"Why Didn't Voters Care About Biden's Many Accomplishments?"

Because after #GenocideJoe sent Israel weapons for more than one year, knowing that those weapons were being used for genocide, any other good deed by Biden is like asking: "Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?" #politics #Campaign2024

What went wrong in #campaign2024, according to Politico:
"Overpaid consultants" and "working-class voters of all stripes abandoned them."

Before working-class voters abandoned us, Pres. Joe Biden and Vice Pres. Kamala Harris abandoned working-class voters. Their four years of tweets repeatedly and stupidly disrespected working-class voters. I read four years of their tweets, to retweet the best of them, but their worst tweets were stupid. My next message has some examples of this. #politics

Consortium News

New York Times: "How Kamala Harris Burned Through $1.5 Billion in 15 Weeks."

Jeff Jarvis: "If she hadn't spent it, they'd be criticizing her for that."

Me: Yes, but Kamala Harris should have spent her $1.5 billion more wisely. It could have resulted in her defeating Trump. #Campaign2024

@FelisCatus @Dimples

In 2024, Trump received 2-3m fewer votes than in 2020; Harris-Biden 13-14m fewer.
Why did so many voters stay home?
There are 140m poor & low-wage adults in the US, "43% of our country":
30% of white ppl
60% of Black ppl
68% of Latino ppl
68% of Indigenous ppl
Everywhere a living wage was on the ballot, Dems won.

Democrats Deserted Working Poor: Bishop William Barber on Healthcare, Living Wages, Voting Rights

“Why is it that the issues that most of the public agrees with — healthcare, living wages, voting rights, democracy — why is it that those issues weren’t more up front?” We speak to Bishop William Barber about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s failed election campaigns, Donald Trump’s election as president and the urgent need to unite the poor and working class. Barber is the national co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, president and senior lecturer at Repairers of the Breach and a co-author of the book White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy. He urges the Democratic Party to recenter economic security and poverty alleviation in its platform and draws on historical setbacks for U.S. progressive policies to encourage voters to “get back up” and “continue to fight.”

Democracy Now!

"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."

Democrats Have Only Themselves to Blame

Kamala Harris supporters are already blaming a stupid electorate and an inclement economy for their historic defeat, writes Luke Savage. Maybe it had something to do with cosying up to war criminals and billionaires?

On #TheDailyShow, Desi Lydic said: “America voted Trump out of office in 2020, and what happened since then? Trump tried to overthrow the government, he was convicted of 34 felonies, impeached twice, he promising vengeance on his enemies, and he was re-elected." #Campaign2024
Why Kamala Harris lost: "While it’s impossible to discount misogyny and race, there’s more to the explanation. Elections at their core are about change versus the status quo. Do voters like the way things are going—or not? And if they don’t, they’re inclined to change horses":

The morning after a historic election, words of solace and solidarity from a political veteran.

Vanity Fair
Melinda Gates: "This is a discouraging day for so many people across our country and around the world. But make no mistake: Nothing ends here. While many of us hoped for a different outcome, we knew that this was a possibility. Advocates, activists, and champions for Americans of all backgrounds and identities have prepared for this moment, and they are ready to work at all levels using every tool at their disposal to ensure that progress keeps moving forward." #politics #Campaign2024
