The democrats lost because they were stupid

Maybe Kamala Harris could have won the election if the democrats had actually tried to win people over to their side by rational means. Instead, we saw claims of how stupid Trump supporters are, how they're all crazy, and how they support a madman. We saw ads that appealed exclusively to emotion with the only statistics being ridiculously exaggerated, quickly making democratic news sources seem unreliable. Moreover, they constantly doubled down on things like DEI which, as a democrat, I think is stupid and many other democrats also think is stupid. They refused to be flexible. They refused to read the room. They refused to be reasonable. Now they've paid the price.

No, Trump won because Republicans are stupid. Project 2025 will destroy the USA.

I wouldn't normally solicit forum topics like this, but these topics have been rapidly buried under all the election chaos, so I figured I would post a link to these topics here in case anyone is interested in discussing something that isn't the election right now: Preserving the human condition, A Mathematician's Lament

I agree that Project 2025 is a serious threat to our democracy, but my point is that this could have been prevented! Democrats simply were not smart about campaigning. Their advertising was an absolute disaster!

Saying things like "the Republicans are stupid" may seem harmless (and I'm not disputing its truth either), but it was the constant demeaning of the other side, among other things, that lost the democrats the election.

Christians have proved that they would rather elect Hitler than to have a woman to be their president.

You have to understand that Christians dont vote based on logic. They vote based on faith, which is why Trump can get away with making false promises over and over and it works every time.

In 2016, it was "I will pay off the debt" lol?

In 2024, it is "I will stop all wars"

Nothing can be done about it. Low IQ people think in emotions and whatever promise feels good, they accept it.

Its not Kamala's fault that 70 million people in USA have 90 IQ.

That's a "damned if you do damned if you don't" situation.

Like "If Hitler hadn't killed the jews Germany would have been better off"

Yea that's obviously true, but then he wouldn't be Hitler. If they had given me a rational honest person as an alternative and not destroyed the rule of law by trying to imprison political rivals I would have gone for him/her, but they left me no choice and they left the public no choice because of what they are.

So the better way to put this would be: Maybe if they had nominated RFK they could have won, but RFK is a threat to the deep state and the deep state controls the traditional press and still holds a few of the social media infinity stones.

So what you're really saying is: If they weren't an evil lying international warmongering conspiracy they could have won.

...and my comment on that is: Yes, I think that's right.

I think it would be a mistake to try and explain this with trivia about the candidates characters. That analysis is old, tired, and a bad predictor.

Half the people who voted for Trump think his ego is too big and its kinda creepy how he marries people, divorces them, and then they stick around. It's like an informal harem.

Kamala wasn't the most charismatic, but it's "the economy stupid".

People engage when things aren't going well and when they engage they don't focus on character they see both parties as a whole and the cultural movements they represent (which is the appropriate way to judge).

Anyone who lies are so transparent would have had a hard time not being drowned by the wave. She tried to simultaneously claim credit for the last four years of "good", say she wouldn't do anything different from Biden WHILE claiming to be an agent of change.

Only the fully zombified would have failed to see through that.

No we are just trash.

Trump never even fully endorsed Project 2025. Made up just to promote Kamala, even then, some of the policies themselves are giving harsher sentences on Child S** Offenders. What's so bad about this?
