Yeah, it's almost as if running a Black, woman candidate that had already been rejected by the Democratic voting base in the most critical campaign in the history of the country wasn't that great an idea. I'm sure this time you'll be able to yell people into voting the way you want, though.

Yeah, the Black part was a big problem for you wasn't it? P.S. It wasn't the base of the party who rejected her.

No, I voted for her even though I knew she was going to lose. And it wasn't the Black part that did the most damage, it was the woman part. You can see it in the numbers. She lost a huge number of white, Black, and Hispanic men.

Why do you all keep thinking you ate the base of the Dem party? You are not. Harris’ campaign outpaced all other campaigns in small donor contributions. Sounds like people chose her. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Oh, did I miss the part where she won? Sounds like people didn't choose her. The "base" of the Democratic Party is a coalition of groups ranging from Black women to Communists. If any part gets alienated Democrats lose. You can be mad at me all you want, but I didn't lose it for her.

In fact, I'm one of the very few educated white men -- another coalition in the "Base" -- that DID vote for her. I'd prefer you guys stopped going out of your way to drive away voters, but you do you.
