We'll know over the week when they start looking at who voted for her and who didn't. She did worse than Biden did in most states, and Michigan wasn't even THAT big of a loss despite it housing a big Muslim population there.
I do not think there is an immediate silver lining. This is a current that does not only exist in america, all western countries are currently shifting to the right (even if they might not seem like it, because even social democratic parties shift to the right). This is a wave that is going to hurt a lot of people, until enough of them are fed up (similarly to the first time Trump was voted out).
It was also Harris and the Dems trying to appeal to the wrong demographics. I think they did do enough "vote for us because," but I could be wrong because I've heard about Harris offering an easier path to buying homes, Biden Admin fighting to put back protections for consumers, and more.
No! Democrats should offer to legalize more illegal immigrants. Next time latinos will definitely warm up to that.
What other solution is there besides amnesty though?

At least electorally, the opposite. Personally, I'd go for mass deportations, permanently banning people who enter the country illegally from the possibility of even a tourist visa, severely punishing businesses that hire illegal immigrants, working on legal immigration pathways that respond to US job market conditions and needs. Don't separate families at the border, that shit is cruel and inhuman, deport them together. Cut illegal immigrants off from social services. Get the military involved at the border from time to time.

What kind of response would you rather?
I was sort of expecting a more similar response to his 2016 win tbh. Trump's not any better than he was back then, most folk abroad hated him. I still remember him sort of treating the UN as one of his rallies and folk there simply laughing at him. if anything trump's worse than he was back then. Older and crazier and his cultists are even more unhinged now. Ukraine is now a coin toss that as far as I can tell depends on which outcome makes trump look like he personally won and trump has been pretty clear about how he feels about israel-palestine. I honestly get the kamala hate and democrats 150% lied through their teeth about biden's overall state but trump is a lunatic.
Maybe, but I do believe this was the last time you saw a female president candidate for the foreseeable future. Like the next 30-50 year or so. 2 women losing this much against the same guy, especially the 2nd time after the same guy's fans have done the J6 riot, has obvious plans to turn America into a more autocratic state (no matter how many times Trump says he doesn't know Project 2025, if his plans are to hire most of the people working on it then it gonna get implemented) and ofc is willing to forego of the US power position by isolating themselves from everyone be it Mexcio, Canada or their Nato partners and the 2nd woman still lost, tremendously. Yeah, no way any party gonna put up a woman for president in many many elections to come.
There is nothing the world can do about it. They gonna do what they did in the 4 years of Trump, some will kiss his ass because it just works and try to convince him the others kissing his ass are not kissing it enough while others will try to find different partners and look down until 2028 with a new president like they did with Biden.
Yeah, I didn't mean that only Ukraine stands to suffer - just their suffering will be more immediately evident than others
I would hope that aside from denouncing the fat orange cheeto, that the US Allies straight up tells the Dems what utter incompetent idiots they have been.
