In the United States, Donald Trump is back as president. Shocking, right? Many people are wondering how this happened. Let's dive into it. Trump's campaign was filled with hateful messages, but he still won. This happened because the Democrats didn't stand for anything clear. They tried to attract Republicans who weren't happy with their party, but they failed to talk to their own supporters. Kamala Harris, who ran for president, did many things wrong. She lost votes from young people and people of color because she wasn't clear about her stance on important issues. She tried to be understanding, but that's not enough. Democrat voters felt unrepresented by Harris, and that's why Trump won again. Another problem is that working-class organizations and unions have weakened over time. People aren't talking to each other as much, and there's not much trust left. So, when Trump says he can fix things with a button, people believe him. It's a big issue. The Democrats thought they could win by being neutral, but that didn't work. They need to stand for something strong, like working people and human rights. That's what they should have done. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris didn't handle their power well. They made big mistakes, like trying to be better than Obama and ignoring inflation. Harris struggled in interviews and didn't find a good running mate. Harris also didn't make a strong stance on important issues, like women's rights and the war in Palestine. She tried to move to the right, but that didn't work. Voters wanted change, not a repeat of the past years. The Democrats need to go back to their roots. They need to work for working people and avoid divisive issues that only a few people care about. If they do this, they might win the next election. But for now, America has Trump again.
