Here’s the important number:

Just 5% said they regret their vote and would vote differently if they could.

That’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.”

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.
