Why democrats lost!

U.S. sets record with 1.1 million foreign students -
https://washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/18/us-sets-record-11-million-foreign-students/

One million too many.

And anyway, nearly 1/4 are not students at all, but foreign workers masquerading as students (so called "Optional Practical Training" or OPT).

You do realize our tech industry would look like Bolivia’s if not for foreign students. Like, for example, that Elon guy…

Stop with the nonsense. Silicon Valley and innovation existed before the F1 and OPT and will exist after these programs are repealed

Note that OPT was never passed by congress , never voted on

You obviously have no experience with high tech innovation or Silicon Valley.

The democrats need to run away from Silicon Valley. They need to focus on the rust belt not Silicon Valley, the Hamptons, Washington DC, Hollywood, Wall Street. They are divorced from the realities of the common man.

The common man wants to work. In most of the Midwest, coal mining, trucking, and auto making are the only industries that exist and Dems want to rip away with each through the move to all EV (electric vehicles), and clean energy technologies. That rips away all three of these industries not to mention the displacement from millions of illegal immigrants who can do what dems insultingly call “low skill jobs”. Dems insult half the country. Can they drive a tractor trailer or mine underground for 12 hours for coal? I think not. Calling that low skill is spitting in the face of the electorate. Only 37% of Americans have a bachelors degree. Most Americans don’t live in towns or states with many universities, and many opportunities to do white collar work. We still don’t have high speed rail so people in the Midwest can commute to Silicon Valley for jobs. People on the coasts are out of touch with the realities of people in the middle of the country. They don’t want a mandate to buy health insurance they won’t even use as they can’t take a day off work to go to the doctor without losing their job or losing a day’s pay. Do Dems think every job has paid time off and sick days?

This is where the Dems fail. Their populism is gone, they only cater to Hwood, Silicon Valley, aneurotypical techies, college graduate race and gender study obsessives, and Wall Street

Where they should be focusing is a different matter. The best (and even the acceptably “average”) technology comes from overseas. It’s not even worth discussing.

The least fuel emissions and carbon footprint is also produced overseas in countries like China and India. Oh wait…

Angela Merkel told Trump he’s the first leader to ask when he asked her why there were no Chevrolets in the middle of Berlin but we take German cars.

If you can’t see why Trump won the Rust Belt in 2016 and 2024, then you’re either intentionally ignoring why or just extremely out of touch.

Because Chevrolets are crap cars.

Europeans cars don’t even have air conditioning. The US forced them to raise the bar. They have problems with providing basic needs like water, heat, and AC for their citizens. Comparing Europe as better than the Us is an insult. The EU is placing bugs as a main ingredient in their food supply. They had talks recently in Germany about pedophilia becoming legalized as a preference.

Don’t ever compare us to them

I don't think Elon is the canary in the coal mine that you think he is. He is an opportunist who saw a weak Target and went after it. There is no way Kamala would have been in elon's back pocket doing what he wants and giving him basically the vice presidency but he opened up his pocketbook to Trump and Trump needed that and so now Elon basically owns him

[Anonymous]

Or Elon has stuff on Trump that Trump honestly thinks would drive his voters away so he is beholden to him. Either way he's elon's a little biatch

Is he Elon’s little b when he says battery operated cars are weak and can’t run far?

Trump inspires those with opposite opinions and interests to respect him because he is honest. If he were a mealy mouthed Democrat who said empty platitudes and word salads like Kamala, who exactly would he inspire? The NATO sec. general Stoltenberg, who is not a fan of Trumps anti NATO talk, said he never saw anyone with a force of personality and mandate like Trump. Once Trump threatened to pull out, Germany and all these counties started miraculously pouring billions into NATO for their defense.

Silicon Valley is weird but Silicon Valley is single-handedly propping up the economic engine of the US these days. And yes, that is a problem, but it’s not solved by running away from Silicon Valley and investing in obsolete technology that will put us even more behind and dependent on China.

In my view some of this is reasoned and logical, and some is tone-deaf.

Every election there’s massive drama about how the losing party will be in the Wilderness for a generation. And a few years later the tables turn. Dems just have to wait for the next recession and then pounce.

I think it's a lot more serious than that. 15 million 2020 voters didn't even show up in 2024 - that's a problem. Democrats suffered catastrophic declines among Latinos, Black men, and young people. Harris lost all seven battleground states. Even reliably blue states like Virginia and New Jersey were surprisingly close. And with Vance presumably leading the Republican ticket next election, I see no path for Democrats to win the midwest. Frankly, I don't think Democrats are viable as a national party anymore. Without Trump, Democrats are nothing but some empty slogans and pathetic identity politics. It will only get worse for Democrats once Trump is gone.

You could have written the same paragraphs in 1984 or 2016.

+1. And the current difference in Democratic votes is 7 million compared to 2020, which is a definite difference but we know 2020 had more availability of voting by mail.
Unfortunately the incoming administration has turned elections into a reality TV show, so Democrats might actually need to run someone with celebrity appeal.

Trump won by a collective 250,000 votes or so across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Watch what happens when the Democrats do nothing aside from running a male as their candidate and putting the Republicans on defense for the poor economic record they're going to leave. This isn't going to be complicated.

People assuming that Harris was the problem are wrong. Democrats could have run Jesus Christ and He still would have lost. Democrats lost the plot with issues, from illegal immigration to crime to DEI and gender pronouns and all the other progressive garbage. If Republicans had run a sane candidate, even New Jersey, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Minnesota would have comfortably gone red. Possibly even New York. A white man isn't saving the day for Democrats. Until Democrats start looking at the world through working and middle class eyes, they are going to continue to lose. Millions of illegal migrants don't help the working or middle class. Letting violent criminals go free doesn't help the working and middle class. Bad schools with out of control students doesn't help the working and middle class. And on and on. Democrats are wrong on every issue that matters to most Americans. That's why they lost to a moron.

Trying to isolate outcomes or presidential elections from the personalities that contest them is a fool’s errand.

Kamala didn’t run a bad campaign (although it wasn’t great either - going AWOL after the debate was really dumb) but she was severely handicapped by baggage that alienated her with both progressives and moderates and her lack of charisma.

With a normal runway, a candidate with less baggage and more charisma (not Walz, who proved to be a one trick pony) probably would have won. And the polls leading in to the election generally bore that out.

Likewise, it’s not clear whether the likes of Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, or Ron DeSantis would have prevailed. Trump is a literal cult of personality and has an almost inexplicable appeal to a large segment of the electorate. There is no guarantee those other candidates would have won working class voters as he did.

It's telling when you have to skip over governors and senators, then congressmen, generals and sr cabinet officials, mayors of large cities, until you get to the mayor of Denver. So basically the 400th most powerful Democrat in the country. Mayor Pete is basically at the same level since Sec of Transportation is not a resume builder for Potus.
