Holybullshit said: There isn't much to study, they simply overestimated the electorate and failed to grasp just how detached from reality voters in this country had become.
Nominating Hillary was a stupid move, she was too polarizing a figure with too much baggage to use against her. Whether that baggage was legitimate or not is pretty much irrelevant. But no halfway intelligent, reasonably well adjusted person could even imagine someone like Trump building up a cult of personality around them as Trump did.
She wasn't polarizing. No one likes her. She is completely non-polar in how she comes off. The only people who voted for her did so for 2 reasons: she was a woman and they didn't want Trump in office (and to be honest a large portion of people who voted for Trump did so cause they hate Hilary. Same with Kamala). But they decided to overtly fuck over Bernie Sanders, the person everyone actually wanted to win, and not even try to hide it until after the election. Also, it was blatantly obvious after the first GOP debate Trump was gonna win the GOP nomination at the very least, and then after the "you'd be in jail" comment it was obvious he was gonna win the presidency. It wasn't as obvious he was going to have the cult of personality that he developed, at first, but it was after a certain amount of time. It wasn't obvious to the Democrats cause the Democrats don't look at vast tracts of the US voting population as actual people. They view them as less than halfway intelligent and unreasonable, and therefor below them.
But your comment is why it needs to be studied. You're still in a state of denial and delusion and honestly, its worrying, because a large tract of Democratic voters still haven't learned their lesson. They think cause they have better morals and intentions they can act however they want and its obvious that you should only vote for Democratic candidates cause GOP candidates are evil. To a large portion of voters, both Democratic and GOP, how the Democratic party has acted since 2015 is completely indefensible and without even an apology there is no certainty the Democrats won't keep acting completely insane. So they'll either not vote, or vote GOP cause it's the lesser of two evils. AOC understands this, which is why you saw her coming out with her "Woke 1.0 went too far" in a half assed attempt at apologizing to voters. But it's telling not a single other Democratic politician echoed her sentiment. She is the only one smart enough on the left to understand the average American. And she seems kind of retarded.
That is why this needs to be studied. How can for an entire decade the answer to why the Democratic party is losing constantly to a massive orange buffoon who is a literally a fucking moron and Isreal first politician stares at you in the face and you still can't figure it out. About once a week the Democrats have an opportunity to regain political ground and they basically just dig themselves deeper into a hole where idk, it might be too late. But they STILL think they have a chance and don't change how they approach anything, as if people have just forgotten how they've acted for 10 years. It's funny, the Democrats act as if they're the more intelligent, educated, and wise bloc but they are literally doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. They may be right, they may be on the moral high ground, but none of that matters when the GOAL is to run a government. And the more the democrats don't change and just double down on trying to do things that seem subversive, the less chance they'll be able to gain control of the government through legal means.
Maybe try acting like a man who didn't invade Poland, didn't set up concentration and death camps for undesirables in society, didn't bomb London, didn't annex France, didn't invade Russia is Hitler. I'm not saying Trump is a good president, but it takes a cursory understanding of US history to realize that you can't call him the worst president in history starting on January 21st 2016. Or even today. He's not even the most corrupt president in US history by the numbers, even with the egregious crypto scam. Like just live in the real world and all the non-MAGA GOP voters will flock to the Democratic party. Or they would have. It may be too late. I'm afraid that the Democratic party has cemented the GOP power bloc for another like 4 voting cycles. Literally the only thing the Dems have going for them is they condemn Israel on the whole Gaza thing. But they literally do it in the only way possible that make them seem dumb as fuck. On one hand they'll speak out against Israel actions in Gaza and at the same time cater to AIPAC and the ADL and enable laws that make their criticisms illegal (not to mention acting like promoting Islam is compatible with being pro LGBTQ). The only meaningful push back against AIPAC and friends is coming from the GOP.
