I agree with all of this. I also believe an added factor to why rapist Orange Blob is worshipped by millions and won the election: many men, some openly, others secretly, want to rape women and kids and get away with it like Trump and others in his Nazi regime do.
Why She Lost, Occam’s Razor tells the tale by James Fell, May 25, 2025, Sweary History with James Fell
Why bring this up now? Because data firm Catalist recently released an analysis of voting patterns of the 2024 U.S. election, revealing that 30 million people who voted in 2020 failed to show up and vote in 2024. Such drop offs are common, with them always being more than replaced by new voters, but this drop off was the largest in U.S. history, and this time they were not all replaced. Compared with the 2020 election, 3.2 million fewer people voted in 2024. Also compare this to how 27 million more people voted in 2020 than in 2016. It was the first time there were fewer new voters than drop off voters.
The year 2020 was a fucktacular shitnado of ass. As far as his first term goes, Trump was at his worst in his final year, and he utterly botched the Covid response. Covid was the reason Trump lost in 2020, but also because the Democrats ran a white guy. Trump grew his number of voters considerably over 2016, but Biden grew over Clinton significantly more. Trump increased his number of votes by another 3 million again in 2024, but Harris got 6.2 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020.
Harris lost support across the board. Regardless of age, race, or gender, Harris got fewer votes compared to Biden 2020. The one group she didn’t lose support among were “super voters,” the most engaged people who always vote. In other words, people who pay some fucking attention to politics and knew what goddamn nightmare Trump 2024 would be made sure to vote for Harris.
Why did so many more drop off, and so few new replace them for 2024? There is no single answer that explains the entirety of the reason, but there is one piece of information that explains most of it.
Before we get to that, the idea that the 2024 election was stolen has little merit. Moving forward, I expect American elections are at a high risk of being neither free nor fair, but cheating doesn’t explain Harris’s 2024 loss.
Part of the reason is that a lot of people were motivated to get out and vote for Biden in 2020 because of the shitshow they were experiencing under Trump. They wanted Tangerine Palpatine out, and got the job done. Alas, people have short memories, and the steady and stable Democratic leadership of the next four years made people complacent about how shitty things could be if Trump was allowed to return to power. The situation in Gaza and the leftwing smear campaign against Harris didn’t help either, but these things only account for a small part of the loss of support.
Did the Democratic Party make mistakes? Obviously, because they lost. Would they have won if Biden had stepped down much earlier and held a longer and more open leadership race? Quite possibly. But it’s important to note that the moment Biden stepped down and endorsed Harris, the support for her was massive, and she did secure the necessary delegates easily. She raised a shit-ton of money, and the party was united behind her. There was a real belief in the Democratic Party that she could win.
I want to bring up Canada for a moment.
In early January of 2025, due to failing support, Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his pending resignation. There was a quicky leadership race and Mark Carney won the Liberal leadership in early March. An election was soon held, and white guy Carney won against another white guy who was seen as a Temu Trump, a Poutine Palpatine.
See the similarities? There was a current leader who was struggling in the polls, so he bailed at the last minute and was quickly replaced and an election soon followed. The systems are different, but all this bullshit about how Harris was forced upon Americans is just that: bullshit. The Democratic Party gets to choose its leader, and it chose Harris, believing she could win.
Where they fucked up was in not realizing how fucking racist and sexist America truly is.
Yep. Canada is too. I doubt I’ll ever see the day where our country or America lets go bigotry, racism, misogyny, hatred for everything not white male, or rule by rape pimping bible/religion.
We can nitpick the little things, but that was the big thing. Biden won in 2020 because he’s a white man. Harris lost in 2024 because she isn’t either of those things.
I recently finished writing the first draft a new book titled Greedy Sexist Religious Bigots: A History of Humanity, which will be published next year. Oooo la la! Great title!
Those four things named in the title have been encoded into our DNA over dozens of millennia because they conferred a survival advantage. They were then further ingrained at the societal level as we built systems and institutions and power structures that forced avarice, misogyny, zealotry, and hatred to become pervasive in human populations across areas and eras, although to varying degrees.
The top five most racist countries in the world are Iran, Belarus, South Korea, Myanmar, and Israel. But when it comes to “Western” nations, the United States is by far the most racist. The only Western nation more sexist than the United States is Greece, and there are those who think Greece is only tacitly “Western,” included as a legacy because it helped give birth to modern western civilization.
A nation’s history shapes its destiny, and American history is really fucking racist and really fucking sexist.So is Canada.Obama is Black, but male, and so he won because he was compelling candidate, and people were sick of eight years of Republicans. Clinton is female, but white, and while she lost the Electoral College, she still received 3 million more votes than Trump. Harris, conversely, received 2.3 million fewer votes than Trump.
