Democrats are wondering why nobody likes them. Evidence is suggesting the shortlived failed experiment of progressivism has come and gone.https://www.semafor.com/article/11/06/2024/democrats-ask-why-didnt-anything-workDemocrats ask: Why didn’t anything work?On Wednesday afternoon, as Kamala Harris conceded the presidential election, Democrats confronted the idea that a short progressive era had come and gone.In Ohio and Montana, two populist Democratic senators who’d always defied gravity succumbed to it. In California, voters ousted two reform prosecutors in deep blue counties – Los Angeles and Alameda – while recalling Oakland’s progressive and scandal-plagued mayor. Arizonans voted to allow local police to enforce immigration law; New Yorkers were on track to reject a new city diversity officer.All of that unfolded on a map that got redder outside of a few cities and suburbs, and far redder in majority-Latino areas that had rarely voted Republican. Before Tuesday, no Democrat born after 1986 had ever voted in an election where Republicans won the popular vote. Now, all of them had. They were not entirely sure why.“I would love to see some kind of autopsy,” said Faiz Shakir, the founder of the progressive journalism channel More Perfect Union, and the manager of Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign. “I would worry about a party that said: Let’s move on, let’s fight, let’s get into resistance mode.”Sanders had urged Democrats all year to reach unlikely voters and emphasize their economic policies, many shaped by him after the 2020 primary defeat. On Wednesday, before Harris addressed supporters at Howard University, he said in a statement that Democrats shouldn’t have been shocked that a “party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” white and non-white.
>the party that gaslit the public on the skyrocketing price of food can't figure out why Trump won in a landslide

I'm asking myself the same thing.Democrats had a massive political machine and Harris had over a billion dollars she squandered.How in the world did democrats lose so badly? They had their figurative nuts kicked in all across the country. The Democrats who haven't already had their nuts cut off are nowing singing soprano.I really thought Americans were so dumb that they'd vote for whoever Taylor Swift/ jimmy Kimmel told them to vote for, but they pleasantly surprised me
>>1361349have democrats ever considered that calling anyone who disagrees with you a transphobe or neo-nazi then trying to socially execute them isn't progressivism.
>>1361371No, I don't believe they have
>>1361349They won't be wondering for much longer. If I were them, I'd be packing my bags.
>>1361361Trump talking about vengeance camps was what got me and most of /pol/ out voting for him.
>>1361361DNC fossils are still running a campaign game that is decades obsolete. Knocking on doors, phone banking, and pouring money into traditional media is so much more expensive and ineffective than a good 4chan meme spread through twitter or Andrew Tate hyping you up (especially when they do it for free). Elon thus eliminated the (physical) ground game and focused on meme production and bots. Like people laughed at him, but who is laughing now? There's also a lot of anti-incumbency bias, not just in America but globally. People are tired and angry at the global economic/political order and want something new. Populist parties are way up, whether ethnonat or otherwise.
>>1361375Do you have a source for this?
>>1361376When tRump wants free PR, HE just says they're eating the cats and dogs. And MSM libs are so triggered, they play it 4/7 .stupid libs thought tRump effed up saying that to kamaltoe, but he's a straight faced 3d chess playing media genius. I don't care what you say about me, just get my name right(Joe Mccarthy). And look how he succeeded.
>>13613772020 election, look no furtherhalf of the America felt cheated and had no way to ventlayer on top of that was covid policy and lockdown, force vaccinationby then people were ready to pick up their torches
>>1361378Yeah, the ridiculous shit is a strategy, the so-called "weaving." Trump will say shit like>...I will dismantle and terminate the corrupt establishment that keeps you poor. Terminator Trump. I like the sound of that. T for terminator or T for Trump. When you think about it, the scum who vote for Biden aren't that different from vermin, and we all know what you do with vermin.Then the media will run a story about how Trump wants to murder democrat voters. When Trump doesn't do that, they all look hysterical.
>>1361349Kamala harris got richard spencer to endorse her, the far-right neo-nazi.https://nypost.com/2024/11/02/us-news/prominent-white-supremacist-richard-spencer-endorses-kamala-harris/how did she lose with that glowing endorsement.
>>1361384I thought Spencer was a plant?
>>1361382>>1361375What does vengeance even look like?
>>1361382I want to hear about the vengeance camps.
>>1361388Well, Trump calls them detention centers. Has a nicer ring to it.
>>1361386ANGOR. METAL. STEEL.
>>1361361All the money in the world doesn't make up for poor messaging and it's very difficult to gaslight people into not believing their reality. You can't be the establishment and flat out ignore that shit fucking sucks right now, you have to address it or you're going to lose hard like we've seen.
>>1361349Demtards suck. I wonder why!
>>1361404Comes naturally since their educational standards aren't merit base. I mean, have you seen what passes for education in Commiefornia?? There are high school grads who can't even write their own damned names. Can't rebuild Murrica on a mountain of shit, you just have to shovel it out at this stage and start anew.
>>1361432I'm all for just getting rid of public education. I never got through highschool and am way more smarter then any college libcuck with his nose up in the clouds.
>>1361439you probably have better morals too, middle/upper class filth in California tend be to filled with narcissistic cunts, doesn't help that there are domestic terrorists/activists teaching ethics and social sciences in american schools.
>>1361432Good post
>>1361349>four years from nowRepubs wonder why they suck when Trump's out of the White House thus MAGA dies
>>1361432I saw burn that shithole to ashes.

