Oh, one last thing:
With regards to campaigning, Harris did everything right, and Trump did everything wrong. What this election shows is that we have to work twice as hard to keep up with Trump supporters and three times as hard to overcome them. His base is THAT solid.
English
@L3ftyOwl2 The “populist” rhetoric on immigration, transgender rights and Gaza is all about hating them
By “better,” you mean “worse for them”?
English
@joshsteich Look who just won. Trump's populism (however wrong it is) mobilized his voter base as well as disaffected centrists. If Kamala had similar rhetoric, i think she would have done better.

I think the rest of the world just has to realise the US we thought we all knew probably just doesn't exist and hasn't for a while. We need to shift our assumptions and look at the US in the same way we look at India.

@OnlyAWorldAway @GumballTj3 @DiRico_Rants We don’t have evidence the opposite fails—the current evidence supports Trump, which is the opposite of that
English
@DiRico_Rants I disagree. Harris could have done way better on immigration, trans rights and Gaza. If she had used the momentum from Biden's stepping down and used more populist rhetoric instead of going back to Bush era politics, she would have done way better

@pseudonimjz @whstancil People keep saying their personal situation is good but the economy is bad
English
@whstancil You should keep telling people who are struggling to afford groceries that they are just imagining things and that economy is best it's ever been, Will

Yes: economic dissatisfaction ultimately reflects the domination of the information environment by the right wing (and antisocial sentiment more generally), rather than real economic conditions, which are better than most voters have ever lived through.
Jeff Stein@jstein_star
Roughly *67%* of voters rated the economy as "not so good/poor," per Washington Post exit polls A shockingly poor number amid a hot labor market, booming stocks, much lower inflation, growing GDP But widespread voter dissatisfaction w/ the economy been clear for years

if you genuinely believe the American people voted for Trump because they think Kamala Harris is too right wing on foreign policy you have lost your goddam mind

once again, leftists like Liz and Dick Cheney have selfishly lost the election for the Democrats

@96fps @constans @Christo77309767 It was real, but it was global and not something related to much US policy
English
Even if Harris wins this is a message that even a blip of inflation is poison compared to simply doubling unemployment and throwing ga few unlucky people into long term joblessness
sp6r=underrated@sp6runderrated
Congratulations swing voters, you sent a clear message to every politician. Given the choice between a great recession or 1 year of 6% inflation you prefer a great recession. Enjoy 10% unemployment when the next economic crisis hits.
English
@96fps @constans @Christo77309767 It wasn’t that it wasn’t real, it was that it was largely tied to supply chain disruption and fuel costs
But facts can’t beat feelings I guess
English
@constans @Christo77309767 It would be helpful if democrat-aligned op-ed writers didn't pretend the inflation wasn't real and acknowledged that its impacts are cummulative.
Its less bad than an 08 style recession, but it bad and people are hurting because of it.

Over the next 48 hours, some of you will treat predictors who said 52/48 like gods and predictors who said 48/52 like morons, and I want to say in advance how deeply I hate you.

Every time s*** like this happens, we should send another hundred Bradleys and a hundred thousand 155mm to Ukraine.

BREAKING: According to state Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, bomb threats at two polling locations in Georgia originated from Russia.

@constans Counterpoint: My mom is retiring now after ~20 years of being a "lecturer" (what her U calls adjuncts, basically) & has a decent pension & healthcare bc they were unionized & willing to strike
Even if she never got the respect & position she deserved, it wasn't a bad career
English
I’m an adjunct. I have a full time job and I adjunct because I’m good at teaching and I like making extra money. If you’re adjuncting because you think it will lead to a full time faculty position, you are wrong and need to quit now & get a full time job.
caesararum, BS, DOGS@caesararum
a major gripe i have with US higher ed is probably one you haven't thought of so, adjuncts adjunct professors used to be roles open for e.g. people who were career professionals who wanted to give back by teaching a class or two in their spare time
