When Harris was nominated, I told a friend of mine that my biggest fear was it was going to energize racists and sexists because she was black and a woman. I though she was great candidate, but the level of racism and sexism in this county is beyond insane.

It was actually because they gaslit people into believing that Biden was a competent candidate until like 3 months before the damn election.

THEN didn't even hold a primary.

And then let Kamala Harris completely train wreck the campaign and say shit like 18-24 year olds were stupid (notice how most of those votes from men for trump were around that age?) And sure, the video was taken out of context but she did say it and these dumb fucks didn't care what the context was when they see that clip droning on their TikToks and shit.

America does have a racism and sexism problem but to tell yourself that that is the only reason she lost this election would be lying to yourself in a very major way.

I did vote for her too, btw. First time I ever voted. But Jesus Christ the democrats just seem like they don't want to win at this point.

Thankfully it looks like that did not happen. So far Trump got less votes than he did in 2020. It's just that Harris did not manage to get the democratic voter base off the couch.

People keep saying this but they haven't finished counting the votes. In California alone only 55% of votes were counted and he had 4,000,000+ votes there. The remaining votes could easily put him past his 2020 total.

I love how so many men in the comments are butt hurt by this comparison. Almost as if it hit the nail right on the head.

That seems bang on average for the entire country. If anything that suggests to me that men in that age group are less susceptible to trumps influence since other age ranges of men were in the 60s and 70s

Well, there's still 42% who voted for Harris. What's wrong with them?

[-] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 47 points 16 hours ago

Nothing is wrong with them, but I get not wanting to gamble with thos odds.

Especially when, according to the national park service, "when bear encounters do happen, they are most often nonviolent". So if you had to gamble...

I am both disappointed and not surprised that half of young men voted for him

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 15 hours ago

Half of everybody voted for him. This is such a ridiculous post, those are barely off the numbers for the whole election. Which is ridiculous, but why single out this group?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 12 hours ago

Gotta be pissed off at someone, I suppose. Some blame leftists, some blame Latinos, some blame men.
