    exit polls showed that harris lost mainly on the economy. You just want to pretend it was gaza so you can point fingers.

      Nope, it was the apathy. Democrats that came out to vote for Biden 4 years ago stayed home. That’s a FACT you can count in the number of votes cast this election vs last.

      You know what else is a fact? People that stayed home and didn’t vote DIDN’T GET EXIT POLLED.

        Exit polls and polls leading up to election. Come on now, lets not mince words or pretend the data wasnt obvious. They did know. It was all over the news snce the day she started her run.

        “The economy, particularly inflation and the cost of living, is the primary issue for a majority of voters.”

        https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm24g1nj364o

        Bidens historically low approval rating was well documented, and the reason for it being low was well understood. She chose to say that “she couldnt think of anything she’d change” or something like that. She ran on a platform that had already ended up on the rocks long ago. Centrists just put their fingers in their ears and pretended Biden was the second coming of FDR whenever Biden was criticised, but the numbers were there waiting to be read if you cared about reality and dropped the infantile “rooting for your sports team, blue no matter who” mentality.

        88% of Americans disagreed with how the US was acting in the Israeli war on gazans. Did you think that would be cost-free, or that Biden showed he had votes to burn in the last election or the ones before that? he didnt. Harris knew that wouldnt be consequence free. She ran with it anyway. Thats just Bidens stubborn rightwing-fellating petulant stupidity thats been the hallmark of his entire career bleeding into Harrnis’ campaign. A competent politician wouldnt have taken on that baggage when it was so obviously going to cost big in swing states.

        https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/arab-american-voters-struggle-to-back-harris-over-u-s-support-for-israels-war-in-gaza

        “The vice president has said she would not change from Biden’s policies, and argued that Israel has a right to defend itself. But she has also said that far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed”

        Shut up pro-Russian account.

        (He’ll start whining something personal, my proof is in that he won’t answer the question “are you pro-Russian”, watch;)

        Are you pro-Russian? (And yes, this is related to the thread because you can’t not be trusted a pro-Putler person to talk about genocide when you don’t accept Uighur genocide happening either.)

            Why would you advertise being a drop-out? Russian education is already so garbage.

            Are you pro-Russian? Simple question. Just say you’re against Putler invading Ukraine, unless you’re actively for it?

                So you are pro-Russian and support Russia breaking international laws with their invasion of Ukraine?

                    Yes, politely asking the same question you’ve always refused to answer, just like davel@lemmy.ml does as well.

                    It’s really not weird for anyone that you don’t reply. We know you can’t trust your government enough to even when you’re spreading it’s propaganda to lie about not agreeing with it. Like how in North Korea you’d never joke about harming Dear Leader.

                    That’s why you refuse to say you’re not pro-Russian. Because you are. If your education wasn’t so bad, you might realise that this is pretty clear for everyone else. :)

                    A single Yes-or-No question. “A tantrum”. You need more English lessons, comrade.