Saying Harris’s 2024 loss was because of Gaza, or the election was stolen by Musk, or there wasn’t a proper leadership race, are all just cover stories for the real reason.
Harris lost because America is too racist and too sexist to elect a woman of color as president.
Those who cannot remember the past … need a history teacher who says “fuck” a lot. Get both volumes of On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down.
Jaime Martin:
Thank you for stating this bluntly. I don’t know why so many dance around the issue when it’s obvious. Thank you!
Betty Cyrus:
I have said this repeatedly to anyone who will listen but then, I’m just a Whyte Woman of a certain age. So tired of the leadership refusing to name and shame MAGA for its racism and sexism. Anyone who actually has a brain and lives or knows people who live in rural or small town America knows why Trump won. These people have been lied to for 50 years and they don’t know anyone different than them. They feed off each other’s fears and pretend they are knowledgeable but are jealous of anyone who has an education. And they are very, very racist and sexist. Trump allows them to be as ugly as they want to be to lash out at what they don’t want to understand.
Ray Zielinski:
My thoughts exactly. Sexism, and this time, racism allowing Trump to fail up…again.
Kit:
As a white woman, I fucking hate that this is painfully accurate. White women vote the way their shitty racist husbands tell them, even at our own cost, as long as they get to still enjoy that sweet, sweet white privilege.
Darcy Siegel:
The day Kamala lost, I understood just how little our country cares about women.Or girls. I’ve known this my entire life. That’s the thing about being raped as a girl. You learn no one cares; you learn you have no value, not in your family, community, or school/health care. I cannot believe how many people, including family members told me to my face, my only allowed purpose in life was to service men, and make babies, that only boys have value. Fuck that abusive shit. I blame religion, notably the raping catholic church, and the evil religious texts including the bible which is propaganda written by men to control women and girls, to abuse, use as slaves, and rape.
E. Henry Schoenberger:
MLK Jr. called it many decades ago when he note: “no group has experienced more prejudice than people of color, except women.” Spot on, despite all the hand wringing bs, it AMERICAN ENDIMIC BIGOTRY.
And MAGA is code for MAWA, make America white again – derived from the KKks slogan.
Everyone wearing a red hat knows their are bound together by White Supremacy. And the wealthiest Americans who voted for the Russian Asset are sociopaths, unbothered by racism, misogyny, Fascism and grift… self-absorbed in greed without regard for victims, including Democracy.
…
Silence breeds Fascism. It’s past time to acknowledge that what is happening is a bloodless COUP. And in lieu of chronicling each outrageous act, each constitutionally unlawful act, it’s time to step up to the line in defense of the Constitution to protect Democracy.
I took an oath “to defend the Constitution from foreign & DOMESTIC ENEMIES,” to attend USNOCS starting on 19/Sept/1964. Generals and Admirals took the same oath, as did members of Congress. There is no oath to defend a President or king or self-evident Traitor in the Oval, under the influence of a foreign enemy, who is supported by a complicit party.
So top Congressional Democrats, considering there is a self-evident war against the Constitution and Democracy, considering there is no regard for the Constitution by the GOP Supreme Court Justices, must authorize military leaders to step up to the line to do their sworn duty to defend the Constitution, ie., Democracy.
Thomas Jefferson said: the role of government is to protect the public good. It would be better if a few Republicans would join with Democrats, if any of the leaders have the courage to do what is clearly necessary — but to not speak this out loud is to be silent…and we know from Nazi Germany .
This bears repeating: SILENCE BREEDS FASCISM.
Alicia Brown:
I like the title of your upcoming book.Me too! I can’t wait to read it~!
Amy Roberts:
While it’s disgusting, I do believe it’s true. Thanks for calling attention to the issue.
KB in AZ:
Sad but unfortunately true. To our everlasting peril.
Garret Fitzgerald:
Good analysis.
Stanley Wotring:
Spot on analysis!
The Progressive Granny:
Yes this is correct.
Julie Pasquale:
As an American super voter and white woman of a certain age, I’ve been saying the same thing since November.
Americans were too fucking stupid, racist and sexistCanadians too! to elect the smart and highly qualified black lady so here we are. Please accept my sincere apologies from your shitty downstairs neighbors. I know we’re a nightmare, but a lot of us are trying our best.
Chelle Busch:
Absolutely, painfully correct. But, as a Canadian, can we claim we’d do much better? I figure..nope.
John Boyd:
Fucking nailed it. Again.
Robin L’Etoile:
That was my fear all along.
Sheila:
Very sad but very true!
Lisa:
Yes. Thank you for saying it.
