Opinion: Trump wins 2024 election. America needs to admit it's not 'better than this.' - Lemmy.World

We can no longer hide behind the excuse of “the electoral college”. We can no longer say that Trump did not win the popular vote. Trump won the Presidency, retook the Senate, and are poised to retain the house. Progressive candidates and initiatives either underperformed or failed nationwide. A majority of voters nationwide saw everything that came with a Trump presidency and a MAGA agenda and said “Yes. We want more of that.”

We are not better than this.

I dont get how someone can vote for Obama twice and then just say fuck it at some point. Isn’t that what more or less keeps happening, how does one make sense of all this?

Simply because Obama did awful stuff too. He’s a war criminal as much as bush or biden or trump.

I thought their messaging to voters was patronizing/insulting as well.
