Summary
In the 2024 election, Democrats excelled with highly engaged voters but lost ground with less-engaged voters, particularly younger, working-class, and non-college-educated individuals.
Vice President Kamala Harris won among voters who closely follow politics by 5 points but trailed Donald Trump by 14 points among less-engaged voters.
Democratic strategists highlighted failures in outreach, reliance on narrow data models, and ineffective messaging.
Critics noted the party’s brand is often defined by extreme voices, while Republicans capitalized on dissatisfaction with the economy and national direction, resonating with everyday frustrations.
Surprise surprise. The ignorant fell for the party that excels in spreading misinformation, hate, and fear.
The real shocker here is we learned the ignorant account for the majority in America now.
Dark future.
It was probably always this way, they just weren’t engaged with the process until one of their own usurped a major party and let them feel comfortable being openly ignorant and bigoted again.
Do you really think we can really say a majority or even half?
only approximately 1/4th eligible voters voted for him, a right goal has always been to create swarms of apathetic or single issue voters. I guess it definitely still counts as ignorance
I mean if people don’t vote, they don’t count. If the majority of voting Americans vote for something, then I’m going to say the majority of Americans. The majority of voting Americans are ignorant. The rest simply don’t count because they’ve chosen not to count.
Note: That obviously doesn’t include those not of voting age.
Okay 13 day old account created the day after the election
Like did you create the account just to spread pessimism and really believe that’s the best way forward?
Reality has more nuisances than good guys and bad guys
I don’t fucking care. Your amateur detective skills don’t mean shit. You haven’t achieved some kind of gotcha.
No, I created the account to escape fools like you on Reddit. It didn’t work.
Not always. And it’s “nuances” not “nuisances”.
Oh no, a typo, I must be illiterate
