Never forget that the largest share of the 2024 US voting-eligible population went to "did not vote".
Harris received 97% of Trump's vote count.
There is not that strong a popular mandate for Trump, which shows in his approval ratings.
They made their choice. It's damning for the Democrats that they couldn't engage more of them.
The US must end the bipartisan model before the bipartisan model ends the US.
There, I said it.
You could start with none of them voting for their presidential candidate to be nominated.
The Democratic Party is at odds with Democrats, in my opinion. They just don't want to let anyone but the party itself pick the candidate, then are surprised when their own voters don't feel the candidate is theirs.
Obama was nominated in spite of the party, and people showed up for him.
Trump is awful, but losing to him twice is unfathomably stupid.
Multiple polls have found that Trump would have won by an even larger margin if those people had voted.

And yet, they did not vote. People often say things in polls that don't align to their actions.
Sure. But polling has consistently underestimated Trump voters, including in this most recent election.

Well, then I'd first have to ask how you define "communist" or "quasi-communist" to understand what you mean. The term "communist" means different things depending on the context of the person who uses that term.
