Wait... This chart is hard to read. This chart is ... "how much more important these issues are to people as a percentage, than they were as a percentage in 2020?"
really? I must be reading this wrong

Why is there such an obsession with immigration?
Do you want to pick strawberries? It's back-breaking and sucks.
E: thanks for all the replies. I wrote this while pissed about the results, it was supposed to be rhetorical.
At this point, work on helping immigrant friends and neighbors however you can, whether by helping with immigration paperwork or "other"methodologies.
If you need a scapegoat, you pick one that can't defend itself as easy.
Sure, the unborn work for that too.
I just wonder what is so scary about immigrants to people?
Being different is scary enough for those that lack education (either willingly or due to circumstances out of their control)
This is America, and they aren't white. They don't speak white.

This was what the UK discovered after Brexit
Turns out, if you kick out all the polish nurses and restaurant workers, you suddenly don’t have enough staff in those places. Who would have thought.
Other than that, everything worked out perfectly. Oh, but then there’s also the Northern Ireland border. Well other than those two issues… actually, there are quite a few issues, but that’s besides the point. It’s been smooth sailing ever since, everyone is happy, it’s never been better.
The obsession is because that's the news friendly way of answering with "racism".

I think we have to accept that the American electorate actually wants fascism.

I love how Economy is a high priority, yet they voted for the asshole known being the genius behind several bankruptcies. "The economy isn't doing good, clearly we need someone who can fuck shit up to make it work!"
Unironically, I think that was the thought process.
Hard to vote for someone who is telling you all is well and the people that got the country here are competent and mean well, when the country is going through 5 different crises, all preventing you from living a decent life.

The American electorate:
Economy? Ah yes, let's elect the person that wants to put 100% sanctions on literally everything. Masterful gambit sirs. Ya'll can rot in hell!
Also side note, America's economy is held up by cheap immigrant labor, so way to double dunk.
The news says the Republicans are better at [the economy] because they are. How are they better. Because they are better for the economy. Who crashed the economy the last four times it's happened Republicans. They're so good at economy!

Also, I love how no one gives a shit about the ecological apocalypse. This is why I kept telling you guys: let the hurricanes destroy everything. No more FEMA. Americans clearly don’t care.
Economy
This is Trump's economy, you idiots. This is the fallout from his incompetence and malice. But heaven forbid voters understand basic principles which rule their lives.
i think you give too much credit to Trump. the economy has been rigged against the working class for a long time. it's just getting progressively more brutal which makes people feel increasingly insecure.
an insecure working class elects strongmen who promise simple solutions

Racism less important, immigration more important.. that's interesting..
Blame the news media. They sane washed Trump.
Another thing that's barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.
It just wasn't the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.
Remember that people who considered foreign policy (aka Gaza) to be the most important didn't vote. People who voted Harris did so because they either thought some other issue was more important or just didn't care. I think you'll get better insights from a "why didn't you vote" survey. That said it's definitely not the only reason Harris lost; it was her complete and utter failure at campaigning that allowed Trump to go around collecting swing states like they're fucking MTG cards.

Exactly. For all the talk of the Palestine/Israel genocide being a reason people didn't vote Harris, this poll certainly makes it seem like less of the issue. What the fuck happened? I'm genuinely ashamed to live in the States.
What the fuck happened?
Four years of a milquetoast, centrist Democrat telling the American people what they're living isn't the actual reality of the situation. Biden's admin kept rolling out the "soft landing, economy is doing great," schtick despite numerous news outlets reporting Americans don't feel like it's an economy working for them.
Then that Democrat finally stepping aside, too late for his constituents to have a say in who they want representing them. And then she ran on a centrist, return-to-the-status-quo platform that didn't inspire the majority of Americans, who are so apathetic based on decades of being ignored by politicians they just don't vote. Because what's the point?

It's simple, and history has borne this out many many times.
In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics if you're the candidate of change. There's a reason why Harris spent two months repeating memes instead of defending Biden's policies, because it's impossible to defend the fact that you had four years to rule and there are more people working 2-3 jobs just to survive.
They knew they needed to appeal to workers. Instead, they spent most of the campaign repeating this meaningless platitude about joy to people who are being worked to death.

Healthcare: 8%
That explains why americans in America are provided with less(no at all) healthcare than american tourisis in fucking Russia.
This is what happens if any foreigner for example breaks bone in Russia:
- Emergency, including emergency specialized, medical care is provided to foreign citizens in case of sickness, accident, trauma, poisining and other cases requireing emergency treatment. Such medical treatment provided by state and municipal healthcare organizations is free of charge.

You don't win an election just with vibes.
Kamala didn't bring as much substance as what the left electorate was expecting from her, and couldn't differentiate herself from Biden and the current term she is serving under. The whole democratic party went under because all they promise is vibes compared the current economical struggles people are facing.

Honestly, I hope Trump and his republican dumb fucks go through with their tariff plan to "save" the much improved economy. Americans deserve it.
Americans deserve everything that is about to happen.
Don't disagree and I honestly hope all of their promises come true this time, abortion restrictions at the federal level, the gutting of government, putting Herschel Walker as the head of the DoD, all of it.
Americans will never learn unless they suffer.
As an American, you're right. I guess Trump won't see consequences, but maybe the country will. And MAYBE voters / non voters will learn something.
I guess Trump won't see consequences,
Probably not given his age, diet, and general level of fitness.
And even if he does live that long, I doubt he will remember it given his clearly declining mental health.

Because too many people are selfish and think that things are bad so might as well make them worse.
