Trump voter regret is clearly registering now - Lemmy.World

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.”

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).

Thanks. It had an impact on me, as it’s my right to vote for who I want to win. Without regard of who people are afraid of winning. If the Democrats are really concerned, they can pick better candidates.
