Why the Democrats lost in 2024

Interesting demographics . Does not have any speculation or analysis of why the democrats lost support but just the numbers. Interesting that the two groups that leaned MORE in favor of the Dems were white women and older women.
A Final, Comprehensive Look at How Trump Won in 2024
And how Democrats lost core parts of their coalition.

The rightward shift nationally was propelled almost entirely by non-white voters.

Voted for and will continue to vote for the maga Pubs forever. They want to inflict pain on these folks too:

Using an average of all three datasets, we get our clearest picture yet of how the electorate shifted from 2020 to 2024. Trump earned a second term primarily due to gains with groups that have been drifting away from Democrats for several years, most of whom have historically supported the party: young people, racial minorities (especially blacks and Hispanics), men, and lower-income voters.

92% of Black Women voted for Harris - regardless of the 9% Shift.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/voting-patterns-in-the-2024-election/
59% and 51% of White Men/Women voted for Trump.

What do we do about this problem other than talking about genocide? Because that doesn't move them. These people think its funny that little kids are getting killed in Gaza. Won't work on them.

Pictures of him going to Dearborn and telling them he will stop the war and save Gaza. The influencers. The tech titans that control Facebook and twitter , how about the news media. The democrats did not understand how pervasive the propaganda was. Joe Biden did everything he could to fix what trump had broken and the majority of Americans asked for a second helping of the chaos.
There is no easy fix to allowing billionaires to own our country , media, our representatives mainly republicans and our commerce looking at Bezos. Stop looking to blame democrats and let’s figure a way to counter the propaganda wall.

everything was. At first it was just about that without much comment on politics. But as we got closer to the election they started saying things like how things were better under Trump.

Things are still expensive but we no longer have those videos.

I remember they were even posted on here at times and if anyone posted something positive that Biden did the response was that there were still people hurting and it was insensitive.

I also heard Kamala didn’t have plan, she wasn’t black and trump was a business man. They wanted to vote for him and made up reasons or had their marching orders.
