I present to you an article in which the headline tells you that an important person is going to give you an explanation as to why this one dumb state is the only one out of 50 (even counting Alaska and Arkansas) who can't add up numbers using first grade math. And yet, somehow, the explanation doesn't say anything at all other than "it's hard there's a lot of votes give me a break".

I think it's safe to say at this point that California is terminally r-slurred and might need someone to teach them how to count.

"I know a lot of Latino men that wish they were White.. A lot of your fathers. A lot of your uncles. A lot of your grandfathers. God they wanna be White so bad but they never will be. I hate that sh*t. I hate Latino men that oppress the women in their family, their own daughters" pic.twitter.com/6et46mKdkW

The alt right appeal to men has been really growing since at least 2016. I think since 2008 and especially in the smartphone era. I think also helped by anti-LGBTQ propaganda from right wing media.

Since 2014. G*mergate.

Gen Z = Hitler Youth

And I hope the little shits suffer for it

!fellas do you think he'll decriminalize imports on test, dbol, GH, and HCG etc. as long as we promise him we're not pooners?

Edit: lol astroturfing janny of /r/skeptic tried to lock a thread about this calling out RFK for being frickin nuts which hit the front page and then backpedaled under pressure when they realized it was just regular participation from a popular post

I suspect they caved because it would probably look bad if everyone who only mildly cares saw what they were doing actively/daily for the last 6-12 months trying to censor all dissent there and accusing anyone who didn't suck the gock of being a trump supporter, ask me how I know! @X

His promises include: Revoking critical gender affirming care, forcing the stop of all gender transition federal programs, outlawing the concept of there being more than two genders, investigating INNOCENT HRT doctors, utter madness! I myself am already making plans to marry my Canadian partner to flee this now fascist country.

Remember when those podcasters who were being paid by Russia kept calling for civil war? This is the next action item on the list.

Elections have consequences and we will be living with the consequences of this one for the rest of our lives.

Dude, I got reported to the principal of my high school for inappropriately touching a girl once. She hugged me in front of her dad and he called the school the following morning. Principal asked her what happened before I even knew, and she told the truth. She approached me and hugged me. It was just how we said hi. (My generation had a whole "Be Kind" movement because this was 2014 and we started noticing the "Loneliness Epidemic" pretty early. There's signs still hanging up around town to this day.) Principal told me not to associate with her anymore, to keep myself safe. I'm 28 now. That was my first real instance of racism, living in deep blue Maryland. It's our whole life story.

If you thought the racists were emboldened last time, just wait.

What makes them think this aren't from the Trump Transition team? It certainly sounds like a Project 2025 thing to me.

Honestly would be awesome if they started breeding in the wild and had a sustainable population.

Holly Willoughby This will be a quick post about the absolute lolcow that is Allan Lichtman and how he horribly misjudged the 2024 US elections. I'm too tired to bother with headings and sheeit.

Allan Lichtman is an American historian and political analyst, best known for his development of the "Keys to the White House" model which he uses to predict the next US president. He has been correct 9 out of 11 times prior to 2024, and his model is regarded as very accurate. His method is based on a set of 13 true/false statements, or "keys," which take into account factors like the economy, the incumbent party's record, social unrest, and foreign policy issues. According to Lichtman, if six or more of these keys are false, the incumbent party is likely to lose the election; if fewer than six are false, the incumbent party is likely to win.

Prior to the 2024 elections he went on several talk shows bragging about his model and how confident he was that Kamala Harris was going to win. He gave Kamala Harris 9 out of the 13 keys to the White House.

Many people made fun of Allan Lichtman for being so confident, including Nate Silver. However, this did not dissuade Lichtman from sticking to his model.

Rightfully, folks are making fun of him for getting the prediction so wrong.

Here he is admitting he was wrong. What a cuck! He says he's going to take some time off to figure out why he was wrong

No more Allan Lichtman! Hand over the keys!

Ann Selzer is now pondering that her poll WAS right, but because of its release, Iowa voters got concerned Trump would lose and thus elected him by ~13 points, instead of choosing Harris by 3 points. pic.twitter.com/yhU2ihM3fv

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Jaime Harrison on Thursday responded to Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) accusations that the party has abandoned the working class, contributing to its loss of the White House and Senate on Election Day.

"This is straight up BS," Harrison wrote on the social platform X.

"Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP's plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country," he wrote, referring to Vice President Harris.

"From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain't a good one," he added.

Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, issued a blistering statement on Wednesday asking whether "the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic party" will "learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign."

"It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them," Sanders said, citing economic inequality across the country, the high cost of health care and U.S. support for the war in Gaza.

With results still trickling in, Harris appears to have lost the popular vote by more than 4 million votes, and Democrats lost key Senate seats that flipped control of the upper chamber into GOP hands.

A final call on the House is still up in the air, but Decision Desk HQ forecasts show Republicans with a strong chance of scoring a trifecta.

Sanders supported Harris along the campaign trail and said recently that he still considers her "progressive" despite her tacking to the center during a campaign that lasted about three months, after President Biden quit the race.

But his postelection rebuke of the party has sparked controversy as many in the party point fingers and search for answers about what went wrong on Tuesday.
