As I said yesterday, today is the day we start to figure out how to fight back against what is coming. From what I read yesterday a lot of men still won’t vote for a woman, especially Latino heritage men. Plus people said things cost less under tRump in 2019 and felt he could bring prices down to those levels. But that is stupid, he won’t and can’t because to him and the wealthy profit is king. But what could happen is that their incomes will be cut, their safety nets will be cut. One guy was heard saying tRump had the economy and immigration and Harris only had women’s rights and Democracy. Think on it, hating others was more important than others rights and Democracy. But we will learn more. Arab voters who claim they warned Harris she needed to change on Gaza will notice that already Israel has increased its take over of Gaza, saying that Palestinians will NOT be allowed to return to the north and all that are still there will be killed. Knowing that tRump will back him. So they sure made a difference didn’t they. Hugs.
Vice President Kamala Harris led President-elect Donald Trump 86% to 12% among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voters, according to the NBC News Exit Poll Desk.
Former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become the next U.S. president, NBC News projected, but he didn’t do so with the help of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voters.
LGBT voters shifted even more solidly into the Democratic camp this year, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. Harris led President-elect Trump 86% to 12% among LGBT voters, the poll found. That’s a 15-point change from 2020, when Trump won 27% of the LGBT vote against Biden.
Harris’ performance among LGBT voters was stronger than that of any Democratic candidate in the last five presidential elections.
Although Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance predicted that he and Trump would win the “normal gay guy vote,” the GOP presidential ticket captured fewer than 1 in 5 LGBT male voters, though that figure could also include bisexual and transgender men. Trump’s support among LGBT female voters was even more tepid, at 8%. White LGBT people went solidly for Harris over Trump by 82% to 16%, though Harris’ margin was even bigger among LGBT voters of color at 91% to 5%.
Most LGBT voters said they’d be either “excited” (39%) or “optimistic” (43%) if Harris were elected president. By contrast, 62% of LGBT respondents said they’d be “scared” if Trump won.

According to the exit poll, 8% of American voters identified as LGBT in 2024. That’s the highest share on record. The percentage of the electorate identifying as LGBT has doubled since Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, when it was 4%.
As in previous elections, LGBT voters stood out as one of the most left-leaning voter blocs in the electorate. Among LGBT voters, Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans, 56% to 5%, and liberals surpass conservatives, 61% to 5%. LGBT voters are staunchly pro-choice: 59% say abortion should be legal in all cases, a much higher level of support for abortion rights than among non-LGBTs, at 31%.

Plus prices, at least here, are actually lower than they were in 2019, also no “supply-chain-issues.” People just don’t pay attention. The Republicans gave big companies the leeway to raise prices to their hearts’s content during the COVID grocery crises, so they weren’t exactly going to do much about lowering prices, much, without action from customers. Who went ahead and spent for things, and didn’t have adverse results, but somehow “felt” that things were worse.

Hi Ali. Ten Grain posted on Mock Paper Scissors that the working people felt abandoned by the democrats. And they are almost correct. Starting in the 1980s the corporate democrats took over the party as the wanted that big donor money that was going to the republicans. So they pushed the party to the right, and everything the republicans shifted even further right the corporate democrats followed to be the center. The Overton window on left and right policies shifted drastically from the 1960s / 1970s progressive democratic policies to the Nancy Pelosi corporate split the baby republican lite democrats of the 2010s. The lower incomes got worse off and the democratic party congress members got wealthier. And people seen it. They seen the right play to the base to hide the massive shift in economic wealth in the country as it was more and more transferred to the upper incomes. The republicans used fear and bigotry to keep the base inline. The democrats ran left for the primaries, then stopped playing to our base by instead trying to court the mythical center by shifting to being republican lite. Yes we are doing to help the poor a little but not too much, OK. Don’t attack us or mock us as tax and spend. We don’t want to hurt profit just take a small little piece. That doesn’t win the lower incomes over. It doesn’t. During the last election tRump never tried to reach the center nor the left. He played to the maga base the entire campaign. Harris tried to be the candidate for everyone. He won and the lower incomes helped him because he at least was promising to change the system. They just don’t realize the change will hurt them worse. But our side needs to get a backbone and be fully progressive working for the lower incomes no matter what the right calls us. Look at Ted Kennedy, the Lion of the Senate. He was fully progressive and never backed down or apologized for it. Same with Warren and Sanders who win every election. If Clinton had taken Sanders as her running mate she would have won. Instead she played safe corporate democrats working for business interests and giving a bit of lip service to the left. I have a doctor’s appointment today, so will be offline from 910 to 12 noon.
