cute post, but get off twitter and talk to a real human being and most folk did not and do not really care about "woke" ism as you imply. its simply not really an issue as much as rightwing media blows it up to be.

people are still feeling the residual effects of the economy. they felt that and decided they wanted change. not to mention Harris had a 3 month ramp up, and people didn't know her.

twitter was filled with "woke" around 2016 and 2020 by the way; Americans still gave the Democrats the popular vote.




i think you are replying to the wrong comment? i didn't mention "woke". i don't go near twitter; impossible to read. the point i was making is that demonizing the centrists who hadn't already made up their mind, was batshit stupid. yeah, we got to know kamala pretty well - peace, love, hatred, rage, change, no-change - a politician.

> people are still feeling the ... effects of the economy > they felt that and decided they wanted change.

this i agree with, except that effects are "residual". it's not improving for most people on the bottom 1/2. it's brutal out here.

> Americans still gave the Democrats the popular vote

now this is widely reported that as not true [1], CNN showing ~51.2%, which would be the best in 20 years [2].

that was a mistype. I meant to say the residual effects of COVID on the economy.

I think you misunderstood; I meant that the Democrats won the popular vote in 2020 and 2016.
