Republican ads told voters that Joe Biden was a radical leftist and his progressive policies were responsible for inflation. That’s what the voters believed. Imagine what voters would think of Bernie

And the republicans that “unconditionally support genocide” won.

Or you can just make stuff up based on nothing like saying democrats weren’t far enough left.

Voters chose the right most option. Was lemmy.ml saying we needed to go further right?

lol wut

Lemmy.ml is the bubble. lol @ your attempt at race bait

almost always

So you acknowledge that they aren’t alway multiple choice but in the same comment you pretend that I have no business citing polls that aren’t multiple choice because it makes you wrong. Got it.

I haven’t met anyone with that sentiment irl. Everyone I know either wanted Kamala to win or felt Biden and Kamala was radical left extremist and his progressive policies were the cause of inflation.

The polls reflect that.

This narrative that democrats didn’t go far enough left is something I’ve only seen on lemmy.

Who said there was multiple choice questions? Read between the lines? What are you rambling about?

Polls made it clear voters were motivated by inflation and immigration. Everyone I know voted. No one I know irl felt democrats didn’t go far enough left.

That is a talking point being repeated a lot on lemmy.ml though. Which is telling considering its reputation.

That’s the latest talking point fresh from lemmy.ml

Tell that to OP for their comment:

DNC Leadership would rather lose with a neoliberal candidate than win with a progressive one.

Republicans won. But now I know the lemmy.ml talking point

The same progressives that didn’t show up to vote?

Meanwhile the billionaires convinced the voters that democrats were responsible for inflation and spun “tax increases for billionaires” into “tax increases for everyone”.

And polls show that voters were most motivated by inflation.

Voter turnout was a record high never before seen in 2020 because of the pandemic.

Less people voted overall in 2024 because no pandemic.

Not rocket science.

All anyone has regarding that is annecdotal. But in my experience many friends, family, coworkers who voted democrat in 2020 were convinced by republican ads that democrats were to blame for the inflation caused by Covid and price gouging.

According to the numbers: independents who voted democrat in 2020 voted for Trump this time. A major reason for this was who they felt was responsible for inflation.

Many who voted democrat in 2020 voted republican in 2024 because the billionaire class convinced them democrats caused inflation when democrats said they would tax billionaires.

Imagine what they would do to Bernie.

She laid out a plan to handle price gouging and tax billionaires. She didnt seem left or right of Biden.
