Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is just a shitty, chopped up rehost of the original WaPo story with zero added analysis. Here are some actual interview responses:
This is pure, uncut confirmation bias aimed at salivating Harris voters. The only person who said they left because they were voting for Harris is the only person mentioned by RawStory. The rest had other, less clickbait-y reasons.
Yeah it's not the big "Gotcha!" people want it to be
There's always some funny little detail to learn though... It's pretty funny Trump has poor sound quality
I would change the link now, but for some reason every time I try to link to the Washington post, it fails to post properly on lemmy. It's extremely consistent and seems to be limited to juet the Washington post. Unsure why it happens
Maybe edit the description so it has the link to WaPo?
Done now
You thought that was the point?
Wow, that's really...idk, sad?
The point is the cult of personality trump had used to be able to overcome all of these things. These people aren't leaving because they have to they're leaving because they're not as invested as they used to be.
All of these reasons given here are excuses and nothing more. None of these people actually needed to leave but when pressed they didn't want to say trump was boring or they were getting tired.
These are the same people who will say "I'm not into politics" whenever they're pressed on Trump's shitty behavior.
No they won't vote Kamala.
In fact they probably won't vote at all. Trump lost 2020 before this started happening. If his voters are getting more apathetic they're much less likely to vote especially in the face of kamala's massive momentum and purse.
