He simulated oral sex with a microphone during a campaign speech

[milestogo]

and millions of people voted for him to be President.

He tried to overturn an election and millions of people voted for him to be President.

He stacked the Supreme Court with people who were ready to strip women's rights and millions of people voted for him to be President.

Because the high price of eggs is what matters.

[Walleye]

1. So true, and eggs really aren't that expensive lately

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. But he said they were, and that is all that mattered.

The same people that ride around in $50K trucks and 1/2 million dollar homes voted R because of $4 eggs.

[milestogo]

6. And some of them live in rural areas where you can barter for eggs.

[onenote]

18. According to Feeding America, one in 7 housholds experience "food insecurity"

Food insecurity -- the inability or uncertainty about the ability to provide their families with nutritious meals. That's over 30 million adults.

So, yes, the price of eggs -- and the price of food generally -- matters to a lot of voters. And while prices have come down from their peak and inflation is returning to normal levels, a typical bag of groceries costs more today than it did in 2021.

And people care more about the price of groceries, than Trump's gross, unfunny behavior, even assuming they saw or heard about it.

[onecaliberal]

2. That isn't the reason.

If Kamala had a dick, we’d most likely have won.

[milestogo]

3. As long as she didn't get it through an operation.

[LisaL]

7. Good point.

NT

[Walleye]

10. Yep, it really is that simple. No need to complicate it.

[PortTack]

32. Exactly!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

35. She would need to have her skin bleached.

Tribalism still exists today. Those who look like us are acceptable; those who don't look like us are rejected.

A white uncle who shows up drunk at the family Thanksgiving dinner then pukes on the turkey is better than any well-mannered, educated person of color, who is just uppity.

[relayerbob]

40. Yep

That, and the color of her skin was not cerated trough layers of pancake makeup. They preferred Trump's "Beautiful white skin"

Everything else only was used to amplify their fear and bigotry.

[LisaL]

5. And it's not like the price of eggs is going actually decrease.

NT

[Walleye]

11. I hope we harangue them daily and never let them forget that they promised lower prices. Ain't gonna happen.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. They hide their bigotry and misogyny behind "economic concern".

[Amishman]

9. yes, and despite all that the voters still preferred him and his party over us

We can't change the electorate, we can only respond to it.

Time to craft a message and set of priorities that will work, because what we have isn't working.

We're losing ground in voter registration. We've completely lost rural voters and losing ground in the suburbs.

The only demographic we're not losing ground with are white voters, and they lean Republican already.

Time to close the fairytale book and put away our wish list, and embrace the reality that the majority America simply doesn't want what we have been selling. Time to come up with a different flavor that is more palatable for the masses.

This is the downside of a two party system. If we don't pivot so we can offer a viable alternative that voters will back, the Pubs are effectively unchecked.

[travelingthrulife]

22. More palatable to them is getting rid of non-white people, women and anyone

they don't like. You up for that?

[valleyrogue]

23. It isn't about salesmanship. Why do people keep yammering about it? It is the voters ALONE

who are responsible for their votes. You cannot--repeat CANNOT--change people who were raised to be racists, sexists, and xenophobes. The schools, a favorite whipping boy in liberal circles, did NOT make these people that way. Their parents did. They HAVE to learn the hard way when they are made destitute by the far right's policies, should they be enacted. Even then, I doubt they would change. They would just lash out at "the other."

I suggest people stop watching the MSM and especially the talking heads. These media people either don't know what they are talking about, or they are deliberately deflecting from the real problem.

The problem isn't with the Democratic Party. The problem clearly lies with those who voted for Trump.

[Amishman]

25. Yes, the problem is with the people - and we can't change them. So if we want to be competitive, we need to change

If we stay the course, we will continue to hemorrhage voters. The numbers don't lie, the landscape has been moving away from us for over a decade now. Sure, acute conditions have allowed us to buck that trend some years, but the tide is still going out. Our party's share of the electorate peaked in 2008, and has been moving away from us since.

[valleyrogue]

27. So you think we should be a carbon copy of the GOP.

You really don't understand this at all. YOU. CAN'T. FiX. THESE. PEOPLE.

