AOC Asked People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump To Explain Why—And Their Answers Are Eye-Opening

Good analysis:

"Ppl like her because she’s real. Ppl perceive Trump as real too. Dems need to do a better job of just being real with ppl. Coming on social media and chatting with ppl, etc."

That's why people liked Bernie too.

trump only picked up 500,000 more votes than last time. Lets hear from the 10,000,000 that voted in 2020 but not this election

If you voted for trump and AOC you need to make sure you never leave home without your fucking helmet on. Fuck.

This is fucking nuts. Some of those answers are people being so uninformed and then acting like they're the ones that are informed. Some even voted for Trump because they think he's anti-war and will stop the Genocide in Gaza despite him wanting to turbocharge it. It's just. Fucking depressing. I don't know how to counter this. The far right has created a media ecosystem that allows them to feed trash into their viewers brains even if it's a blatant lie and those people will go from voting for a blatant racist and fascist who thinks people of color are not real Americans, to voting for a left leaning woman of color.

It's almost like they don't have any actual morals or beliefs and only care about being anti-establishment. Some say they'd vote for Bernie but instead voted for Trump despite them being completely opposite people. These people don't have media literacy. They've been brainwashed, and I don't know how to fix it.

I appreciate the value of honesty and authenticity as key reasons people choose to support a candidate.

However, it is clear that Donald Trump often makes false statements.

Furthermore, Kamala Harris might have benefited from participating in more contemporary media formats, such as podcasts and Twitch streams, to enhance her outreach. Additionally, focusing less on appealing to Republican voters might have been advantageous, as this strategy CLEARLY contributed to her electoral loss.

Jesus christ, this is what unaffordable education does to people. For fucks sake. I mean it's only fitting for a population that can't figure out that someone advertising a 1/3lb burger and directly comparing it to the competition 1/4lb, bragging about the price being the same, might indicate that 1/3lb is more despite 3 being a smaller number. What a combination, people that belive their thoughts are the only source of truth while having no clue what they're talking about.

I think long COVID has impacted more Americans than we realize. Everyone out there suffering from diminished capacities thinking that the fascist sex-pest goomba is somehow more reliable than the nice black lady. I dunno about you guys, but I've just been seeing a whole lot of mistakes lately. On television, in News, in articles, just... everywhere.

And while a lot of it is probably people quiet quitting and not giving a fuck, I think a lot more people are suffering from the extended brain fog of long COVID than we think, and it's affecting everything around us. Unfortunately, that includes voting practices in elections.

I had to stop reading the replies she received; the stupidity made my head hurt. My hatred for humanity is growing by leaps and bounds daily. I think I'll be a full blown misanthrope within 2 or 3 days. It has become crystal clear that we need to pull the weeds out of the gene pool. I'm for instituting a national license program to breed. You may obtain a license if you can pass a test which consist of a common sense section and the civics section of the U.S. naturalization test. 🤨😁

Edit: For the morons that can't tell. This was fucking sarcasm.

I couldnt care less for the why. If you voted Trump, a third party candidate or not at all you are responsible for the coming fascism you waste of cells

I thought this was just click bait. But some of the answers are actually interesting (and scary in that way) how people can "rationally" explain how they fell for the lies of trump ("he cares about Muslims", "he is a political outsider", "he gets things done"...)

It's the delivery.

Delivery is everything.

Trump reached these people, and Biden/Harris did not. It's that simple. The message does not matter if it doesn't get there. And this is a tremendous failure, considering the war chest the Dems squandered.

And I have zero faith they will learn from it. All the arguing I see is over policy that these people clearly never even laid eyes on.

I saw on more than one occasion that guys didn't vote for Kamala because she didn't go on Joe Rogan's podcast.

I don't know if this kind of thing is captured very well but I wonder how many voted blue for other Federal offices but simply skipped President. I understand the general motivation behind "sending a message" and "leaving this one up to chance" but good Lord.

This is like me refusing to "play chase" with my kid even though he's running right towards the street. It's annoying as fuck every time but the consequence of me "refusing to play" could be dire. After I save the little shit for the 10th time I punish him, but in a way that doesn't kill or cripple him for life.

These answers read like idiocracy…

“He felt like he cared because he was an outsider”

I’m just waiting for “She talked all faggy-like”

“Ow my balls”

“He really spoke to me, and her professional speak made me feel dumb”

I honestly doubt people who vote for AOC and Trump in her district are in any way representative of the swing state voters that actually decide the election. Engagement is what went wrong, obviously, but how it went wrong in those two places can be very different.

Every single one of those answers is straight out of the mouths of Fox News. If you don't disable open nationwide propaganda broadcasts, you'll never fix the problem.

I feel like my brain is getting hijacked. Maybe that’s the point of articles like these.

Authoritarianism prep.

Why did you vote to protect the rail corporation from the union strike AOC?
