So I assume she ran on deporting 25 million people?

no, she failed at that as well. thats kind of the point, she tried to appeal to the right with less than Trump was already offering them.

Okay, so you mean she ran somewhat to the right of HRC/Biden on immigration but you said she ran to the right of Trump and won't admit you got carried away. Immigration is the issue that Trump's still above water on by the way. So proffering that has the reason she lost is also dumb.

"you said she ran to the right of Trump" another one who cant read. i said she TRIED to run to the right of Trump. no other reason to be bragging about how draconian her immigration policy would be

Please explain to me what you think the phrase “to the right of Trump” means. Your literally saying she didn’t do it but insisted she did

i said she TRIED to do so, but failed how many more incredulous questions that could be easily answered by just reading my post do i need to entertain from you, pal?

It’s not incredulous because it’s actually indicative of you view politics. If your saying she failed to get votes, fine. But she literally can’t fail at running to the right of Trump while putting forth policies that are too the left of him

...yes she can, by doing exactly that. she tacked right, with immigration and the "country over party" stuff, and not only gained zero new votes, she may have lost existing votes, thats what id call a failure

Tacked right and running to the right of Trump are not the same thing, how do you not understand this point. If you want to say she failed by going to moderate, that’s fine. I don’t think I agree but whatever. My point is, no one actually knows the “big lesson”. We just hope things are true

how do you continue to misunderstand that i said she TRIED to run to the right, and FAILED. what do you think the big lesson is, out of curiousity?

If she didn’t propose a plan that would deport more than 20 million people, she didn’t try to run the right of Trump. I don’t know, my best guess is how we consume media changed a lot from 2020-2024. Seeing the CEO of Facebook, Google and Twitter at the inauguration was very eye opening.

you dont think the Harris campaign made a single mistake? you dont think there was a single thing they could have done differently that would have resulted in a better election outcome?
