Any MAGA that are deep in the cult will never admit that they were wrong. Those who have admitted to regretting their votes seem to be those who voted partyline because they always vote for a R or young people who voted for Trump because of Palestine.

Why would Republicans admit their vote was wrong? They won! So obviously their vote accomplished what they wanted it to. We're the ones who won't admit to being wrong. Which of our policies have we changed in response to the voters rejection of our platform? None.

We keep telling ourselves that the stock market or federal layoffs or Ukraine funding are the ultimate outcomes of politics, but those are all second derivatives. What matters first is winning and losing elections and being in or out of power. We just got booted out of power. Obviously we are the ones who should admit we were wrong. Something about our policies, personalities, and performance caused us to be rejected by the voters. We should figure out what it was and correct it.

I'm a local professor. I've talked to hundreds of young voters to try to find out what happened, and these are the 2 things I heard from them:
1. Palestine. They wanted a hard stance against Israel and pro-Palestine. They were very put off by Harris' statement “Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas,” and believe that Israel did not do that. They think Israel went in like a bull in a china shop and caused as much destruction as possible and it wasn't a fair fight because Israel is so much more powerful than Palestine. They believe Israel used the attack as an excuse to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible not just Hamas.

2. The Harris campaign had a lack of direction. They don't think she had a firm stance on any policies. They do recognize that this was due to the restricted time she had to campaign, but they also believe that she was too meek to take any stances that were anti anything Biden believed or against any policies Biden had made.

People 18-44 overwhelming voted for Harris. However, people 18-25 overwhelming abstained from voting for a POTUS at all. I had 212 students during my Fall 2024 semester. Of those, 191 were registered to vote. Of those 191, only 54 voted for a Presidential candidate (52 Harris, 2 Trump).

I have 220 students for my Spring 2025 semester. 208 are registered voters; 68 voted for Harris; 4 voted for Trump; 1 voted 3rd party, and the other 135 did not cast a vote for a Presidential candidate.

Those are small sample sizes, but if that pattern continues across all campuses, as I believe it does, that is what sunk the Democrats this last go around.

Well, they are the ones who will have to live with the repercussions of electing Trump after the older people are gone. So I hope they are happy with what they did.

The failure lies with the party. Their job is to win votes. They failed to do so, and the youth vote was very clear what it would take. The party chose not to listen. The party got Trump elected. And the party will continue to lose until it decides it wants to win votes again.

No, the Dems didn’t fail. Elon bought the election and childish college students (and Michigan) took a misguided “stand on Israel.”

Now, Trump is posting videos of him and Netanyahu sunbathing on a rebuilt Gaza beach with Trump Towers in the background. I hope all those kids are happy with their protest vote. I’m sure the people of Gaza really appreciate their moral outrage.

I’m so over people not voting in their own interests that I don’t care if the Dems ever get back in. I’m going to be fine. Let these kids FAFO. I hope R’s take away all their student loans.

We live in the stupidest timeline and I feel for our children. MAGAs who are fake christians in all that they do will throw a match to this sinking ship. They care about no one except their fake god dumpy.

We would think more clearly if we stopped talking about "MAGA." We've kind of hypnotized ourselves into this false belief that democracy has been hijacked by a few bad apple racist rednecks.

What actually happened is that the entire electorate shifted right. In spite of all of Trump's faults, in spite of all the warnings from media and academia and establishment politicians, the voters decided that the Democrats were so unappealing that they'd rather have Trump.

The people who rejected us weren't MAGA--MAGA was never with us. The people who rejected us were non-MAGA Republicans, Independents, Swing Voters, and Disaffected Democrats. We keep lumping them in with "MAGA," and calling them all stupid.

We are literally deaf and blind to the message the voters sent to us. I haven't seen a single post from a Democrat wondering how an Obama voter or a Biden voter could have possibly voted for Trump this time. Guess what? Many did. If we can't explain that or even wonder about it, we're screwed going forward.

No. Thousands of independents (me) and moderate democrats simply abstained from voting for a president.

I will never vote for Trump.
Harris was a joke.

I voted in Loudoun for my local election and policies that were up for a vote and skipped the presidential pick.

I consider myself an independent because I like bits and pieces of each party. I want immigration reform. I want Medicaid and EBT reform. I am part of the LGBTQ and want gay marriage to stay legal. I am all for trans rights. I think inflation needed a correction. I do not support tariffs. Etc etc.

I don’t care what you think. You sit it out, you don’t get a say.

That's not how any of this works. If you want to win next time, you'd best start listening to the people who weren't convinced last time.

