Harris was a disaster and the dems really abandoned focusing on the issues that matter, immigration, the economy, crime etc... There are million of people who voted for trump simply because he spoke to the issues that mattered to them even though it was all empty promises....
The Democrats' focus on entrenching DEI everywhere, driving Critical Race Theory in schools, allowing transgender athletes to play women's sports and other progressive nonsense worked out so well for them. Maybe they learned their lesson for the next election, but I doubt it.
Those are the "bees in your bonnet". https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/11/13/what-trump-supporters-believe-and-expect/
Committing genocide in Gaza and not fighting for Sanders/Warren progressives issues cost them far more than DEI/CRT etc.
There about 1/3 of voters in the U.S. who will vote for Republicans not matter what in a general election. There are about 1/3 of voters in the U.S. who will vote for Democrats not matter what. There are about 1/3 of independent voters who will vote for a candidate from either party in a general election -- dependent on if the issues addressed by the candidate(s) align with their concerns. The Democrats harped on pushing DEI, driving Critical Race Theory, supporting transgender athletes, and a host of other progressive issues in the 2024 election. These are issues where over 70% of independent voters disagree with the Democrats stance and none of them align with the top concerns of independent voters. The Democrats should have focused hard-core on the economy, immigration, and crime if they wanted to excel in the 2024 general election. They failed to effectively address the issues of top concern to American swing voters -- hence the result.
Still cannot find any national or state wide plans to drive critical race theory in schools. Also that was an old issue by 2024 several years ago and then people realized it was bullshit. Youngkin used critical race to win the Governor election in Virginia some years ago but after he won the people realied there was never any critical race theory in the curriculum or being pushed and it was a dog whistle. never came up after he took office. DEI is just GOP way of getting rid of anything that helps non-white people. Seems trump will be coming after the African American Museum soon since it reminds people they owned slaves in America. This election was about immigration, trade and crime and Harris laughed and rambled useless shit while trump made bold promises. Then when he was elected he brought up Panama and Greenland and id immigration raids so people forgot about everything else.
Agreed...CRT is like 2021-2022 and is no longer even an issue... takes GWB a while to catch up. Politicians have to create a boogeyman for people to fear and rally around. trump was way better at it. While dems were trying to scare people about trump, trump was scaring people about MS13 gangs, immigrants, and loss of jobs. I swear dems hire college freshman to run their campaigns.
Show us Harris pushing CRT in 2024..... by 2024 it was no longer a significant issue... swing voters were not concerned with CRT and the fake news about it dominating school curriculums. In fact google Harris platforms it shows they talked very little about education except teachers and supporting strong eduction.
More Democrat voters in Wisconsin and Michigan voted non committed against Biden over Gaza than Trump won those states by.Nationwide polls showed Jill Stein getting more votes from Muslim voters than Harris.There are always Sanders/Warren type progressive voters and Black voters that will stay home or vote Green Party if The Democrats aren't addressing their issues.Those issues cost Democrats far more than DEI/CRT.Abandoning DEI would also cost Democrats Black voters.I and millions of others voted for Biden in 2020 but not for Harris in 2024 over Gaza and not fighting for populist progressive issues.
