It got laughed off because of the person who posted it. I can't tell whether or not gothuevos is less tiring to read now that Trump did actually win, or if the despair gothuevos had before the election is now shared and I no longer find their posts tiring in the same vein.

I mean, if we're going by this thread, I guess I "won" with the closest map. Sure, I posted two maps, but my "Trump wins" map is only missing WI.

Additionally, I stated months ago that Trump would get close to 80m votes and got roasted for it.
C'mon man you hedged by posting two maps

Yeah I got shit on for saying the DNC should have pulled the plug on Biden and had a real primary because Trump was going to beat him thanks to the economy being so shit for so much of the working class and all I got in response is greatest economy evar you dumbfuck! Though much worse is how many people still insist Kamala was such a great choice. IDK maybe you should run someone who could win a single primary in the general?

Yeah, I couldn't help the two maps hedge. Giving in to the thought that the US would once again choose the objectively worst person for President was too much.

I don't put much into polls, but since people bring them up as an indicator, I didn't see how Trump didn't have at least a 50% or higher shot at winning, and I didn't see why people were so adamant that Trump was going to lose total numbers of voters. Just with new voters turning 18 alone I figured Trump would hit around 80m or more.

About Biden...I knew he'd be the candidate as long as he could mostly string a sentence along. As much as it sucks, that's the system...unless the President chooses to step aside, you're pretty much running the President for better or worse. I do think Harris did about as well as she could have given the situation, and I think that Biden's advisors and Democratic leadership should have did the ol' switcharoo much earlier.

But even with all of that, it appears that most of the political parties in charge during Covid-Inflation are getting voted out, so there's a good chance that it might not have mattered.

Fuck it, I'm just interested in solutions at this point. We still don't have all the data. Resiliency and accountability have to be priorities for those of us who don't want an authoritarian autocracy.

IDK I always expect the worst out of the United States and it usually turns out to be correct. Completely lost any faith in this nation when no one went to prison for the 2008 crash that robbed the millennials of ever being able to have the kind of success gen X and the boomers had and it just keeps getting worse with housing and education prices spiraling out of control.

I suspect Democrats were going to lose no matter what they did with Biden/Kamala or a primary. As we can see once again, American voters for the most part do not understand how the federal government works.

The Democrats were doomed the instant we knew they didn't have enough control over the Senate to break the filibuster. Most voters think if you put a Democrat in the WH that is enough for them to do whatever they want so if they don't fix everything fast enough it's all their fault.

Yeah I LMAO'd when one guy here said a month ago that he had faith Murican voters would ultimately do the right thing. I guess people actually believe the old BS Churchill quote. Maybe not anymore they won't...

Coincidentally....

The only reason I'm responding with the population distribution map is that the areal map makes the US look incredibly conservative, when that's far from the truth. (Conservatives love ignoring this fact and post the above to show just how red the US "is").
Yea, but look at all that land mass.

I think there is a solid chance if it was a straight white male candidate with the same campaign they would have gotten a few million votes more than Kamala and definitely enough in the right places to have won this

Even acknowledging price of eggs is too high and you want to target the corporate greedflation would have helped..

But they couldn't upset their donors could they?

Did you not hear Kamala say a million times about stopping price gouging on groceries and day to day items by corporations due to the high prices of things [due to greedflation]

she never said greedflation but she said the rest.

Yup, MSM even commented that it sounded like "price controls" and it would never happen in the U.S. (POTUS doesn't have that kind of authority.)

Also, which administration capped the price of insulin and forced big pharma to negotiate drug prices with Medicare in the near future?

I wonder if the Trump Congress will revoke the ability to negotiate those 10 drug prices. I know many want to.

I doubt it, but if Repugs ultimate goal is to cut entitlements, it would make strategic sense to start here and see how the populace reacts to it. Harris "held serve" with senior voters, so that isn't where we lost. So even if Dems made a big improvement in that vote because Trump fucks them on drug prices, it's all the low-propensity voters that would be unmoved.

A sad state of affairs, my friend.

that map is both very cool and difficult to read. i guess the data is done by voting district, and that's why some areas are so small? like, denver, SF, ATL, detroit, philly, chicago, DC have "smooth" appearances. houston, SLC, boston, and basically the entirety of the florida panhandle look like a million tiny sticks stuck in the air.

i think it would be better to show purple hues where the vote split closer to 50/50. the coloring reminds me of a stereoimage - and maybe that's what it is since it's red/blue. i just don't have any 3d glasses handy to test it out.
