I am in Europe and absolutely flabbergasted and sick to my stomach. I can't believe that what formerly was a beacon of civil rights and world free trade is now descending into isolationism and cult-like fanatism.
On the radio they interviewed a Trump supporter who said that Trump had built a party that was "inclusive and called for unity" while the Democrats were "the party of hatred". In my world the exact opposite is true...
I thought David Axelrod spoke perfectly about the Democrats struggle with working class voters. He noted that they approach them like Margaret Mead studying the villagers and telling them "we'll help you be more like us". Condescension isn't usually a winning message. Going back to Brexit - culture trumps economics.
Like many of you, I am in shock. For two years, the pundits have derided trump and said, “but this is not the country we are” Or “Election Day will be a test for the American people.” Well apparently this is the country we are. And the winners want an autocratic society run by a man who only wants to be the president of people who agree with him. This will be my last post on this substack. After I post this, I am unsubscribing. For quite a while, I have not been able to watch the videos (I’ve offered the reasons why before), and I get frustrated by the shoddy “journalism” and the smug tone. I have enjoyed the camaraderie of the community, I feel like I “know” some of you, and I will miss you.
It's over. I can't believe that Harris won Illinois by 4 points. FOUR POINTS??? Biden won in 2020 by 17 POINTS over Trump. Clinton also won by 17 POINTS over Trump in 2016. I don't know what to say...yet.
I think the media has failed badly once again. From the far-right networks that just blatantly lied to tell the narrative they want to be true, to the others that either portrayed the race as one about different policies or were simply too afraid to go after Trump. I have enjoyed Chris' analysis and believe that he is truly fair, but for my own sanity I think I'll be checking out from him and other media for the foreseeable future. Good luck with your Substack Chris.
It always was going to take a miracle for the incumbent party to win. No incumbent party has ever won with wrong track numbers like these (65 percent of voters thought nation on wrong track)...and worldwide the results have been similar in elections. Harris gave it her all but could not defeat the voters feelings on the economy.
If we had had an energetic healthy Biden running, it might have been different, because the country is telling me that we will never have a woman President.
Un fucking believable. This elite, coastal, out-of-touch, college-educated liberal is in shock…AGAIN! What the hell happened?

Biden was right. They ARE garbage. We may be witnessing the end of the American experiment.
Very weird take away from a fair election which had many people select who they want as their president
Wait...the Biden WH told America that he did NOT call Americans garbage.
A convicted criminal and adjudicated rapist in clear cognitive decline. We'll be lucky to survive the next four years.

I never get sick to my stomach, I feel like I’m going to throw up 🤮
Hey if you get sick, when Trump takes office RFK Jr will take care of you! :(
Wow! I’m shocked that courting Liz and Dick Cheney didn’t work out for the democrats!

Biden is the villain here. He should have not run again and stood up to the leftwing of his party.
Why wait so late in his term to address immigration or border?
Disgusting. Just how fucked up is this? lol.
MAGA
Let’s hope we don’t have another pandemic if RFK Jr now bans vaccines lol
That's OK because we won't have the ACA (Obamacare) anymore. Back to what we had before, whatever that was.
And the totalitarianism state begins….

Where do you think anti DT gop-ers go now?

Democrats have lessons to learn: actions have consequences.
This is what you get after you threw incumbent President out of the bus.
If President Biden was still in the race, we would have been more optimistic about the race.
Please. We would be losing even worse.
If we had had an energetic healthy Biden running, it might have been different, because the country is telling me that we will never have a woman President.
Says who?
