Summary

Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.

This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.

The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.

By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.

    You listed things they tried, but didn’t work

    The entire point of a campaign is to attract voters…

    Literally the only metric that matters for how good a campaign was, is how many votes they got.

    And Kamala drastically underperformed.

    So her campaign wasn’t “magnificent” it was a spectacular disaster that couldn’t beat trump with everything you listed and a billion dollars

      Yup. If she ran a magnificent campaign she would have won.

      I was arguing with my buddy about this last night. He kept saying that she had to pivot right to have any chance of winning the election. Me pointing out that she performed terribly in the election didn’t matter to him. In his eyes shes did everything right and the voters are to blame I guess?

        They can never give any logic behind it, and they’ll never learn it doesn’t work.

        But moderates will repeat that line as often as Charlie Brown will attempt a field goal, with the same results over and over again.