There won't be a next time because people like you decided to abstain from voting rather then ensuring someone who publicly proclaimed being a dictator on day one, wasn't elected.

If you didn’t even bother to vote, then STFU.

How about you STFU and LISTEN to people telling you why you didn't get their support. You can't bully people into voting blue.

Actually, you did cast a vote by sitting at home being lazy and apathetic. You voted for Trump. And I don't care if you ever vote again or Dem. There is no point in listening to people who lack critical thinking skills and maturity. You and all your buddies get what you asked for.

Huh. They must never have heard of the Biden administration or the sanctuary city mayors.

Dems keep insisting that they don't care about trans athletes, that it's an unimportant issue. Well, 100% of Senate Dems just voted to keep male athletes on girls' sports teams.

The platform is unpopular with voters. That's why Dems lost. Sure, Kamala is not that likeable, but then again neither is Trump. Look at the policies!

Do a little bit of Googling, bro. Biden deported more illegals during his 4 years than Trump did in 2016-2020.

Here, I'll help you:
https://www.newsweek.com/immigrant-deportations-removals-trump-biden-obama-compared-chart-2026835

and

https://ohss.dhs.gov/topics/immigration/immigration-enforcement/immigration-enforcement-and-legal-processes-monthly

and

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-set-broaden-arrests-deportation-routes-expand-immigration-crackdown-2025-02-21/

Trump's highest month of deportations was July 2020 with 91,120
Biden's highest month of deportations was March 2022 with 147,080

No offense, but you're completely out to lunch. The electorate wants closed borders. The electorate wants mass deportations. And NO-ONE other than hyperpolitical hyperpartisan upper middle class striver Democrats believes the ridiculous talking points that "Ackshually, it's the Democrats who are tougher on immigration." Democrats keep confusing their MOST extreme partisan marketing messages with "the news." But the voters obviously aren't buying it.

Biden spent his first month in office issuing Executive Orders to undo Trump's border control and open up the border (to fight racism? or express disapproval of Trump? or serve the bipartisan donor class that wants wages suppressed?) And then the Biden administration waved in millions of third-world immigrants, mostly military-aged males. They let them cross the border, they released them with court dates years in the future, Democratic-run city and state governments refused to share criminal data with ICE, Biden brought tens of thousands of Haitians into small towns in Ohio where they started crashing cars everywhere, and on and on and on.

The illustrious "border bill" was horrible. It had a poison pill in it--amnesty for illegals already here. Republican voters didn't want that, so their Reps were right not to pass it. It also allowed for 3000 or so illegals to cross the border per day...that's a million a year. AND the Dems introduced it in the FOURTH year of the administration as a hypocritical and cynical attempt to trick the voters. It didn't work.

The fact is that even most Democratic voters think Republicans are much tougher on illegal immigration than Democrats are.

Ask the illegal immigrants in your life if they are more scared of deportation now or under Biden. Ask them if their friends from Central America are planning to cross the border and come here any time soon.

If you want to argue with the voters and tell them they are mistaken, you better not be lying to them. They don't like that and they don't forget it.

I don't know what reality you lefties are living in but the country is moving on from the putrid stain that was the Biden-Harris administration and we're much better for it.


MAGA

How's your 401K doing? Or is it all crypto? Oh wait, crypto is down 30% since Trump took office. So much winning!

Way to miss the point genius. I voted. But we lost. And we'll lose again if you continue to refuse to listen to the people whose votes we need to win. It's simple mathematics. We didn't get enough votes, so we need to get more votes next time. And screeching at those people because you didn't get your way is a losing strategy.

The market dip is good because it allows more of us income-restricted individuals to buy in. Could I afford Tesla stock a few months ago at $475/share? Not really. I bought some the other day when it was $221.

I see this as a good thing. And Tesla is only going to go up now with Trump's endorsement.

Any MAGA that are deep in the cult will never admit that they were wrong. Those who have admitted to regretting their votes seem to be those who voted partyline because they always vote for a R or young people who voted for Trump because of Palestine.

Why would Republicans admit their vote was wrong? They won! So obviously their vote accomplished what they wanted it to. We're the ones who won't admit to being wrong. Which of our policies have we changed in response to the voters rejection of our platform? None.

We keep telling ourselves that the stock market or federal layoffs or Ukraine funding are the ultimate outcomes of politics, but those are all second derivatives. What matters first is winning and losing elections and being in or out of power. We just got booted out of power. Obviously we are the ones who should admit we were wrong. Something about our policies, personalities, and performance caused us to be rejected by the voters. We should figure out what it was and correct it.

