Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    laugh i never thought biden (or the dnc) was anyone but who he was. I was entirely unsurprised by his administration and this election cycle.

    I dont particularly care if they move further right. Thats their decision. Just means they’re even less likely to get votes from people like myself. Its not really a threat. (Though thats unlikely in my state, nationally shrug)

    I suspect by 2028 my state will be close or have rcv and third party work can begin. Shrug
