vote for Trump. A few moments later they said they the Dems need to follow Bernie Sanders advice and get back to bread and butter politics. But they stresses that they can't drop the social agenda because it is so important. People joke about wokeness being a mind virus, but maybe that is the issue that Universities are pumping out drones to push and agenda. In all seriousness, what is the importance of the social agenda? Why do we need more diversity? Why do we need more equity? Why is any system that afford someone power inherently wrong? Seems like there is a focus on taking a flame thrower at everything that once made the West great, there seems no reason to do it apart from trying to atone for guilt. I can't grasp why the woke agenda is so important, it's self immolation that provides no benefit to anyone. I'm not saying the Democrats don't need to regroup and restructure (they do in Canada too) but, (and I say this with love and for debate purposes) you say the above as a white male who has benefitted from privileges you don't even know you benefitted from. You might not feel that way if you were someone from a diverse group who has come from a conquered people and is still in many ways treated that way thousands of years later. I lean left because it's not so much about being 'woke' than it is caring about your neighbors/society as a whole which I thought was a very Christian concept, yet you and other Christians speak about individualism over collectivism and back a man who stands for the same. It's baffling to me. And I don't think it's right to say that only uneducated people vote for Trump or the Right. That's insulting to everyone and not focusing on the real issues of why the Democrats lost all three levels.

Something we didn't talk about - it was Baron Trump's idea to put Donald on podcasts, and obviously the right podcasts. Genius play.
On top of Musk, UFC and WWE tie-ins - it was a very grounded campaign.. really when you think about it, that is middle America. Genius.
And who does Harris drag out - Oprah, Beyonce, and the East Coast elite. I'd bet if it wasn't for a conviction, P Diddy would also be on stage. Did they not learn from Clinton?
---
I love the arrogance in some of The Left's voting messaging " anyone but Trump " when in reality a lot of voters likely voted with an " anyone but The Left " mentality instead.
I don't think it was Trump's particular type of charisma or personality or faith in his ability to do the job that likely turned some voters, it was likely due to many people being sick to death of a woke agenda forcing itself into every facet of life.
The fact women, African Americans and Latinos voted for Trump contradicts every statement The Left made about Trump and his apparent racism and misogyny.
Now, not everything Trump will do and say will be brilliant, or productive or even good. No politician is perfect and he's far from it, but I will put more stock in someone who seems to be focused on the greater good instead of continually being focused on the few, ie; DEI.
And that's why we are where we are in society - 15 years of manufactured victimhood and projecting oppression and blame and funnily it's not the most marginalised people in life who have been lifted up, or seen their lives improves by all this Left Wing ideology - if the internet is anything to go, it's like a plague of Andy Dicks have taken over the world and they've all been given social media to complain about their parents.
All the credit to Trump. But now the so-called real work starts, and that will be his true test.

I’ve been keeping up with everyone’s reactions on Twitter because that’s where I post the most as well, and god damn A LOT of people got racist. So many democrats are blaming blacks, latinos, and arabs and saying they are stupid and deserve to die/get deported just for voting for Trump.
JFC??? That’s the main reason they voted for Trump tbh, because at least the right are open about their feelings/opinions about everyone. The left will love you until it no longer suits them 😳🤦🏻♀️

Bernie also highlighted the key issues the GOP will never support as well, re-establishing why tanking his campaign in 2016 was one of the biggest mistakes the DNC made.
Too focused on annoiting HRC.

The Democrats won’t win the White House back for over a decade. They lost so badly that it’s going to take that long to ever get the trust of Americans back.
We’re not going back!

I just watched Kamala’s speech live on NBC. I heard what I thought was an echo from the microphone/her being outdoors, etc. I soon realized that what I was hearing was not an echo, but rather someone feeding the lines to Kamala through what I’m assuming was an earpiece. I LITERALLY SAID THE WORDS OUT LOUD TO MY MOM BEFORE KAMALA SPOKE THEM. She was wearing those same damn earrings that people were speculating were actually an earpiece during the debate. She definitely cheated during the debate with Trump.
I went back and watched the speech on Fox, and couldn’t hear the earpiece, so maybe it had something to do with NBC’s live feed that I was able to hear it. But I shit you not, I heard the words she was about to say before she spoke them. A female voice was feeding her lines through the earpiece and the audio was too loud, so it was spilling into her microphone.
And yeah, it’s Ant. Go ahead and ban me again. Just had to leave that here.

Top Comment 2016: A New Hope 2020: The Empire Strikes Back 2024: Return of the Jedi ============ Needed soap. Went to Aldi's first. They were out so I went to Walmart. They keep soap behind a glass case now. Needed to find an employee with a key to get a simple pack of Dove soap. This took at least 10 minutes. We don't have to live this way. A better world is possible. Reason #2024 I voted for Trump. Reason #2025 would be the price of said soap.

