Asking as someone from the other side of the planet.

From the things I saw about the US election, the Dems were the side with plans for the economy - minimum wage adjustments, unions, taxing the rich, etc. The Republicans didn’t seem to have any concrete plans. At least, this is what I saw.

I don’t doubt Bernie Sanders though - he seems like a straight truth teller. But what am I missing?

    Building a broad coalition without policy concessions was a waste of time? You’re going to have a tough time convincing me of that point.

      Look at the numbers please:
      In 2020 Biden had 81,284,666 votes.
      In 2024 Kamala had 69,218,912 votes.

      That is a difference of around 12 Million votes or nearly 15%. Trump at the same time gained only like 750k votes. I mean yes, he somehow GAINED votes, but still…

      What is your supposed reason for those numbers?
