Now they’re blaming it on the last 4 years. Wait….the same 4 years that they’ve been telling you were awesome for the last 4 years? Interesting.

[doranmaxwell]

This should be a warning for 'Today' who is trying to distance themselves from what they actually did and said.

[WeeMrSkeltal]

These are the same people who defended Biden and said he was fit to be president. Now they're saying he should have stepped down 2 years ago. Crazy how fickle these clowns are 😅

AOC is “elite college educated”. 🤣🤣

She was a bartender elevated to a position she wasn’t qualified for.

The party that ran on race and gender, ironically lost by race and gender.

You mean you can't just anoint someone and win without a primary?
Huh. Who would have guessed.

[retrogamingmaniac]

If y’all wanted Biden to step aside earlier, then you should have stopped propping him up and lying about his mental state. It was obvious he has declined substantially

[lynnoserb]

She wouldn't even talk and thank her voters... 😂 She stood them up last night

[angelmission]

They couldn't LIE about the ECONOMY, the people FELT it!!!

[Chad_Max]

lol shaming men and marginalizing them won't get you votes...

[reneefavorites]

He didn't step down, he was ousted, and they installed her.

[nyccollin]

I feel so unburdened by what has been.

[kabeblak]

The only people who should be shocked are those that live in a bubble.

[charlieward]

Who would’ve thought women go to the grocery store more than abortion clinics

[larrysims]

This was the media vs the people. The people won

[cattinkerbell]

Thank god we now have a president for the AMERICAN people.

Blaming an "education gap" for losing the election is a classic cop-out—it's like saying, "We lost because voters just didn't understand us." It's both a lazy excuse and an insult to the electorate. If a campaign’s message, policies, or candidate didn’t resonate, maybe that’s a signal to rethink the platform instead of assuming people didn’t "get it."

This excuse also sidesteps the responsibility of connecting with diverse voter bases and creating policies that actually address their concerns. Ultimately, campaigns are about making a case that speaks to real-life issues, not just hoping voters will study up and come around. So if an education gap was the only bridge to victory, maybe it’s time to examine what that really says about the messaging strategy.

He didn't step aside. Y'all threw him away.

[DonnaHusson]

The media had a lot to do with Trump's victory. People are tired of being lied to and told how to think. We want an unbiased media, something that has been sorely lacking.

[WombHead]

Everyone is tired of what these women think
