Worse than Trump voters actually. The vast majority of Trump voters have convinced themselves that what they're doing is good, actually, and that the democrats are evil whereas the people who abstained from voting for Harris literally had a choice of a candidate that campaigned on making their number one issue worse, and one that at least attempted to talk about peace deals and decided to just have no impact whatsoever, condemning hundreds of thousands plus to certain death. They claim to be on the side of ending human suffering when in actuality, they're little piss babies that are upset that their 10% of the population doesn't have complete and total control.

The novelization of the third movie is also great and does a lot more to show anakins internal dilemma and psychological state.

Like, the guy was having prophetic nightmares of his wife dying night after night and one of his closest mentors (number 2 behind obiwan) offers a way to ensure those terrible visions never come to pass.

He had already murdered an entire village of sand people at this point. He was clearly capable of horrible things.

Yes. I was agreeing with you in the first place.

Lol the stock market went up by like 15% since he won or something like that. The big banks and holdings groups are wayyy up, same for tesla which just broke 1 trillion.

And yet the party that runs exactly contrary to all those issues just won the election... Polls are great and all, but polling the general population and polling likely voters and exit polls are all very different things lmfao.

Coming back to add that these are polls of democrats for the most part, which only make up 30% of the voting population.

Sometimes, the people that do this shit for a living (not me, but the so called popularity experts you have such disdain for) know more about this than non-experts, just as physicists tend to know more about physics than a rando off the street.

No. You're clearly highly uneducated on American politics or just trolling.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Gaza was not the biggest issue among gen z voters and while there is a chance that young men didn't vote for Kamala because of that, it's much more likely it was general disdain for the democratic candidate. 14 million voters can't be explained by gen z in any way shape or form anyway, considering the number of gen z voters that did show up. Why am I here? Because it's fun to use lemmy and have discussions about politics.

Michigan going red is not a big deal. This is an almost exact repeat of trumps 2016 electoral victory yet you're acting like he's treading new ground entirely lmfao. Yes, even if Harris got PA she wouldn't have won, but after PA was lost, literally nothing else mattered. There was exactly zero chance she won without PA whereas she actually had a path to victory without Michigan. I personally live in PA and I can tell you that I know exactly zero democrats that didn't vote because of Gaza. Fun fact about that too: I was literally going door to door doing political canvassing, and what I can tell you, overwhelmingly, is that anybody whose top issue was Gaza was easily convinced that Harris is the better choice, whereas tons of men my age (older gen z) were intending to vote Trump because of the economy and inflation, and though he is completely indefensible economically, these were the significantly harder group to convince. If you want to go bring me some numbers as to why you're right feel free, but so far ALL anecdotal and empirical evidence that I've seen shows Gaza not to have been a big issue this election.
