return2ozmaTrump voter regret is clearly registering now
TrackinDaKrakenHere’s the important number:
Just 5% said they regret their vote and would vote differently if they could.
PapaSkwatThat’s the important part. And even that 5% would have voted for Harris instead, she still wouldn’t have won. Most people in this thread who are celebrating and laughing only read the headline.
This kind of “told you so!” stuff and thinking they were untouchable is what led the the Democrats loss. And will again if people aren’t careful. People need to stop thinking “Not Trump!”, because that doesn’t win elections. Dems need to come up with some good candidates who are more than just “not Trump.”
criscodiscoThe party is losing support poll after poll after poll, and they think attacking leftists is going to help. The polls are screaming that they are going in the wrong direction, and they are completely obsessed with Hasan Piker right now. There is a coordinated effort going on across social media that is so sad and obvious. They are flailing and crashing out and it’s pathetic. I’ve never seen a party more outwardly hostile to its own voters than the mother fucking Democratic party. The Republicans at least feign like they care about their voter’s desires (mostly because they just tell their voters what they want).

Yep, just now, in another thread I was accused of being someone else and being propaganda. LMAO All because I said that back in 2024, Lemmy was way more hostile to people who criticized the Dem party. It was wrong to do then, and wrong to do now lol
Democrats just can not accept responsibility for what happened. They need better candidates or shit’s gonna get even worse. How hard is it to find someone under the age of 60, and who had independent forward-thinking ideas and cares about the public?! WTF?!
The Democratic party isn’t there to represent left-wing voters. They’re there to make sure that left-wing voters don’t get represented by any party
LemmyngBefore any Centrist disagree, ask yourself who’s currently the president and why. Ask yourself if centrism is a viable strategy for stopping Trump and candidates like Trump based on the evidence, not the common knowledge that’s been disproven
5% regret their vote
Read that, then look at how small election splits are. This is a good thing.
Do we get frustrated and angry as we wish everyone who defaulted to voting right because their parents did and they don’t know better and can’t be bothered to read real news? Yes.
Should we be happy when enough people show change to be visible on the horizon? Also yes.
because their parents did and they don’t know better and can’t be bothered to read real news?
OR some people just don’t believe the same things you do, and they vote Republican. Welcome to democracy. Not everyone who votes differently than you is just ignorant and can’t be bothered to read the real news.
Pushing the fallacy that Republicans/republican voters are stupid, is that made you all lose to Trump. Twice.
I know plenty fo republicans who are smart and a force to be reckoned with. I don’t agree with or subscribe to a lot of their views, but I wouldn’t call them stupid.
Thinking they’re stupid is what fucked the Dem party in the first place.
Also, before people attack me for being a trump. Nah, you can attacke me for being “BoTh SiDeS” because I think both sides suck equally. I’m a third party voter. Proudly.
The ones you speak of don’t regret their vote, and never will, so I have no need to address them as it relates to the statistic. Also, ignorant doesn’t mean dumb. Lastly, I’m glad you feel your third-party vote had an impact, vs voting in primaries to push the right candidate that could succeed. (if one happens).
Have you read the article? Because it’s not 5% but 16% that would vote differently:
So while some might prefer to not call it “regret,” 16% would apparently do things differently with hindsight.
You’re giving the average person too much credit. Majority of people are genuinely incapable of either learning a lesson or applying the lesson elsewhere. Like sure they may now see some bad results of their vote and may regret it but they’re not actually internalizing any of it, they’re not working on themselves to be less susceptible to authoritarianism or to break to down any of the bullshit they believed on the way to making that vote they “regret”.
I’m not giving anyone any credit or arguing anything at all. I’m just stating the facts from the article.
These are articles are for leopardsatemyface crowd. It’s simply about smug hur during. Nothing of value will be accomplished. Probably gonna get worse.
We’ve heard this from their own mouths. They may feel regret, but they have learned no lessons and have clearly stated they would do it again. These people are evil beyond redemption.
mercIt’s possible that some of them don’t want to admit to a stranger that they’d change their vote.
But, most of it is probably choice-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization. They believe they’re smart, right-thinking people and that they couldn’t have made a horrible mistake, so they look for reasons to feel like they made the right choice, despite all the evidence against it. They’re supported by a whole group of propaganda networks that explain away every bad thing that Trump does and shift the blame to democrats, liberals, trans people, immigrants, non-whites, women, etc.
Yes but it’s actually 16% that would vote differently. These people are just incapable of admitting having done the wrong thing and admitting regret.
When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again — compared to 91% for Harris voters.
So while some might prefer to not call it “regret,” 16% would apparently do things differently with hindsight.
That’s a pretty weak headline tho. \s
