Live election results, and analysis of the 2024 General elections.
per Decision Desk, it looks like trump won. I’m starting to see a few outlets like NBC call Pennsylvania for trump, too.
as a trans woman, i’m fucking terrified.
yeah, if you voted for trump this election, after everything over the last ~9 years, you’re fucking evil. straight up evil. lots of people, worldwide, are going to suffer because of this as the world falls deeper under the influence of fascism. take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones, form communities, and be prepared to fight for your lives. we’re going to need each other if we’re going to to make it through this
That’s the kicker. No matter what Harris do, no matter how left her policy is, no matter how stern her gaza stance is, she’s gonna lose. The world is moving toward right. My country’s on the way there too unfortunately.
tbh, i dont think toeing the biden line on gaza is what id call stern. if anything, i think she lost votes bc she couldn’t commit to actual consequences for the genocide beyond a finger wagging.
No. She lost because a massive Russian and US-fascist campaign corrupted the state of the media until people couldn’t tell up from down.
“I care so much about the Palestinian people that I have no choice but to become ‘unexcited’ about the only candidate of the two who doesn’t actively want Netanyahu to exterminate them even harder” is yet another example of the nonsense-logic they managed to get into the conversation. If Biden had been taking a hard line on weapons shipments, the big catastrophe about the left candidate would have been something else. I can almost guarantee it.
She lost because too many americans are racist, sexist and apparently rotten to the core. There is no policy position that Harris could have taken that would change any of that because to MAGA none of that matters. Only Dear Leader matters.
False equivalency will be the death of our country. The media has been pushing this line for decades, even when it has become clear that the GOP has been getting more and more extreme during that time.
Even Jon Stewart immediately started pushing this garbage that none of this really matters, and we can just live our lives like it was just any other election. Meanwhile, all of his colleagues in late night media has been fighting hard to combat the disinformation in their own way, and this is how he rewards them.
Hey, Jon… in the words of Jon Stewart: “Go fuck yourself!”
I don’t mean toeing the biden line, i mean stern against israel. I might have spoke too soon because we might get the full picture once we see the voter turnout. So far it seems like american vote for trump, without exception.
Americas garbage education system (which he wants to dismantle further) combined with people being inundated with false info means they live in an alternate universe
not a meaningful difference, but if it’s true that only a fifty-something percent voted, then the other half just doesn’t care what is happening with them and their folks

Still baffled me that more than half of US population support him

she lost because she tried to play games with lives. should’ve been strong on Ukraine and Palestine
Trump has been strong on his opinions on both Ukraine and Palestine, and his opinions were fucking terrible.
Those that didn’t vote against that are a problem.
I fully agree I voted but I think her inability to have strong positions inspired nobody
