Discuss your thoughts on the election here.

I said that if I was a betting man trump was going to win. And he did

I voted for Harris but her campaign was very lackluster compared to orange man. I think her campaign ran too center right and was vague and safe. Her slogans were all about hope and the future without really giving us ideas or plans besides abortion rights. Which I agree with. But there are a lot of Americans who don't care about abortion issues. She was pretty much set up for failure because she wasn't the choice the people wanted. There were no democratic primaries so it would be like if the Naruto manga ended and the writers introduced some new character who is related to Naruto but not as cool. It also doesn't help that one of the main campaign slogans was "she's better than trump"

Trump however had control over twitter and podcast appearances like Joe Rogan which probably helped sway a lot of voters. He even managed to get the younger audience with streamers like Adin Ross. Plus the UFC audience with Dana white. Plus his cult. He had a lot going for him where he wasn't an underdog like the 2016 election. He simply just had more going on in terms of popularity.

The reason why he lost in 2020 was because of covid, which meant more mail in ballets, which meant more voters who wouldn't have voted before. It also doesn't help that 2020-2024 was not only more expensive, but also had covid. Which means more blame put on Biden. And hey if I was an American who didn't know any better, I would be nostalgic over life before 2020 by voting for that president.

If you think that the reason why a candidate lost primaries, the popular vote, electoral colleges, etcis because of sexism and racism. You are going to be disappointed with the next election
