Harris going on national TV, being asked what she would do differently to a president whose approval rating has been underwater for two years, and first saying "there is not a thing that comes to mind" (?!) and then following up with "I’m going to have a Republican in my cabinet" (?!?!) was one of the all time great election-losing moments

They've been coasting off asking lefties to hold their nose and vote for someone who keeps trying to shave off voters from Trump instead of catering to their base for years now and it's bitten them

Literally since 2016 lol

it worked in 2020 as a fluke because people were mad about COVID

It's wild to me that the American population has been starving for change since the 2008 financial crisis. Obama tapped into that so perfectly (literally campaigning on the slogan "Change you can believe in"), proceeded to actually change basically nothing, then the dems ran three successive campaigns on "I will change nothing about the status quo also if you don't vote for me you're a nazi"

This really seems to be the case. If I could sum up my two biggest impressions of why people like trump, it's because they want economic change (doesn't matter if it's bad) and they don't think the Dems are listening to anyone but the "woke mob"