Some mod or admin told me “watch it” when I said something that others have said worse with no warning. I then proceeded to tell said mod/admin to “eat my ass”. Either that, or they are homophobic.

I lean left because it's not so much about being 'woke' than it is caring about your neighbors/society as a whole which I thought was a very Christian concept, yet you and other Christians speak about individualism over collectivism and back a man who stands for the same. It's baffling to me. That's rubbish. The American People stomped a mudhole in Left Wing politics and walked it dry because it's been very evident over the last 15 years, The Left Wing could care less about the greater good. It's why The American people voted the way it did, it's why Australians voted the way they did in September of last year, and why we will vote that way next year. Tell us why, Conservatives talk about moving forward as one, yet The Left talks continually about what divides us - projecting oppression and blame and victimhood? Tell us why, The Left continues to actively attempt to tear down the very foundations and traditions that makes countries like The United States and Australia so great? Tell us why, The Left tears down industry and enterprise? While Conservatives talk about creating industry and jobs? Tell us why, The Left's economic plan is little more than tax us all into a further cost of living crisis? Tell us why, The Left has enabled a mental health crisis that has resulted in a big part of this new generation living in fantasy land? Tell us why, The United States is in such poor shape and none of you are better off despite the fact outside of 4 years, The Left has been in power since 2008? Tell us why, Left Wing Politics continues to push agendas like misinformation bills and censorship of contrasting or opposing viewpoints? It's difficult to argue The Left care about society when they're doing everything to hurt it. If you think that's all hyperbole and bullshit, the evidence was in yesterday's result.

Well at least I can feel vindicated as a Bernie supporter.
I've only been screaming that on here and elsewhere for 8 years and got nothing but gaslight from my own side.
Populism was always the route, but they chose not to read the room and embraced oppression olympics and celebrity endorsements instead.

When they brought out J Lo to beg for her, I thought they were just at the point of memeing out and giving up. Sure they were trying to tell Puerto Ricans that a comedian said their island was garbage so they had to get J Lo and Fat Joe but awful decision. There’s no way you have J Lo as your celebrity guest with all the Diddy news coming out. Read the room! All that to lose the Hispanic Male Vote for the first time ever too. Classic L by the Left.

KJ, What do you with the Democratic Party now? Surely a red tsunami has to give them the idea that it’s time to reset. How do you reset though with the loudest people in the party being race baiters like Hakeem Jeffries, AOC and Talib. How do you get past their noise and allegiance to hating Jewish people and try and get Shapiro in? I’d be far less surprised if he switched to Republican than being selected as the next man up for the Democrats. If they’re really going for the “get younger” role, who? I just don’t see a near future where the Democrats win back the voters they lost UNLESS Trump fucks up exponentially in these next four years which is highly unlikely with the people he has by his side. Mainly former democrats like Musk, RFK and Tulsi. Say what you want, but I think sooner or later Bezos is going to join Trumps side and it wouldn’t surprise me if Zuckerberg does as well after being co main event vs Elon Musk on a Jake Paul card. Sounds crazy, but very possible.

It's been said umpteen times, but it's the case among this group that a desire for diversity applies to ethnicity, but not to way of thinking. The DEI type are just as inclined to racism as racists, which follows since both are obsessed with race.

I’ve been saying for years that the biggest racists are the left. They just hide behind this shield of “I’m a Democrat” and get away with it. They’ve proven it today with their TDS attacks. Black men calling Hispanic men racist for not voting for Kamala bc she’s black LMAO. It’s unreal and we finallly voted out this monstrosity.

Well, my workday got cut short. Manager at Target walked up to me and said, "anyone told you we're closing early today?" "No"; "what's happening?"; he said they are closing because of concerns about "civil unrest", because of the election. Called the next Target, also closes at five. Went to a CVS for another company I merchandise for, already closed lmao.
They are taking this serious in Philly.
I think the riots of 2020 associated with BLM/Antifa are rooted deep enough in retail's conscious now. I remember an Apple store in Center City being looted after a police officer shot a guy who was charging him with a knife. What a free iPhone has to with this imagined criminal injustice, you tell me. 🤦

As far as Sanders goes, I like Chris Hedges' perspective on him. Hedges asked Sanders why he didn't choose to not endorse Hillary in 2016 and run as an independent ... and think about all the momentum Sanders had. Sanders response was that he did not want to wind up like Ralph Nader. Keep in mind that Nader was denied simply attending the Bush-Gore debate, despite the fact that he had a ticket to be in attendance. He was turned away. Sanders knew he would be rendered a non-entity for going against the Party, so he shrunk from his moment in history. Sanders, forevermore, is a f*cking LARPER. 😂 Also, can we stop banning ant. ? Dude livens up the place. 😆
