    No the demographics of voters are very real and the Kamala campaign spent virtually no time convincing cis white males that their lives would be better under Kamala.

    Virtually everyone votes out of self interest. Trying to convince people to vote out of altruism while they perceive they will be losing out isn’t going to work.

      If someone “perceives they are losing out” because of doing something positive for women or minorities then that says a lot about their worldview, they are the ones responsible for polarisation there.

      Agreed on the campaign though, it was the dems’ to lose and they royally fucked it up.

        They perceive they are losing out because of the economy. Look at the places that vote red; they have all lost manufacturing and gone backwards in standard of living.

      There’s already an article stating Trump did better than expected with almost every demographic. It’s not just white men