I'm a local professor. I've talked to hundreds of young voters to try to find out what happened, and these are the 2 things I heard from them:
1. Palestine. They wanted a hard stance against Israel and pro-Palestine. They were very put off by Harris' statement “Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas,” and believe that Israel did not do that. They think Israel went in like a bull in a china shop and caused as much destruction as possible and it wasn't a fair fight because Israel is so much more powerful than Palestine. They believe Israel used the attack as an excuse to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible not just Hamas.

2. The Harris campaign had a lack of direction. They don't think she had a firm stance on any policies. They do recognize that this was due to the restricted time she had to campaign, but they also believe that she was too meek to take any stances that were anti anything Biden believed or against any policies Biden had made.

People 18-44 overwhelming voted for Harris. However, people 18-25 overwhelming abstained from voting for a POTUS at all. I had 212 students during my Fall 2024 semester. Of those, 191 were registered to vote. Of those 191, only 54 voted for a Presidential candidate (52 Harris, 2 Trump).

I have 220 students for my Spring 2025 semester. 208 are registered voters; 68 voted for Harris; 4 voted for Trump; 1 voted 3rd party, and the other 135 did not cast a vote for a Presidential candidate.

Those are small sample sizes, but if that pattern continues across all campuses, as I believe it does, that is what sunk the Democrats this last go around.

Well, they are the ones who will have to live with the repercussions of electing Trump after the older people are gone. So I hope they are happy with what they did.

The failure lies with the party. Their job is to win votes. They failed to do so, and the youth vote was very clear what it would take. The party chose not to listen. The party got Trump elected. And the party will continue to lose until it decides it wants to win votes again.

No, the Dems didn’t fail. Elon bought the election and childish college students (and Michigan) took a misguided “stand on Israel.”

Now, Trump is posting videos of him and Netanyahu sunbathing on a rebuilt Gaza beach with Trump Towers in the background. I hope all those kids are happy with their protest vote. I’m sure the people of Gaza really appreciate their moral outrage.

I’m so over people not voting in their own interests that I don’t care if the Dems ever get back in. I’m going to be fine. Let these kids FAFO. I hope R’s take away all their student loans.

We live in the stupidest timeline and I feel for our children. MAGAs who are fake christians in all that they do will throw a match to this sinking ship. They care about no one except their fake god dumpy.

We would think more clearly if we stopped talking about "MAGA." We've kind of hypnotized ourselves into this false belief that democracy has been hijacked by a few bad apple racist rednecks.

What actually happened is that the entire electorate shifted right. In spite of all of Trump's faults, in spite of all the warnings from media and academia and establishment politicians, the voters decided that the Democrats were so unappealing that they'd rather have Trump.

The people who rejected us weren't MAGA--MAGA was never with us. The people who rejected us were non-MAGA Republicans, Independents, Swing Voters, and Disaffected Democrats. We keep lumping them in with "MAGA," and calling them all stupid.

We are literally deaf and blind to the message the voters sent to us. I haven't seen a single post from a Democrat wondering how an Obama voter or a Biden voter could have possibly voted for Trump this time. Guess what? Many did. If we can't explain that or even wonder about it, we're screwed going forward.

No. Thousands of independents (me) and moderate democrats simply abstained from voting for a president.

I will never vote for Trump.
Harris was a joke.

I voted in Loudoun for my local election and policies that were up for a vote and skipped the presidential pick.

I consider myself an independent because I like bits and pieces of each party. I want immigration reform. I want Medicaid and EBT reform. I am part of the LGBTQ and want gay marriage to stay legal. I am all for trans rights. I think inflation needed a correction. I do not support tariffs. Etc etc.

Kamala Harris got more votes than any Democratic Presidential candidate in American history except Joe Biden. Abstainers weren't the problem Trump voters were the problem. There are a LOT of them, and it includes a lot of "natural" Democrats in flyover states, in the middle class, in the working class, etc. How did an NYC billionaire plutocrat manage to make Republicans the party of the middle class and working class? We helped him! We became the party of Google and Goldman and dcurbanmom. We became the party of LGBTQIA+ and Covid restrictions. We became the party of war. And now we're paying the price.

I don’t care what you think. You sit it out, you don’t get a say.

That's not how any of this works. If you want to win next time, you'd best start listening to the people who weren't convinced last time.

There won't be a next time because people like you decided to abstain from voting rather then ensuring someone who publicly proclaimed being a dictator on day one, wasn't elected.

+1. You acted like you were too good for the process. You get what you get and you don’t complain.

I don’t care what you think. You sit it out, you don’t get a say.

The House and senate could have already passed the bill Trump tanked last year on immigration. Why haven't they?
