Summary
Donald Trump has won the 2024 U.S. presidential election, marking a historic comeback as the first convicted criminal and the oldest person elected to the office.
His victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, who aimed to make history as the first female Black and South Asian American president, shocked observers and demonstrated enduring support for his populist, nativist platform.
Despite criminal convictions and ongoing controversies, Trump’s base remained loyal, propelling him past 270 electoral votes with a decisive win in Wisconsin.
His win raises concerns about future U.S. domestic and foreign policies, as he promises sweeping immigration crackdowns, “retribution” against political enemies, and domestic military deployments.
Voters wanted a candidate on the left, as usual. They weren’t given an option, so they didn’t vote. Same thing happens with Clinton. It isn’t rocket science.
Fucking stupid disinformation posts like this one across all platforms. When people don’t vote, their voices aren’t heard and this is what you get. If the Democrats had actually won across the board, it would have been the perfect time to force a shift left from within the party.
Fucking morons in this country.
If the left want someone to represent them they need to actually show up and vote. Politicians keep tacking right because those are the people who vote and may switch sides.
