The problem isn’t that cities like Reading are now Trump strongholds, but that Harris’s campaign gave few reasons for enthusiasm.

    If that was the standard Kamala would’ve won

      Well it turns out that isn’t a good enough standard to get enough people up to vote, but I did hear it a lot from a lot of active posters online.

        Anyone who didn’t vote for her doesn’t want a functional adult in office… So they got what they wanted I guess. I 100% blame those voters

          Good luck with that. The election was hers to lose and she lost it.

          A racist wine Karen that has personally, purposefully, ruined thousands of innocent lives isn’t really a functional adult, it’s a functional alcoholic.

      I’m not convinced Kamala is a “functional adult” she never won a primary. -In fact she got less than 1% of votes in the two primaries (AK, and NH) she did run in respectively, in 2020..

          Get ahold of yourself. The people who “allowed” Trump to win were the DNC in general and Biden & Harris in particular. It was their campaign to lose, and they lost to a complete clown. Stop blaming anyone & everyone but the Democratic party itself.

            Voters do the voting

              this u: “You let Trump win?” So which is it, did “we” “let” Trump win, or did the voters do the voting?

              If we let him win, then who is the “we,“ and how did we “let” him?

              If the “voters do the voting,” then I don’t think you appreciate that,

              1. The voters had no say in the Democratic primary.
              2. The US has never been and will never be a democracy, because it was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.
