> The Democrats loss fair and square.

Yes, because of how ignorant much of the population is, correlating lower grocery prices with whoever was in office at the time.

> They gave people no reason to support them.

Given how bad the alternative was they were the only rational choice.

So that was there whole platform - “we aren’t Trump”?

Do you think the population got more ignorant in 4 years? This is all on the DNC and Biden. Biden should have either voluntarily not run or stronger Democrats should have had a primary and crucified him.

The DNC lied to the American public for years. They knew that Biden wasn’t all there. They basically tried to do a “Weekend with Bernie” on them.

Not to mention that strategically for the first time in modern history they had the new industry titans in their back pocket - BigTech - and threw them under the bus.

The American population doesn’t care about going after BigTech like HN does.

No, but frankly if it was that should have been enough.

> Do you think the population got more ignorant in 4 years?

Yes, obviously. Or at least more ignorant people decided to vote this time.

Get off your high horse. If you lose the election, you are the ignorant. The democrats lost because they over-estimated their hand and under-estimated the intelligence of the general populace.

The democrats were in a position of power. The only thing you need to do is to not screw up.

They lost because 49.9% of voters believed inflation would be decreased by tariffs and all the money FEMA spent on North Carolina was a lie. Among other things, this was very much a “we have a different truth to offer” election.
