A final thought: The role of Women Voters seems likely to decide the Presidential Election of 2024.
There are more women voters than male voters, and a major gender gap has opened, according to numerous surveys.
Even in Iowa, considered a “red” state, the Des Moines Register poll surprises everyone, showing that Kamala Harris has a three point lead, primarily based on Independent Women and Women over the age of 65.
If this poll, which has been very accurate over many years, proves to be accurate, and Iowa, with its 6 electoral votes goes to Kamala Harris, it would insure a Democratic victory, as it would be sign that nearby states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, would likely have similar results!
Happy Defeat Trump Day everyone!
There have been bomb threats to polling locations across several states. The FBI is investigating and they appear to have originated from Russian email domains. The FBI noted none have been determined to be credible threats.
Election results are not sounding very good so far.
Kornacki is mentioning that Trump has gained ground with Latinos. WTF ia wrong with them?!
Darn it! Stupid in this country chose Trump! Republicans also won the Senate and are leading in the House.
Oops. The word peo6 should be after stupid.
Oops. The word people should be after the word stupid.
Vox explains why she lost. She inherited a tough situation from Joe Biden — and ultimately could not overcome it.

According to Washington Monthly, Harris did not match Biden’s 2020 performance with white, non-college-educated women, Black men, and especially among Latinos.

In my first post, after WTF, it should be is instead of ia.
What makes it worse is that, unlike his first Electoral College win in 2016, Trump is on track to win the popular vote this year.
The number one issue for voters was the economy.

As of right now, control of the House is still in question. I’m praying that maybe we will at least succeed in winning that.
The US is about to become a very different country.
In hindsight, Biden should have stepped aside after the midterms and let the Democratic Party process play out in a primary campaign.
She’s making her concession speech at 4. 🙁
Today, Trump won, Musk won, Putin won—populism and hate won. Democracy and decency lost. We’re accepting our loss. But we know that if Harris had won, Trump’s supporters wouldn’t have accepted defeat. The United States is no longer one united nation; it’s two nations, yet living in the same land.

I wonder if should have stayed in the race.

I wonder if Biden should have stayed in the race.
Nicole and her panel are talking about Harris’s concession speech. Joy Reid said that Generation X, which is the generation of me and Southern Liberal, is the generation that tends to be Trump’s supporters.
Some Latino guy was just talking with Nicole’s panel. He has a radio show and mentioned that some Latino men calling in to his show weren’t interested in voting for Harris because she’s a woman.
Sadly, our country still has too much misogyny. If our candidate had been a man, we would be having a different conversation right now.
