Why Kamala Harris lost

In the years since the pandemic, incumbent parties have been struggling in wealthy democracies across the world. The reasons for this are debated, though post-reopening inflation is likely a big one.
Ultimately, much of the public was more resentful of inflation under Biden than they were about Trump’s attempted election theft. And so voters turned back to the candidate they kicked out of office just four years ago.

That's one reason.
Maybe the people at Vox should have admitted that this was a problem years ago and demand their party do something about it before it got away on them.
Oh well. Maybe next time, kiddo.

I'm pretty sure we're not going to get any more updates for at least a few hours.
I can't imagine anybody is still in the mood to be counting anything right now.
We're at 71,183,547 votes for Trump and 66,251,503 votes for Harris.
Not really any movement at all outside of the West Coast since last update.
California is 54% counted with Harris up only 17%
Oregon is 69% counted with Harris up 12%
Washington is 64% counted with Harris up 20%
Alaska is 71% counted with Trump up 16% (and the NYT STILL hasn't called Alaska for Trump).

MSNBC's Joy Reid: "Black Voters Came Through For Kamala Harris, White Women Did Not"

Shut the fuck up, you stupid, racist bitch.
There is NO WAY you could even possibly know this to be the case with the data we have now. And boy do I hope you're totally wrong about this and everybody throws it back in your face.
YOU, specifically you and your big, fat, ugly looking racist mouth, Joy Ried, are part of the reason that Trump is our 47th President.
I do hope MSNBC realizes this now and fires you like they should have a LONG time ago.
There is no place for ANYONE like you on a News Network that is even trying to pretend not to have a hard core political bias. You and half of your clown show you consider colleagues need to pack up all your shit and get the fuck out and make room for actual objective journalism carried out by actual objective journalists.
Maybe they've got a spot for the likes of you on The View, where you belong. Although I doubt it because I think their ratings are about to tank too.

The global trend that pushed Donald Trump to victory
Incumbents everywhere are doing poorly. America just proved it’s not exceptional.
By Zack Beauchamp | Nov 6, 2024, 12:46 PM CST
What happened on Tuesday is part of a worldwide wave of anti-incumbent sentiment.
We saw this anti-incumbent wave in elections in the United Kingdom and Botswana; in India and North Macedonia; and in South Korea and South Africa. It continued a global trend begun in the previous year, when voters in Poland and Argentina opted to move on from current leadership. The handful of 2024 exceptions to this general rule look like true outliers: The incumbent party’s victory in Mexico, for example, came after 20 straight defeats for incumbents across Latin America.
Given Trump’s victory, we can confidently say the United States is not exceptional.

Quote:You forgot Venezuela, Cuba, Afghanistan, North Korea, China, Israel and Iran. All have shown remarkable stability by keeping the same old political powers in power. The fickle finger of fate always points in the same direction in those countries. The finger never does a 180 degree change, or a 90, or a 45 degree change in direction. Always the same direction. Must get monotonous in those countries.

Trump Won. Now What?
The United States is about to become a different kind of country.

Donald Trump has won, and will become president for the second time. Those who voted for him will now celebrate their victory. The rest of us need to prepare to live in a different America: a country where millions of our fellow citizens voted for a president who knowingly promotes hatred and division; who lies—blatantly, shamelessly—every time he appears in public; who plotted to overturn an election in 2020 and, had he not won, was planning to try again in 2024.
Above all, we must learn to live in an America where an overwhelming number of our fellow citizens have chosen a president who holds the most fundamental values and traditions of our democracy, our Constitution, even our military in contempt. Over the past decade, opinion polls have showed Americans’ faith in their institutions waning. But no opinion poll could make this shift in values any clearer than this vote. As a result of this election, the United States will become a different kind of country.
When he was last in the White House, the president-elect ignored ethics and security guidelines, fired inspectors general and other watchdogs, leaked classified information, and used the Department of Homeland Security in the summer of 2020 as if it were the interior ministry of an authoritarian state, deploying U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Coast Guard “troops” in American cities. Trump actively encouraged the January 6, 2021, insurrection at our Capitol. When he left the White House, he stole classified documents and hid them from the FBI.
Because a critical mass of Americans aren’t bothered by that list of transgressions, any one of which would have tanked the career of another politician, Trump and his vice president–elect, J. D. Vance, will now try to transform the federal government into a loyalty machine that serves the interests of himself and his cronies. This was the essence of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, and its architects, all Trump fans, will now endeavor to make it become reality. Trump will surely try again to dismantle America’s civil service, replacing qualified scientists and regulators with partisan operatives. His allies will help him build a Department of Justice that does not serve the Constitution, but instead focuses on harassing and punishing Trump’s enemies. Trump has spoken, in the past, of using the Federal Communications Commission and the Internal Revenue Service to punish media organizations and anyone else who crosses him, and now he will have the chance to try again.
Perhaps the greater and more insidious danger is not political repression or harassment, but corruption. Autocratic populists around the world—in Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela—have assaulted institutions designed to provide accountability and transparency in order to shift money and influence to their friends and families, and this may happen in America too. This is not just a theoretical threat. As loyalists take over regulatory agencies, filling not only political but also former civil-service jobs, American skies will become more polluted, American food more dangerous. As a result of this massive shift in the country’s bureaucratic culture, Trump-connected companies will prosper, even as America becomes less safe for consumers, for workers, for children, for all of us.
American foreign policy will also reflect this shift toward kleptocracy. In his first term, Trump abused the powers of his office, corrupting American foreign policy for his personal gain. He pressured the Ukrainian president to launch a fake investigation of his political opponent; altered policy toward Turkey, Qatar, and other nations in ways that suited his business interests; even used the Secret Service to funnel government money to his private properties. In a second term, he and the people around him will have every incentive to

How long do you think it will be before Ted finds his balls and comes back to the RWED?
You don't think we saw his last post ever here yesterday, do you?
He just paid Haken $30 for keeping the lights on for us. It would be a shame to walk away now.

POLITICO: Trump Has Humiliated His Foes

Donald Trump didn’t steal the 2024 election. He has won it — clearly and comprehensively.
Democrats warned that Trump and his supporters are prepared to hijack democracy. Now they must ruefully acknowledge another reality: The Trump movement, no matter how much this appalls opponents, is a powerful expression of democracy.
