    America does lean right politically speaking, yes. And Lemmy as a whole is more left leaning. No argument there.

    That being said, the election itself saw a poor turnout for Democrats thanks to some unpopular policies that were made to try and appeal to Republicans. This led to Harris to incrementally lose support over the weeks leading up to the election and which culminated in Trumps victory. She started off pretty strong. People wanted something new than what Biden had to offer, which was a moderate approach to politics when the other side are far-right fascists. But she stuck to the status quo as a whole and that backfired as the reasons why Biden was so unpopular (age aside) extended to her as well.