Beat it toots...
>>1361519Trump is going to use the military to silence all of his enemies. Get used to it, because MAGA will be ruling the US for the next hundred years at least.
People are put off by someone randomly screeching "DUDE DRUMPFARINO IS LE HECKIN' FASCIST HITLER NAZI KKK WHITE SUPREMACIST WHO TOLD BOOMERS TO HOP A RED ROPE AND COUP THE GOVERNMENT HE WANTS TO RAISE LEGAL IMMIGRATION AND LOWER ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, THAT MEANS HE'S RACIST, WHAT NEXT? GENOCIDE?" in their face. Similarly Republicans are voting more Republican than Trump in particular. They hear that in their local school kids are having 1 to 1 private trans counselling sessions with volunteers without parental knowledge and various other strange things the left keeps trying to push, they view the Republicans as a way to reel that back without having to vote for extremist parties.
>>1361568I voted for Trump because he is the next Hitler.

>>1361574He probably has plans to account for unpopularity. If Elon and Vance are right, they're going to break the economy to fix it, meaning that the next 2+ years will be shit. As American voters are goldfish, the midterm will be a slaughter. Trump and his advisors probably know this, which means that they'll have a plan to circumvent the BTFO (maybe use the military to coerce congress, assassinate rivals, and/or postpone the midterms). That means purging the military and replacing officials with /theirguys/ (literally part of their plan). This takes time, and they'll be working against a lot of institutional inertia, not to mention rebuilding all the other bureaucracies they plan to gut and replace. So maybe it'll take about a year for them to consolidate as federal workers/military members are kinda hard to sus out and get rid of. On top of this, next year's budget has already been decided, meaning it's going to be difficult to get any new major initiative funded. Then they have a year to act. This is all assuming people and states aren't throwing wrenches into the machinery all along the way, not to mention that people are already going to be pissed if Elon/Vance are right. It doesn't take much to drag things out. Just look at how much trouble Florida and Texas caused for Biden after all. Putin, Xi, Stalin, and Hitler had institutions who were much more friendly to them and it still took several years for them to consolidate power.What I'm getting at is that their plan pretty much requires the seizure of democratic control for it to logically work out. This will be fast and clumsy, and we might end up seeing the rise of a president for life (which isn't that long considering Trump is ancient). Or maybe they realize all the above and decide not to do a universal import tariff, settling for targeted/symbolic tariffs instead (but that would run against Elon saying that 2025 will be a very rough year we should buckle down for the wild ride).
>>1361457He's not probably the best guy in the world in every conceivable category!
