I really think the problem with Kamala is that she defaulted to listening to the mainstream Democrat strategists and due to that didn't get to speak out with her opinion on some extremely relevant issues.

The problem with Kamala is that US voters are effing idiots and getting more stupid every year. She had too much respect for their intelligence. The rest is details.

That may of been the case. But she failed to get how she would be different than Biden out to people.

Again, let's just say, for the sake of argument, that she was exactly like Biden. Only younger and mentally sharp. Just for the sake of making a point. We still come back to the idiocy of people choosing Trump over a younger version of Biden. It shouldn't have even been close.

Or not voting and “keeping the blood off their hands.” I’ll grant a distinction, Trump voters are worse. But if you didn’t vote for Kamala, you are part of the problem.

When a fascist is on the ballot you vote for the best chance to beat them. But 75+% of this country are stupid as fuck.

There are plenty of problems with Kamala, but none that should make any decent person vote for Trump

Um no, the problem with Kamala is Trump stole her votes with help from FElon.

The only issue that defeated Kamala was misogynoir. She was well qualified, ran a good energetic campaign and would have made a wonderful POTUS.

Misogyny was definitely a part of it. So is racism. My MAGA neighbor had a progressive candidate sign in his yard and I figured out why. The other candidate running was black. Racism is still a huge issue here.

Update: misogynoir. I read that wrong when I wrote my comment. That is correct.

You’re deluded if you think that’s the only reason.

She lost some swing states by less than a percentage point. Misogynoir did that.

It’s definitely not the only reason, but if you held everything else steady and removed that factor (which is really multiple things), it probably would have changed the result. You could potentially pick a few other factors that individually would have tipped the scales, but that’s a huge one.

Yes, I sort those other things into a catch all folder labeled ‘issues of folks who will never be pleased’. Seriously.

Yes, that is part of it, and probably a very large part. But it's not the full case.

Thank you for introducing me to the term "misogynoir". Even before I looked it up just now, I knew what it meant.

"Misogynoir" wins the Internet today! 👏👏👏Awesome portmanteau AND (sadly) accurate. Sad to think we've come SO FAR in 250 years, but still have SO MANY still trapped back in 1840s brains.

The problem was the Russians once again hacked an election for Krasnov. Look at the bullet ballots in the swing states. But Dems did nothing.

Our system is too slow to defend against election tampering, there are a lot of lawsuits going on from the election. Same reason the insurrectionist was allowed to run again before he could be charged. Donald J Trump is a pedophile in the Epstein files (for the algorithm).
