Both 2024 and 2016 were total punts by the Democratic party, elections that could have easily been won in large margins, but defeat pulled from the jaws of victory in a way that seemingly only they can.

People know if they live in battleground/swing states. And still, the fact is that despite Trump getting FEWER votes than last time (which is an election he LOST, by the way), he WON this time, simply because millions of blue voters in those key states decided they'd rather not vote at ALL, than vote for the Democrats' candidate.

There is no excuse for the results of either of these elections, honestly. It's fucking embarrassing.

Don’t forget they almost lost 2020 as well had it not been for covid they definitely would of lost.

If they'd lost in 2020 the Trump nightmare would be ending in a couple months instead of beginning anew.

LOL that you think it would be ending.
