“Trump, he's a very confounding figure. We have no idea how to organize against him. We have no idea how to respond. We have no idea how to not take the bait.”

“There has been a lot of soul searching. Democrats have been looking at when Biden got out of the race and whether there should have been a primary, but also about the issues that the party was focused on in the race. The Democratic Party and Kamala Harris were very much expecting the issue of reproductive rights and abortion rights to motivate women to the polls. The majority of women did support support Harris. But that was not enough to overtake Trump's lead and that was not what they predicted. There has been a lot of talk about the economy and how that was a big concern for so many people and that perhaps the Democrats should focus more on their messaging on that topic. But how the Harris campaign got their message out has also been a big point of discussion. The Republicans put Donald Trump on podcasts that were very popular with young men and used influencers on social media to get the word out. Democrats focused very much on traditional mainstream media.”

“The election represents a decisive rejection by American voters of liberalism and the particular way that the understanding of a 'free society' has evolved since the 1980s. Donald Trump not only wants to roll back neoliberalism and woke liberalism, but is a major threat to classical liberalism itself.”

“Donald Trump has won the presidency, but I don't believe he will deliver on his promises. Like other self-interested autocrats, his remedies are designed to exploit problems instead of solving them, and he's surrounded by oligarchs who want to loot the system instead of reforming it. Mass deportation and tariffs are recipes for inflation. Tax cuts and deregulation will exacerbate inequality. America First impulses will fuel global conflict, technological disruption and climate conflagration. Mr. Trump is the new establishment in this country and globally, and we should emphasize that instead of painting him as an outlier or interloper.”

“If you want to make somebody iconic, try to throw them in jail. Try to bankrupt them. ... If you want to make somebody iconic, try to kill him. All of those things failed. They just made him [Donald Trump] bigger and more powerful as a political force. Every one of those things turbocharged his candidacy.”

“This [Trump's support from Arab Americans and Muslims] was not even a shotgun wedding - it was a blind-date wedding. Trump would pursue policies that will make them more furious. The more they see what's going to happen, the less enchanted they'll be. I don't expect the right wing in the Jewish community to be disappointed at all, unfortunately.”

“Harris focused too much on abortion rather than more salient issues, such as economic policies, that would appeal to working class voters, including women. This caused Harris to lose critical battleground states that had consistently voted for Democrats before 2016. Harris lost Wisconsin because she lost the working class and did not win women, suburbs and young voters.”

“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say that the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting. While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign. I will never give up a fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams ambitions and aspirations. I will never give up the fight for our democracy. We will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts and in the public square. Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win. The important thing is don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place.”

“What is now a central part of this character is what I have called the Contempt Paradox: People are drawn to Trump and the contempt he expresses toward his opponents, especially liberal politicians and the news media, precisely because of the contempt he draws in return. This is the through line of his politics. The implications are stark. For a significant portion of his supporters, he didn't win in 2016 in spite of his notorious remark to Access Hollywood about grabbing women by their private parts, or in 2024 in spite of his election denialism. He won in some measure because of these things - and the indignation they inspired.”

“I think it's going to be unprecedented in American electoral history, in American presidency. I think we are at a turning point that we haven't seen except a few times in American history. There is a newly changed America, an America that has decided that it wants to break with the past, break with the liberal past. Because if you notice, Trump ran on an agenda that is both nationalistic, ultra-nationalistic, and anti-liberal, in every possible way anti-liberal. We really need to address the fact that Americans in general and independents in particular are no longer happy with liberal Democrats of the East Coast and West Coast. That California and New York will no longer be the dominant political establishment in the United States. That the heart of America, as it were, if you see it in the map, all that red part of America, the hinterland, the America profound, as it were, this is going to rule and govern through Trump. And this America is illiberal to a large degree, it is somewhat conservative, and it's certainly very resistant and very resentful of the liberal elites in New York and California.”

“She [Kamala Harris] had decades of government experience under her belt: from her time as a public prosecutor to her service in the Senate and White House. That raises questions about why so many voters opted for her opponent. This loss just underscores the amount of ingrained racism and white hetero-patriarchy, the deep-seatedness of white supremacy in this nation. You can't deny that she is someone who could have served as president on day one. Trump has repeatedly described Harris as low IQ and mentally disabled, even calling her one of the dumber people in the history of our country. That kind of rhetoric gave his supporters a licence to dismiss and denigrate Harris. The way that Trump has painted her and people's responses to her have just brought out the worst in a lot of folks.”
