Hasan Piker's autopsy of the 2024 US Presidential election

I can't believe the bullshit with the Cheneys. When a war criminal like Dick Cheney endorses you, you disavow them.

Harris even got endorsed by Richard Spencer, who's a white nationalist, and she didn't say shit! What was she thinking? "I've got the neocon vote, now maybe I'll get the Nazi vote"?

I switched my registration party from Democrat to Independent today. Tired of this shit. Enough is enough I'm voting my values from now on.

Til a few hundred words by rando dude I've never heard of is an "autopsy".

oh good, it's hasan, my favorite (not terroristic propaganda spreading) "political" commentator

Isn't it amazing that both the female democratic candidates for president in our history have campaigned with war criminals and then lost. I wonder if there's a lesson there?

So he's saying his fake progressive base stayed home? How is that different to every other election? Appealing to moderates is going to swing the vote more than any attempt to appeal to his psychotic fans who don't even vote in the first place.

All these "this was important to me so it's the reason we lost" takes should be ignored. Especially from a moron like Hasan. The guy was saying it's possible he'll get deported because Trump won.

Democrats were too busy making sure progressive candidates were banned from participating in democracy.

Democrats are completely out of touch. them expecting voters putting other issues on top of them making ends meets and food on the table (like mocking Vance's egg prices ), all the while most polls showing the economy is the biggest concern with 38 % of all voters, is just simply delusional

And they have lost both the popular and electoral college vote. meaning the real problem here is them.

And don't get me started on the propaganda of Iowa's early voters polls showing a Kamala landslide just 2 days before election day. If you live in a left wing bubble and believe this shit, than this should be a hard smack back into reality.

So this proves we need to rebuild or create a true opposition party. Running as a moderate party just continously pushes America politics right. Those that wanted a fully different option just stay home on election day. This isn't a both sides argument, just facts. We can't keep failing in this way when the writing is on the wall. We need to change the leadership in the dems. They all need to go! Yes race and gender played a role but Trump is projected to get 6 million less votes this time around than last time. So that means the base for dems just didn't vote. Yes that's upsetting but trying to shame and meme them into voting will never work. Give people something to vote for, not just against. Republicans get it but using fear and promising a better life for their base. (even at the expense of others they at least give that to their base.)such a sad day in America and the only thing that'll save us is to come together as a community and create a party that represents that community.

Swinging left wouldn't have worked either.

There is no high horse. There is no right path. Us Americans have the critical thinking skill of an ant. The left should have fought dirty with a full blown propaganda machine, populist lies, and blatant collusion if they wanted to win, simple as that.

It needs a leftist Trump.

What are Republican's gonna do... demonize democrats even more?

Normalizing republican extremism is about the only thing modern neoliberalism has accomplished, and likely why the same billionaires donate to both.

They want the return of feudual society, they just know the only way they get it is if the only other option is a shit sandwich.

I don't even care whether your attitude is, "Oh no, we fucked up," or you go with option B which is what you're saying. If you have to wonder whether you're gloating or not, then fuck you.

Everyone from Sanders to Dick fucking Cheney endorsed Harris. Anyone who was paying any attention and wasn't a literal fascist voted for her. The direction of the swing seems irrelevant.

The swing fell short because it's not so much about direction than strength. Macron in 2017 ran the most "hard center" presidential campaign imaginable. Difference is it worked, not because his centrist program was particularly novel but in large part because he is a very charismatic figure and managed to create a voting base of hopefuls for himself. The same can broadly be argued about Obama (whose first act as president was to essentially absolve the previous administration and Wall St of their many sins in case anyone forgot how moderate he was).

Harris ran on a platform of... "I'm not him". Which to any reasonable person is an obvious "yeah OK", but unfortunately most Americans are apathetic cretins who will refuse to move their asses to a polling station if the guy on the telly doesn't promise them a blowie at the voting booth. And the Democrat establishment is simultaneously too big to fail and incapable of producing an actually charismatic leader.

Well, all that and the obvious election interference from Musk, Putin, and the ontological inability of traditional media not to platform literal fascists.

Arrrg paywalls.. at least post the full article in the comments!

ah yes, houthi loving, anti-american, antisemitic hasan who wants to flee to japan now. fuck him for brainwashing his audience into not voting. gotta wonder if he's been cashing russian checks too. unamerican traitor and useful idiot for the MAGA cult.

I don't think that you can lay this disaster at the feet of Liz Cheney and a few other star Republicans. That is pretty lazy thinking, and suits a particular progressive viewpoint. This election is going to take years to figure out.

Cue the instant hot takes as to how the orange man climbed the hill he was already sitting on.

Meanwhile the far left was cutting their own throats by handing the election to the fascists, thanks a lot.

is this the random andy streamer guy ? why should I give a shit about what he thinks

Who's that and why should I care what he has to say about anything.

why can't people see that we will never go left till we go far enough right.
