    Nah, the reason trump got elected is multi- faceted, but Americans wanted him over a woman.

    trump was elected because people who would vote for an opposition party didn’t see one and stayed home.

      And were content with the possibility of trump being elected, yes. The effectively two party system in the us meant it was with kamala or trump.

        Yes, that’s the reason I voted for harris. The party seriously overestimated how many people would do likewise. Or the party preferred trump to mounting an actual opposition.

            Yes, he represented hateful people. harris needed to appeal to people who might have voted for her. Instead, she tried and predictably failed to appeal to nonexistent moderate republicans who would never vote for her.

            When centrists pander to republicans, republicans don’t buy it. But the left correctly sees it as a betrayal.
