Democrats suffered a 10 point drop among Latino women, while failing to move the needle among non-college educated women at all, who again went for Trump 63-35, preliminary data suggests.
Democrats bet on women showing up in force. They didn’t.

I’m pretty sure this is because people pay more attention to Facebook and TikTok than actual fact checked sources. It’s the secret sauce of Republicans.

It’s more the case that the Democrats ran a right wing campaign and didn’t convince or inspire thier own supporters to vote for them. Kinda important when voting is voluntary.

I think if that was the case, people would have showed up to vote for ranked choice voting which was on a ton of state ballots this year.
Oddly, they all failed since people didn’t bother to vote for those either. Not voting for the thing that will change the system that put these voters in this situation in the first place…
Suffice to say, it’s a lot more than just one reason.

I was just listening to Pivot yesterday, they were saying of the top 10 news reaction podcasts in the US, 8 of them were republican aligned. Only 2 were blue leaning, and they were like position 6 and 10 and hosted by the same host! Dems have relied on traditional media, and it aint workin.
