@Jackman2357 I can relate- my parents don't consider themselves political people, and I appreciate that I got to develop my own opinions but I also felt in the dark about some things too.
There's a lot of factors into why Harris lost, many of which are still being uncovered. Some of it can certainly be chalked down to there being people out there who don't want to see a woman of color in charge. There are a lot of folks who consider themselves leftists or socialists who voted third party or didn't vote at all as a "protest" to how the Biden administration has responded to the Israel/Hamas war. It's a very complicated issue, but essentially, these people think that Harris wasn't deserving of their vote, but failed to realize that voting for a third party or not voting at all is just helping MAGA Republicans. In my opinion, Democrats also didn't campaign in small counties as much as they could have- there's no reason why the Harris campaign should have lost PA, but they spent all their time in Philly rather than Bucks county (which shouldn't have been lost), and meanwhile, Trump campaigned in Butler of all places. Globally speaking, however, incumbent parties have just been losing out. It's an interesting trend.
And ofc, happy to give you info, this is what I do (:
