Dean Phillips would have won
Hell, I think even Witmer would have won

I'm not sure that we are more racist than sexist. We had a black president, who even got elected to 2 terms. We have yet to have a woman.
Either way, awful.
None of the women who have run had Obama's charisma. Harris was a bit of a wet blanket and clinton was just unpleasant.
And we need to be honest about what a presidential election really is at its core: a popularity contest.
I am genuinely disgusted at how this could even happen like this. He got the popular vote? By 5 million?
Yeah, it wasn't even the electoral college fucking us. He straight up won, by a significant amount too.
He's lost at everything in his life, despite trying so much and having every advantage. At a certain point the law of large numbers has to kick in.
And the one time he does it's because of nazis lol. Still not really a victory.
Oh its worse then that.
Just winning would be bad, but with the popular vote that is a mandate.
Having a clear mandate would be very bad but the house/senate would both need to go red to be able to execute the sort of mandate promised. You know that thing that also happened.

If George Clooney was the democratic nominee, he would have won easily.
yeah, but George Clooney has multiple oscars.
I've been thinking this for a while now. Nothing gets people more excited than a celebrity, and Trump is proof of that. Dems definitely need to fight back with a classically "alpha" seeming white male celebrity to fight back.
Until education is fixed in America it's reckless not running a celebrity figurehead. This is the ugly fact.
While I highly disagree with the concept of turning the office of president into even more of a joke by purposefully electing more celebrities, someone like Nick Offerman or Robert Downey Jr. Would easily be able to defeat just about any Republican candidate just on popularity alone.

Many terrible things are coming, but my heart is aching for Ukraine this morning...
The list of people fucked by this is pretty long.
Maybe they could get together all across the world to undo it.
And Gaza and Lebanon.

Yeah, I'm giving up after this.
The Democratic party just can't deal with the stupidity and racism that is the American population.
I mean for fucks sake, Black and Latino voters increased their votes for Trump this time around.
Just time to hang up the hat and let America burn.
Also:
Biden got 81,282,916 votes
Harris got 66,153,556 votes
Americans didn't even bother to show up and now we have a Republicans in control of all three branches again. Yeah, there's no saving this democracy.
I volunteered at county Dem HQ and was tasked with texting Dem voters who hadn't shown up at the polls by noon. Each page had maybe 50 names on it. And only 3 or 4 voters typically voted. It was a disaster.
Maybe now the party will learn that guilting and harassing people doesn't work. If I get an unsolicited text from a campaign, it makes me significantly less likely to vote for that candidate. I'm not going to reward that sort of tactic.
Yeah I have zero fucks left. I am done with this bullshit. I canvassed for the first and last time this election as it's quite clear it did jack shit. I'm withdrawing from being a concerned citizen. The idiots voting for this shit can have it. I'm going full libertarian in my lifestyle. My family matters and nothing else. I am truly sorry for those who didn't vote for this and will suffer greatly. I just can't do it anymore.

Absolutely. Trump did not have a significant bump in votes, 10 million voters did not turn out, or so early figures show. Of them, it's largely white suburban males. Apathy leads to populism. Dr. King had something to say about white liberals...
