Hillary won the popular vote. Obama won the presidency.
I’m sick of this “Kamala lost because of racism and sexism” argument. She lost because she was a shit candidate. If she was as “educated” as you think she is she wouldn’t have capitulated to the right (who actually are racist, sexist and would never vote for her) and alienated her voters dipshit.
And before you say it, I begrudgingly voted for her because it was the only way to stop fascism. I wish others had too, but thinking it was because the left was “racist and sexist” is fucking delusional.
Keep in mind, that was a while ago. Just like how a lot of people’s relatives didn’t used to be openly fascist, a lot of would-be allies scattered across middle america have been slowly brainwashed over the past decade or so, so you started seeing wild things like the creator of fucking Dilbert unmasking as a white nationalist.
So yes, I wholeheartedly believe there are many, many people who at one point took no issue with Obama, perhaps they even put in a ballot for Hillary, but since then have been brainwashed into viewing taking a knee during the national anthem as an “Attack on all white people”.
“A 55% majority of White voters cast ballots for Trump in 2024. An identical share of White voters favored Trump in 2020, and 54% selected him in 2016.”
Part of why Trump won was because he turned over a lot of non-white voters, not because a larger share of white people voted for him than before.

Don’t be naive.
The numbers actually say you’re naive.
From the same article this graph is from:
“A 55% majority of White voters cast ballots for Trump in 2024. An identical share of White voters favored Trump in 2020, and 54% selected him in 2016.”
