The irony here is that Trump's coalition was so broad because these minority groups felt abandoned when Biden didn't fulfill his promises, but everyone here is kind of just pretending Harris would have actually done something for them. Whether it was inflation, cop cities, endless war, abortion repeal, or assisting in the perpetration of child genocide, Dems did a really shitty job.

And for those of you about to whine about 'both sides-ism', yes, both of you do lie and make extravagant promises during campaign time, and then always fail to deliver.

But you still vote Democrat and Republican anyway.

Yeah and I guess you vote third party or not at all which also is a vote for trump. Or maybe you're not even in the US. Pie in the sky idealism is great but unless you're organizing and changing the system BEFORE a generationally crucial election, and you voted third party (aka for trump) then you are just as naive and you'll suffer along with everyone else for your ridiculous unrealistic ideals.

Harris would not have doomed us all to climate change or borked the whole fed government (the consequences of which we're already seeing and will only get much worse in the coming months) and definitely wouldn't have blamed a plane crash on all non-white people with straight up Jim Crow era messaging. Your comment is disingenuous or severely misinformed.
