Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I still think lots of the "trump voters" were actually "man voters".
Trump beat Hillary. A woman.
Trump lost to Biden. A man.
Trump beat Kamala. A woman.
I'm still of the belief that 2024, Biden beats Trump.
I don't think so. In each case, there was significant dissatisfaction with the losing candidate prior to the election.
Also Harris straight up refused to denounce a genocide. Not a popular stance for people who would usually be voting democrat.
So logically they voted for an even more aggressive perpetuator?
However you feel about it is irrelevant, it’s one of the reasons she lost.
No, many didn't vote or they protest voted.
I think you are severely overestimating the average U.S voter here. Religious cultists will not vote for women. The U.S is full of religious cultists.
Don't give them ideas, they will not hesitate to run Hunter Biden.
Hunter vs Don Jr.
A matchup for the ages.
God, if only Stephen Colbert would still be hosting the Late Show in 2028. Imagine the Don Jr impressions!
A lot of people wonder what George Carlin's material today would be about. I already know what it would be about. Just listen to his old material, and have AI insert the name Trump into his old material about the republicans draining the country for personal gain. See, the thing is, his material isn't timeless. It's just that we as a society haven't fixed our shit, or fixed the core problems that gave him material. If anything we've amplified the problems. So if Carlin was complaining back then, I assume his modern day stance would be to take a pistol to the mouth. I can't imagine complaining about problems you can't fix, for 30+ years, and keep living to watch it get progressively worse over time.
Hillary won the popular vote.
It's more some Trump voters only voted for Trump because he was seen as anti-establishment. So Mamdani being seen as anti-establishment=those type of Trump voters voting for him.
You’re not wrong. Sexism and racism are defining characteristics of this country’s voters.
I see how you would think that. But, I think you're delusional about 2024. If Biden didn't decide to run again and there was a real primary, the democrats would have had a real chance. The problem was that both Hillary and Kamala were basically appointed as the candidates by the party.
Your comment is the real sexism. And socialist erasure, for that matter.
Run an actual leftist woman and watch her cruise to victory. I fucking dare you!
Bernie lost to Hilary, a woman.
