This type of sentiment is exactly why the Democrats lost. Keep alienating the white voters

I don't think white voters got alienated nor do I think this is why the Democrats lost.

They didn't run a primary and they put up a person that refused to back down when he was way too old to run, found that that he was not nearly popular enough to win again, said "Oh shit" and put up his running mate who happened to be a mixed minority woman.

No white person was like "Well gosh darn, I feel alienated by signs for Kamala Harris" because all the signs were just "Harris 2024". You're making up a thing that didn't happen.

You’re telling me that the left leaning Democratic Party has not been harboring anti-white sentiments and this did not hinder that voting demographic at all? That I’m just making this stuff up?

Please tell me more about how the Democrat party, which had a majority (56%) of its candidates as white, harbors anti-white sentiment? 🤨

Your logic of “ They are mostly white so how can they harbor anti white sentiments” is like saying “I have black friends, how can I be racist “

The election was lost on very small margins, state by state. Your dismissal of this tells me what i’m talking about has merit. This is just many of the reasons why many white voters chose Trump election. I agree with u/cody422 in the idea that it’s ALSO what he mentioned that caused the loss. But to dismiss my claim entirely is crazy
