The California ballot measure to ban prison slavery lost lmao fuck this piece of shit country
Now the Fed can finally do their recession
Jerome Powell is Trump's guy, he's not going to do that.
Libs on
acting like this description doesn't fit every single president of the usa lmao
ermmmmm, actually, Harris wouldn't have been geriatric.
socialist tankies owned epic style 
The Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves. You cannot beat Trump by running as a centrist and campaigning with Liz Cheney. You give people nothing. You promise healthcare reform and student debt relief and then don't do shit.
There's a reason Trump's "drain the swamp" lies work so well. People know both parties are controlled by their corporate owners, and they're sick of it. Trumpism has it's roots in disaffected working class people, they've just been convinced minorities are to blame for the faults of capitalism.
When material conditions worsen, people are more likely to embrace fascism, especially when there's no alternative but the status quo. If they had let Bernie run in 2016, he would've beat Trump then. But no, the Dems love the status quo, they love their corporate owners, and most of all they love genocide. End the Demokkkrat party.
My turbolib natohawk dad just went "keep your bags packed and money in your wallet in case you have to leave, the biggest shithead has just become the leader of the world" regarding Trump getting elected.
We are in Finland... wtf does he think is going to happen? How are these people real? How are these people this gone that they think the US president is the leader of the world. Unless they only count the west as "the world" (I assume it's this).
I didn't want to stir the pot by asking if nato is still a good idea or where he thinks we should go, Russia? Lol
perkele moment
you guys should come to saint-petersburg. I'll show you around
I'd like to see trump wriggle his way out of this one lmao

Staggering class realignment/shift in working class
Harris lost DESPITE major shift of affluent voters her way
2020: Trump wins voters over $100K, 54-52 2024: Harris wins voters over $100K, 54-45
2020: Biden wins voters $50K-$100K, 57-42 2024: Trump w/ voters $50K-$100K, 49-47
2020: Biden wins voters under $50K, 55-45 2024: Trump massive improvement w/ voters under $50K, 49-48
I'm going to just keep spamming this chart. I started telling liberals two years ago that this exact graph was going to be a huge problem for Biden, and they didn't want to believe it. They can chirp about how inflation is low now or unemployment all they want. People have an economic indicator they can check 24/7 from their pocket: their bank account balance. More people at the lower end of the income distribution were keeping more of their paycheck than probably at any other point of their lives at the end of the Trump admin, and now they have less of it than at almost any point of the Trump admin. There's a reason even the GOP struggles to cut Medicare and Social Security despite constantly talking about it: no one likes it when you take money out of their pockets, even the most deranged of chuds. Voters punished the Democrats for not doing enough to keep money in their pockets.
I'm having a lot of morbid fun right now sorting /r/politics posts by "controversial". The mods there are obviously having trouble keeping up with their usual censorship duties. There's a lot of leftist-perspective truth being spoken.
Damn, really? Hopefully this wakes some of them up to the truth then.
Oh I doubt it. This is just a moderators-are-overwhelmed thing. Once posting frequency dies down the mods there will be able to turn it back into an echo chamber.
Oh yeah, I just meant that this loss for the dems might shake some users enough that they start questioning the propaganda.
Lie with the dems, get up smeared in blood
another shitlib sniping from me
Fuck I woke up, saw the results and just realized I'm gonna have to deal with my lib civility teachers today. I'll just keep like a running tally of what identities I hear being blamed for kamala losing
liberals are now saying trump rigged the election 
Hell yeah, Blue MAGA rise up
Saw this by some libs in , what are y'alls thoughts?
Also lmao at the last one thinking the rest of the world will see the end of american hegemony as a bad thing.
“yOuRe vOtE mAtTeRs!” he won before they even counted my state 🤷♀️
It should be illegal to announce any results before all the polls close, but yeah it sucks.
all those articles from months ago that were like "it's really strange how Americans seem to think the economy is bad when it's actually really great and awesome. what could possibly be the explanation? republican media? brainwashing? have they just not been told that the economy is good? are they spoiled from all the money we gave them during the pandemic?" are extremely funny in hindsight.
political analysts spent years of their lives in the best universities; now baffled at the fact that the area under the curve of an inflation graph is more important than whether the curve is going up or down, and whether wages outpace that inflation. calculus makes fools of us all, I suppose. so as much as I wish that Harris would have lost solely on the basis of pro-Palestinian voters (this would be the best possible timeline out of all the horrible ones where Trump wins), it might in fact just be the economy, stupid
Incredibly frustrating to hear "educated" neoliberals talk about how "inflation is lower than anywhere else in the developed world" in response to people complaining about how high prices are. Those are fundamentally different things! Its day one, "EcOnOmIcS 101" stock versus flow variable stuff. The prices are too damn high! Saying prices are growing at a slower rate than elsewhere is a terrible retort to that complaint.
That CNN graph showing only 5 counties in the entire country where wage growth outpaced inflation needs to be spammed to all of these losers.
The funny part is that Trump will destroy the economy, too, if he actually implements his tariff plan without first spending years subsidizing domestic manufacturing (which it seems like we're only doing for chips right now because the US is concerned about losing Taiwan for some reason). I wonder if people are right and we'll either trade off one term presidents now or devolve into fascism. Unless capitalism's immune system can spit out another FDR to save it with some New Deal style concessions.
Honestly, whoever ended up in charge was fucked either way, because I think we are on course for another big economic "correction".
On NPR this morning, there was a story on Latino voters. The guest opens the spot saying, "the top issue for Hispanics was actually the economy" and "most said that they were worse off financially compared to 4 years ago." The guest and host then spend 5 minutes talking about how the problem with Harris campaign's outreach to Latino voters was that they used the terms Latinx and progresista.
Absolutely nothing will be learned by liberals.
it'll be interesting to see how the next decade develops. i predict an increasing rift between the political class and basic awareness of reality as they rely ever more heavily on metrics that demonstrate concretely how good the economy is under their own management, not even realizing that their own thumbs are on the scales. woe unto us all when some company starts offering to use "ai" to fill in sparse econometrics.
dems discovering latinos are people with their own brainworms be like 
yeah random fucking dominican shop-owner cares a lot about plight of mexican seasonal worker, they are basically the same
Can't wait to see liberals incorrectly apply "gusano" to latinos the same way they incorrectly use "tankie".

I already have my "Barron 2042" yard sign proudly displayed. It's never too early. The Barron/Hawk Tuah administration will be the first Maoist presidency in the USA 
Let sleepy Joes lie 
sleep with the dogs, old joe, die with the fleas
Realizing that Trump's worst policies will be things that the Supreme Court would have done anyways under a Democratic president who wouldn't have lifted a finger to reign them in or diminish their power to govern.
Also it can't be overstated that the worst case scenario for Gaza is that Trump continues Biden's policy on Israel.
