americans are awful at protesting. they show up, cant figure out where to park, have no organizations, have lame chants (e.g. hey hey, ho ho, donald trump has go to go), present the same meaningless meme protest posters, leave tons of trash behind, and it last a few hours. Nothing is sustained for multiple days or weeks, and the solidarity is with people who already were with you.
I think there are 3 reasons.
The economy is ALWAYS, FUCKING ALWAYS, the driving force behind the general public’s vote. The current American economy, when observed at a macro level, has been great under Biden’s presidency. Inflation induced by COVID and Trump’s first term policies has been declining, GDP is up, the trade balance is good, and interest rates are starting to come down. Americans aren’t benefiting from this in their personal finances. The wealth gap is severe because of trickle down economics. The democrats are shit at communicating this or even having a plan for it. Instead the democrats campaigned that identity politics were as important as the economy. Just fucking stupid. We all know the democrats policy on minority rights and protections. Talk about the economy and how you’ll make individuals wealthier.
Some exit polls asked what emotions voters felt when they voted. The bi-partisan answer was overwhelmingly anger. (I think it was a cnn poll and a smaller website poll.) Guess which candidate plays into that emotion and guess which ran on “good vibes and joy.”
In 2020, Harris wasn’t well liked and didn’t primary well. She may have done her job well as VP, but the public didn’t know about it. She and her campaign didn’t even communicate what she was doing. When she was “anointed,” that turned off many democrats. Most of the excitement came from relatively few. The relatively many democrats or people who could be persuaded to vote democrat were not motivated. At current count, Trump has lost about 6 million votes from 2020. Harris has about 14 million less votes than Biden in 2020.
TLDR The DNC are master fuckups
she was anointed like Hilary Clinton. Voters dont like that.
Additionally, she and the democratic party didn’t tackle or communicate economics, which is always issue #1 no matter what.
the american green party supports greenbacks, not green nature
Greta was very passionate and convincing as a teenager pleading for action on climate change. She’s not very educated beyond this
they all sound weird
time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana
the more concerning conspiracy for the right is that a black person might be president, again
The democrats control the weather and sent the hurricane.
great. now his popularity will increase with republicans
My gf got me a cast iron pan. I despise it. It’s so much work compared to my other pans and I don’t see any benefits. I only bring it out if she’s watching me cook over my shoulder, so now I cook I tell her to relax on the sofa with some streaming or a book.
Is roblox a gacha game? My little 7 year old nephew wants to play but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate (as the gaming liason in the family)
There are macro plastics in my sack
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.”
This is literally not the definition of insanity.
I’m a professor at a business school. They are 2 different fields.
why are ethics and sustainability in the same class? They are 2 different fields. It’d be like lumping a sociology and math class together.
Pete Buttigieg explained that Vance has no positions or principles. He’s a power hunting glory seeker. He thought Project2025 would be a path to that power and glory. It’s quite possible he doesn’t give a shit about P25, but now he’s tied to it.
I know women in porn who say the opposite.
