she lost ground with both the Black vote and the Hispanic vote, which is pretty stunning if you consider who she was running against. Identity politics is dead, people want an effective leader who can win.

100%-I wanted her to be the nominee in 2020. I watched her in the debates, she was AWFUL. She dropped out of the race after 2 debates, never made it to a single primary. If Joe Biden didn't "anoint" her in 2024, she never would've won the nomination at the convention. Bad candidate, badly managed.

Me too, I was rooting for her in 2020 until the debates.

The voters in 2020 let her know they didn’t want her. Her nasty attack on Biden, “ I was that little girl”! sunk her and made her seem mean. Even with a shortened DNC primary campaign another candidate might have had a chance. So many excellent people waiting for the chance but didn’t get it.

Yes you're right. She thought she was going to ride that "I was that little girl" outrage shit to disqualify Biden and get the nomination. She had NOTHING.... her 2020 "candidacy" was a fucking joke.

It was at the time of the Black Lives Matter movement and this was her jab for personal gain. No other Democrat attacked a fellow candidate like that. The worst outcome was, she got VP because of political pressure even though Biden wanted Whitmer. She might have made it if she was the choice.

It's another sign of how weak and feckless the Democratic Party has been that they pushed for Harris for VP, as a superficial nod to identity politics, rather than thinking hard about who could/should be the next Presidential candidate. And who could WIN.

As bad as she was in '20 (and she was bad), the 2024 campaign was very good. Remarkable really, considering the time crunch.

If she won, you could say it was a good campaign. Ridiculous. Could you possibly set a lower bar for her, just stop it.

She never went beyond her talking points, never explained the weird 2020 positions she'd taken or why she pivoted away from them. And the pointless distractions like talking about her Glock and bringing out Liz Cheney. And the weak pick of Walz. She did well in the debate but that's it.

Postmortems aside, historians are going write "America failed its final exam. The difference could not have been more stark, the choice any simpler." The fault, dear Brutus, lay not with our stars but with ourselves.

nonsense. Let's try an actual *good* candidate like Whitmer before we decide that.
