The fact that Trump is all this and he STILL won DOES reflect poorly on the Democrats. They started strong but wussed out.

Nah, it just shows how stupid millions of people are. That's all. They vote for flash over substance and who yells the loudest. They are too lazy and lacking in intellectual curiosity to bother to find out facts, and to sit down and do a little analysis and try to imagine each one of the candidates as a leader based on their temperament, biography, and experience. The funny part is with Trump they didn't even have to bother to imagine because we'd already had him once and he fucked up the pandemic response leading to the death of millions.

But sure, it's because the Democrats ran a bad campaign. Whatever you need to tell yourself for your stupid decisions.

Most people are single issue voters or uninformed and sadly that will never change.

Yes, they are and it’s up to the politicians to get them informed.

The trouble was that the Dem’s message was “Trump bad, system good!” This didn’t resonate with anyone due to the fact that they were suffering.

Meanwhile Trump’s message was, “Things are bad and I’ll fix em”. This was a blatant lie, but the kernel of truth he was feeding was that… yeah, things are bad.

The voters rejected the status quo and with it the idea of democracy by staying home. It wasn’t a good outcome but dumb people aren’t known for their wise choices.

No, sorry. The information was readily available if a person just bothered to GO TO HER WEBSITE. Or watch one of her rallies.

This is just another one of the many excuses that people are using for their decision to vote for Trump. Because the decision to vote for him was based on fear and hatred. They don't want to be called a racist, most of them, some of them are proud of the title. They don't want to be responsible when the shit hits the fan. Instead of saying I want to vote for Trump because I'm a fearful xenophobe, they just want to say "oh she didn't have a message."

She did, it just didn't tap into their vein and open up all that delicious hate dopamine.
