It definitely explains it. I saw the numbers broken down somewhere. Basically men wouldn't vote for a woman. I'll bet if you look at Hillary v Trump you'd find the same thing. IMO-Biden would have trounced Trump in 2016.

Misogyny, why you bother me… *sung to tune of “Anxiety”*

They're in a bit of a pickle. If they try "look, you have to accept backsliding on your policy goals and candidates who are too-conservative white guys, just for now, because we have to beat the fascists and that's more important," they'll face the rejoinder that that's what they said about Biden.

Plus, inflation affected the incumbent elections of so many other countries post-2022. No idea why here would be any different.

You said she ran a good campaign. She didn’t. She ran a terrible campaign.

It's just fucking flat out false to call this all "right of Reagan". Biden ENDED the Afghanistan war! That's the exact opposite of Reagan!

Biden literally broke a strike which caused one of the worst environmental disasters in US history

Trump said Elon helped him win the election with the voting machines. I believe him.

fuck you, monster. claiming the side of justice bsky.app/profile/smoo...

The closest comparison has always been post-1990 Russia by basically every metric

Brazil is the other possible comparison, but it has a Black majority as opposed to the US's dwindling white majority *and* they have in fact elected a female President

*last year

I voted for Harris because she would still be a lot better than Trump. Still, I stand by what I said. If you think calling me "fragile and weak" advances some sort of cogent argument, you have a big problem. Same with "non-white voting bloc". It identifies you as part of why we have Trump now.

Ask any politician if they would rather run for reelection on 8% unemployment (which is bad but *most* people obviously still have jobs) or 8% inflation( which literally affects everybody) and it's a no brainer. Inflation is an electoral killer.

To be fair, it’s “people hate inflation and we don’t have a political system that gets them beyond ‘throw the bums out.’”

trump's sketchy attempts at interfering with the fed in order to *lower* rates create the possibility of the funniest thing to ever happen

My new think tank-https://tenor.com/bg7bO.gif

If you hire the right staff (children of the extremely wealthy) this will increase your odds of being funded.

… and I’ll join

Sounds like a good workable start

Previously known as the “it’s the economy, stupid” think tank.

Worst numbers *yet*.

Despite trumps idiotic tariffs, inflation isn’t particularly high right now, and items that my friends said made it feel high under Biden - interest rates and home prices - are coming down or leveling out. To me it is surprising to some extent.

2/2 Any vaccine removed from the schedule by the committee will still be available but will no longer be free. The VFC covers half of the vaccine age kids in the US, so as many as 10 million kids will be denied vaccines if they are unable to pay. Vaccine denial for RFK, service denial for Miller.

Let me guess, he has $15 Billion distractions.

Not unlike Hillary. Sigh.

The PHITLNOWHL Institute, it's honestly catchy

I'd say shut up and take my money but creating too many think tanks drives the supply up, which drives prices for think tanks down, which causes inflation to fall, and I'm a Democrat and want Trump to suffer.

Oh Well now i want the full story :)

How about the “I was given free money and then bitched when it caused inflation” institute?

I knocked on a lot of doors in western PA in the weeks before the election. Racism and misogyny of course, but my anecdotal experience heard more about inflation than anything else

Harris lost because of Gaza, despite Trump vowing to be worse on Gaza. Harris lost because of Inflation, despite Trump's Tariffs being obviously worse for inflation. Harris lost because she's speaks word salad, despite Trump speaking little else. Every "reason" Harris lost Trump does worse.

How much for a dozen eggs? Why? Are the chickens on strike?

Looking back 90% is an overshoot.

@gelliottmorris.com And nothing to do with racism or sexism

😂😂😂

I mean sure every other party in power that came up for election that year around the world got its ass kicked because of inflation, but surely it must be due to My Pet Issue for the US election

If the Fed would’ve lowered interest rates, at least a little, she’d have had a better chance. I think she only lost by 200,000 votes.

And that's why this country gets what it deserves. Even red states that voted for abortion rights in their own state still voted for him. Fuck those bitches.

Can I have a job doing fundraising?

sprinkle in a little bit of good ol' american racism and sexism and then you're really cooking

And now Trump has made it worse for no reason, and people are even angrier.

I mean yes and Palestine. Also she had no platform. Why would you buy a car that has no features? Why would you vote for a politician that offers you nothing?

I think 2024 convinced us that the think tank is actually the "people will eat any amount of dirt if it means they get permission to be their worst selves" institute

I hate, really hate, to quote James Carville but, "it's the economy, stupid". This is an electoral axiom

Misinformation campaigns by supporters of chaos that constantly harped about how bad inflation was when it was getting better are 90% of why Harris lost. Note how inflation is getting worse again and will continue to do so yet those voices are silent now. Hmm. Wonder why?

“The only people who love inflation are nearing the end of a subsidized fixed-rate 30-year mortgage” institute is small but focused.

If 90% was inflation then that makes 350% racism…

The electorate weighed a coming train wreck against the price of eggs and voted for the train wreck anyway.

I enjoy hearing about all the political tactics, the subtle communications strategies, and the slicing and dicing precinct-level results cross-referenced with demographic information, but I think you are absolutely right. The test is how Trump's failure to bring down the cost-of-living goes.

And funding genocide in violation of our own laws.

funny, Big Discoveries forthcoming, no doubt

just saying the truth but hey it's absurd af

Racism was the bump, sexism was the set, inflation was the spike.

lol. OK, Republican op, you’re doing a good job.

Well then it’s going to be rough going for those in power once the 24 million Americans who get health insurance via ACA exchanges see their new premiums on November 1. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Firm believer we lost the presidency to misogyny, racism and bc Harris would not be blackmailed by the Gaza non voters.

No she lost because the right scared old white people that the poc woman would take their lives. They played to racism, sexism and himophobia making evrryone an enemy

People hate inflation if their wages do not rise.

Here is $10 million. Get to it.

And this is a huge problem with the Democratic Party. We keep telling people what they should want rather than giving them what they’re asking for.

I’m sure this will be misinterpreted. I think women should rule the world and I’ll continue to vote for any woman I can. But we live where we live in the culture it is. The majority of Americans have shown stupidity here. But the electorate runs the show. It used to anyway.

Most Americans don't want change.

Harris "lost" because musk rigged the swing states.

And ….. look what they got

Millions of Americans thought Joe Biden was boring. Millions more — not always the same ones — craved the entertainment they remembered from Trump’s first term — the ephemeral controversies, the personal dramas, the stories told in simple language. They got what they asked for.

I’m sure that’s a problem. I don’t think we can know if it’s more serious if polls don’t ask the question. After all, someone too apathetic to answer a poll may be more likely not to vote as well.

The election was stolen. Musk and Trump admitted it. “Anything can be hacked” per Musk.

Haven't you teleported yet? Why don't you review the last hundred years of progressive taxation legislation.

Sponsored by InflationCorp!

Oh I thought he was being serious

If your politician for the next election is not opening with "Lets tax the rich" Fuck them.

10/10, no notes.

But I have a beard when I say it so you know, get it?

You are absolutely right. Trump was making economic promises while goading Democrats into talking about social issues. As much as I loathe to quote him today, as Clinton's chief strategist in the '90s James Carville said, "It's the economy, stupid".
