Trump’s vote total was about the same as his .total vote count in 2020. Kamala’s vote count was millions less than Biden’s total vote count . Dems stayed home!!!

And one of the reasons can be found in Di-Ag.org. Many lifelong Dems were feeling politically homeless. Including me-but I voted for Democracy, not autocracy. We have a LOT of work to do.
That absolutely had a LOT to do with those 11 million missing Dem & Indie voters. I’m an old white woman in the SW, a progressive or liberal Democrat. I have zero connection to anyone of the Muslim faith, nor of Arab or Palestinian identity, but I am sickened & angry that my govt refuses to enforce our laws about weapon usage, & using starvation as a weapon when it comes to Israel. We denounce those war crimes if any other country in the world does them, but not Israel?? wth?
I was excited & supportive of Harris, & I donated, wrote postcards, & voted for her; but I just cringed every time she again & again pledged unequivocal support for Israel no matter what new atrocity would come to light.
I can’t imagine the hate I would feel if it was my family who were on the receiving end of those atrocities.
The Arab American, Palestinian, Muslim community represents 100s of thousands of votes in the states we needed to win. Harris wouldn’t have had to do much to give them the hope that she would take a different stance than Biden.
Then there was her letting her wealthy finance involved BIL convince her to soften her verbiage about increasing the tax rates on the wealthy. People noticed.
The Democratic Party had better get their act together & fast & go back to being the champion of the WORKING POOR & lower end of the middle class or we may not win a general election in a long, long time.
They must stop being in denial about the fact that the U.S. is not growing economically, it is not the major economic power it once was; the BRICS alliance is the emerging economic power. We must recognize that fact & make plans as to what we’re going to do about that.
Go listen to the presentation on YT by Richard Wolff economics professor regarding the decline of the US empire. The stagnation of real wages for the past 30 yrs, the enormous widening of the wealth gap. If Democrats refuse to do something about those things, they are just pushing us closer & closer to greater civil unrest & more violence than we’ve seen in our lifetimes.

Do not know if in my long lifetime the Dems ever had their act to together. I would not measure ‘act together’ by winning an election or finally getting through one or more legislative bills only to have them sabotaged by Repugnants later on as the Dems dropped the ball going around patting themselves on the back while the repugnant rats were growing in the sewers of the minds of the electorate, spreading disease and death.
Now it seems the rats are in full control. We do not have enough cats—read cat ladies—to stem this infestation.

We cannot dismiss the role that Russia has been playing in voter suppression.
And Leon.
No Dems never stayed home…..

Or they did vote but their ballots for Kamala were automatically discarded by some algorithm placed in the voting tabulation system
This seems to have credence. We need our leadership to not hand over the keys until fully investigated.
They won’t, they couldn’t even investigate an insurrection & stealing of national secrets, treason. The Democratic Party has no guts
P. J., you will get no argument from me on that opinion
No Russia and Leon are involved. .
