Here one more day to offer a foul here. Mexico ran a Bernie style incumbent and was broadly reelected and it’s the 9th largest country in the world - Dawson Nov 7, 07:42 6
- Every trend has outliers that don't follow the trend. BUT it's a very fair point! -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:43 5
  - And to the extent the articles point is people are fed up- I mean I strongly agree ! -- nm - Dawson Nov 7, 07:44 4
    - To the extent that you mentioned that "every group can be racist" which is certainly true - -- (edited) - Reagen Nov 7, 07:51 3
      - Not Latino or American but some examples: - Roger More Nov 7, 08:38
      - I don’t know the get taken for granted take (no opinion in either direction). But Latinos here legally care more about their pocketbooks than some unk - Dawson Nov 7, 08:04
      - Yes you read me correctly not saying become racist or abandon principles - only that since that principle doesn’t resonate to all it’s not a good winn - Dawson Nov 7, 07:54
Trudeau gonna make it 11 when ours comes up (or maybe the first one in 2025) -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 07:33
I think it's social media. It's easier to convince people things are bad than good and now there are more avenues to do so. -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 07:15 6
- You don't need social media to know your household costs are rising and living paycheque to paycheque. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 7, 09:24
- I think this but also like the "let me show you only what you want to see" algos on SM create an echo chamber that reality can't compete with. - amandachem Nov 7, 07:47 1
  - and as more people abandon cable, there are fewer places for people to get information, which makes the echo chamber of social media even louder. -- nm - amandachem Nov 7, 07:49
- Fox News and the US far right media did a stellar job lyingn about the state of the country. - loosilu Nov 7, 07:17 1
  - On the economic angle though, perhaps voters feel some actual truth to it. 'The economy' is strong, true. But who is it strong for? -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 7, 07:46
- I think the social media and silos is part of it, yes. I don't think it's any one thing though -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:16
Yeah, this was one of the things that was stacked against a Biden or Harris win. -- nm - Inigo Nov 7, 07:10 1
- Agreed. Not using this as an excuse or cope in any way, just one more piece of the puzzle. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 07:11
