Why Harris Lost

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : When asked whether Trump or Harris "would do a better job" of "defending against threats to democracy," 43 percent picked Trump, while 40 percent chose Harris.
37% : "Should Trump defy history and return to the White House as a convicted felon, he will send a message to the world that elections don't matter," added the Daily Beast, quite unaware of how democracy and elections work.
35% : ""'He's Talking Like Hitler'," blared a headline for the Atlantic's Anne Applebaum, who warned that Trump wants "absolute power" in his second term.
30% : While over half said that threats to democracy were important to them, the voters trusted Trump (44 percent) more than Biden (33 percent) to protect democracy.
29% : Whoopi Goldberg even explained how Trump is committed to being a dictator who will "put you people away... take all the journalists... take all the gay folks... move you all around and disappear you."
23% : Harris was angry that things were not going her way and constantly expressed the Hillary-esque idea "How could I possibly be losing to a guy like Trump?"
23% : Harris lost because she tried to make "Trump is a fascist" her closing argument, and no one was listening anymore.
23% : "Trump is Hitler," claimed James Carville.
22% : But the worst was saved for last, a Harris campaign closing argument based on a coordinated effort to proclaim that Trump is an actual fascist, a real-life Dr. Evil who seeks the presidency so that he can rule as a dictator, destroying the Constitution and the rule of law as he goes about his nefarious tasks.
22% : The coordinated fascist line began with Generals Kelly and Milley announcing that Trump is a flat-out fascist who seeks to be a dictator.
20% : Trump is an angry man representing angry constituents.
18% : Softball questions from the ever-so compliant mainstream media were met with ever-vaguer answers, bits of biography, and the odd nasty remark about Trump.
18% : The credibility of that story has also been refuted, with former national security adviser John Bolton denying Trump uttered those words and asserting the former president did not visit the cemetery for reasons related to weather and security.
17% : The Atlantic had published a similar Hail Mary story in September 2020 citing anonymous sources claiming Trump canceled a 2018 visit to a French cemetery where American troops are buried, declaring that they were "suckers" and "losers."
13% : And working people worry much more about payday than they do January 6.January 6 was an embarrassing day for America, but a) it had no chance of making Trump the election winner and b) two weeks later, with not much in between, Biden was inaugurated.
11% : In a powerful video clip circulating on social media, Jerry Wartski blasted Harris and her fellow Dems for comparing Trump to Hitler and his supporters to Nazis.