The only answer is to go after the nonregistered, nonvoting, public.

[Katinfl]

38. Totally agree.

But how do you get the media to talk about it? The real reason people voted in such high numbers for him is because we are a racist nation. We knew he would get a certain number of votes, his base, but the numbers actually increased. He got a good percentage of independents (if I am correct). Go figure. With all his faults, vile rhetoric, indictments, etc. he increased the numbers. You cannot convince it was about the cost of groceries. Let’s just see if the MSM goes there with that point. Right now I am. It watching any MSNBC or CNN. I am getting it from this site and a few others. Can’t take the chance I will see his face or hear that voice.

[Emile]

12. It started with their little stickers on gas pumps

blaming Biden for the price of gas. The Republican propaganda machine convinced millions of voters upset with inflation to stay home on election day.

If Democrats failed, it was because they were not educating people that Predatory Capitalism was jacking up prices to recover losses that happened during Trump's pandemic.

[milestogo]

13. "Predatory Capitalism"

You're going to have to dumb down that phrase quite a bit to be effective.

Maybe pictures...

[Emile]

15. LOL

[valleyrogue]

21. Democrats can't fix stupid.

It wasn't the economy, anyway.

[valleyrogue]

24. Wrong. It is about the hatred towards women, women represented by Kamala Harris.

People need to quit deflecting from the real issue.

[Emile]

26. How many of those millions of voters who stayed

home were women?

People need to quit deflecting from the real issue. It was inflation caused by Predatory Capitalism. The Republican propaganda machine wrongly blamed the Democrats.

[Autumn]

14. That is nothing. he stole classified information and gave it/sold it to whoever he wanted

His wealth hasn't increased by billions on his stock shit. He will do it again. All his friends will be given clearances to they can do the same thing. Nobody has changed anything to prevent him from doing that again.

Pretending like he's sucking a dick is nothing.

[milestogo]

16. Millions of people don't give a shit about national security

until buildings fall down.

[onenote]

17. Millions of people probably never saw it. And millions thought it was funny.

150 million or so people voted. Probably 20 million watch the news.

[milestogo]

30. Imagine if a female candidate simulated any sex act in front of an audience-

what would the reaction be? She'd be burned at the stake, taken off the ticket, never allowed to speak in public again.

[Jack Valentino]

19. And Doritos. Don't forget the high price of Doritos.

Am I wrong in thinking that a standard bag of Doritos has almost doubled in price since the pandemic??
Now $6.89 at my Dollar General... (think they were $3.99 at Kroger a few years back, but I haven't checked lately).

Luckily I usually get a store brand if I want that sort of thing, but GEEZ!

However, I never believed that President Biden was involved in any way
in setting the price for Doritos!

[valleyrogue]

20. The economy had nothing to do with it.

This is all about the "aggrieved white males" who are exacting revenge on women, especially the younger ones which Musk and Thiel concentrated their efforts on.

[StarryNite]

29. The price of eggs was probably to get the vote of "their" women.

"Their" women because they see women as possessions. The same way as they see farm animals.

[Mr. Scorpio]

28. He's also an angry white male

Which suspect was 90% of his appeal

[IronLionZion]

31. Convicted felon, brags about sexual assault, openly sexist and racist, dumber than a pile of shit

and enough Americans are into it.

[Dave Id]

33. Messaging

Trump was messaging to his puppet master Putin that he is ready to serve.

[kimbutgar]

34. If I had a young child I wouldn't have wanted them to see it or explain what he was doing

It was so gross and unpresidential. It should have been a disqualifing.

[Katinfl]

36. Exactly, and that is what bothers me the most.

Overlooking all of his faults (way too numerous to mention) because of the price of a loaf of bread or a gallon of gas. Also, don’t forget she is a black woman. I don’t get it.

[talking-liberally]

37. It's what Duterte did prio to his election in 2016.

According to Maria Ressa, drumpf is copying Duterte. Yikes.

[Beck23]

39. They didn't see the clip

That wasn't on Fox News so millions never saw it.

[LiberalArkie]

41. That believe it or not was a selling point. It was MACHO. Very MANLY thing to do

That is where we are.
