No Stupid Questions

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.

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!"

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Immigration is such a horseshit issue. Why are people dumb enough to fall for this shit?

Immigration will be "solved" come January, but not because Trump will actually do anything about it, but he'll just say the problem is solved and then stop talking about it.
