With the GOP soon to take over the Whitehouse and quite possibly all of Congress, the Democratic blame game will soon begin, so let me volunteer some thoughts for my fellow Democrats:
* Do Not blame Republicans for this. This election (like the one in 2020) was free and fair. Don't put yourself on Trump's level and start sniveling about stolen elections, because it just wasn't so.
* With Trump's popular vote total a scant 7 million over Harris, you can blame the Harris campaign's inability to tap into those 20+ million registered voters who never bothered to cast a ballot.
Those are 2 bitter pills to swallow, but there is a silver lining: Trump's policies are rub a lot of his own voters the wrong way, and his honeymoon period will fade pretty fast. One lost election is not the end of all. You'll have your day again. In the meantime, hunker down and weather it. As CCR once said:
"I see a bad moon risin"
"I see trouble on the way"

@mchill said2020 either motivated people to come out and vote, or made it easier for people to vote, or both.

In 2024, much of that "improved" turnout returned for the Republicans, but not for the Dems.
So did Republican legislatures literally make it harder for Dems to vote? I don't think so. Here in NC, we have an irritatingly conservative state congress, but I was able to vote early with ease; and then on election day, the polls were empty - no waiting.
Dems just didn't want it bad enough. Which is a typical phenomenon - if "your guy" is out then you are more desperate to "get back in."

@mchill saidDemocrat voters are to blame. If liberals didn’t swallow all the BS coming out of the media and the woke societal elites then the party wouldn’t lend itself to pander to the narrative. It’s like one big incoherent circle jerk of victimhood the western world over.

It’s always someone else’s fault with you lot isn’t.
@mchill saidWho is to blame for the failure of dozens of people here on these RHP Forums for not predicting correctly? Many here were certain of a victory for Kamala Harris. If you can figure that out you will understand who is to blame.

Here is the answer - Failure to understand human nature.
People are wary of voting into the highest position in a superpower country, a woman, a half-breed [no part of her is white], with no track record of successes, who was a failure a speaking clearly her policies which will improve the country, who just rode in the apparent failure of Joe Biden as a president.
The woman just was not president material. People were saying that all along. Plus liberals come off as being sexual perverts.

@mchill saidLast time Dems like No1 Marauder said a 7 million difference was a "repudiation" of Trump. I guess Harris was "repudiated" then?
Trump's popular vote total a scant 7 million over Harris,
You said don't blame Republicans. I don't think anyone is. No one on this forum or in the news is alleging voter fraud, Harris conceded and even called Trump on the phone.
@vivify saidIt will wind up around 3 million, not 7 million.

Candidates like Sherrod Brown, John Tester and maybe Casey in PA losing as well as the Republicans likely holding the House make this something besides a personal repudiation of Harris though something less than Earl's imagined "red wave".

@A-Unique-Nickname saidPrimarily I’d put the initial blame at John Major’s feet and then Tony Blair who compounded the issue.

Instead of viewing it as a wakeup call and admitting that Americans aren't buying into their narrative, they are doubling down on stupid and crying about how racist and misogynistic the country is.
Fact is we are all sick of the Democrats and the left-controlled media lies that have propped them up.

@vivify saidDems are to blame, for sure.

The Democratic Party has become the party of mature, sophisticated, wine-drinking college-educated people, pushy minorities, and independent women.
The Republican Party has become the party of immature, beer-swilling workers, fearful whites, dependent women AND (oddly) billionaires.
There are slightly more people in the second group.
Here is the message I am hearing: "Dems need to get off their high horse. They need to start praising straight white maleness. Like it or not, straight white men are a BIG group. And they determine the outcome of elections. Straight white men are secretly fearful in a lot of ways, and they have gotten awfully tired of not being seen. For years, they have been passed over in the name of women's rights and black rights and gay rights and snail darter 'rights'; called 'toxic' for their masculinity; had things like Boy Scouts stripped away from them, etc. etc. etc. They don't like to talk about it - but they are quite frankly fed up."

@mchill saidthere are 18 million votes missing from the 2020 election…kumala didnt under perform biden, she just didnt get the pandemic votes biden did.

who to blame?
barrack husein obama, aka barry sorento
biden was just a stand in, a face, obama was still in control.
this election obama had to have another stooge to stand in while he ran things. That is why there was no primary and kumala was installed.
if shipiro had been the candidate dems would have probably won.
deceit always loses in the end.
