You know where you can shove your keys Lichtman, right?
making the rounds on twatter:
2020
Biden: 81 million votes
Trump: 74 million votes
2024
Trump: 71 million votes
Harris: 66 million votes
i can see 3M fewer GOPs/MAGAs showing up (4% drop in attendance). energy on the right was on the downswing at the end of the campaign… but 15M fewer Dems voted??? almost 20% fewer than for Biden?
i'm already seeing the post-mortems - she should have talked about the economy more, she should have held more rallies, she should have visited Wisconsin, etc etc etc… but nothing and no one will be able to convince me that misogyny didn't play a decisive role in Kamala's defeat. too many americans - including american women - don't think that a woman should, or ever can, be president. SAD.
edit: there are still millions of ballots in CA to be counted, so the Dems' numbers will improve. TBD how much closer we get to the 2020 numbers, and if it squares with the "record turnout" claims made yesterday. regardless, i stand by my misogyny claim.

technical question, since pondering such issues distracts me from wallowing in the contempt i have for the american voting public…
how did we get results so quickly this time around? yes, 2020 was under the pandemic so there were additional complexities around the count… but we didn't get a final result until saturday. it took 4 days and i don't believe that covid can explain that. how did we get 2024 done in hours and not days??

Some states changed laws allowing early votes or mail in to start being counted before Election Day (Florida has always been great at this), but also it just isn’t that close. Votes will continue to get counted in states “called” but the margins are bigger than 2020 so calls came earlier.
Typical. They are all stupid haters! All racists.
Could it be -gasp- the American people like Trump? Could it be that he talked about issues they care about like the economy and immigration while democrats talked about “joy” and pretty much completely ignored policy instead focusing on how Trump was a threat to democracy? Could it be that many Americans aren’t buying the democratic fear mongering!?
I mean at some point people on our side need to smarten up cause posting pictures on facebook of the Statue of Liberty crying isn’t going to get it done. I didn’t hear democrats address inflation one time! Could they at least have said “yeah it sucks!” They just ignored it.
And are democrats ever going to acknowledge that putting Harris in place of Biden wasn’t, you know, very “democratic “!?!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Democrats see poor white people who live paycheck to paycheck and instead of talking about what they’re going to do to help them, they lecture them about their immense privilege. Which can be, at the same time, both true and also wildly, wildly stupid to say to the largest voting block in the country.

Sounds like the case for a Bernie style populist!
Again, HRC won the popular vote by like 3 million votes! People will vote for women!

The Electoral College is the source of so many voting issues now, as pointed out last night by Laurence O'Donnell there are millions of voters in NY and CA that don't vote there because the results in those states are foregone conclusions.
