The State of American Politics Post-Election

The recent US presidential election has revealed deep divisions within the electorate, with the same individual taking office for two non-consecutive terms, raising concerns about the future of American democracy. Many voters expressed disappointment that the presidential candidates included individuals with controversial pasts, such as those accused of inciting insurrection or other criminal activities. The results suggest that while Trump’s vote did not significantly increase, the Democratic vote decreased, hinting at a troubling political landscape for the Democrats. Political strategies, particularly Harris's campaign, failed to resonate with voters, leaving many wondering why alternatives to aging candidates were not considered more seriously.
