Kamala's voting record in the Senate was to the left of Sanders & Warren and moderates/sane Republicans viewed her that way (Socialist!) due to how she was portrayed in the media. Harris 2024 got the same or more votes than Biden 2020 in all the swing states save AZ. Trump just did better in all 7

That's not what I've read. Kamala received almost 7 million votes less than Biden. Those who could vote for a white male apparently stayed home or voted for a convicted felon. 7 charts and maps show where Kamala Harris underperformed and lost the election CNN Politics share.google/YqNzglM5IlJI...

Harris did better in NC, GA, and WI and was roughly the same in NV (tiny increase), and PA & MI (tiny decreases). The difference was that Trump did better in all 7 swing states. Dem turnout in blue states like CA, NY, NJ, MD, IL, etc. was down, which accounted for the overall Dem decrease

Yep. Whinny "my way or the highway" Dems. Or in this case my way or I won't vote Dems. As in life, love and business, politics is all about compromise. Not that we should negotiate with terrorists, aka MAGA extremists, but any side that wants everything their way is essentially an autocracy.

I posted recently that no matter how much we deny it, America is still a racist and also sexist nation. And the religious factor is that many of Faith don't believe a woman should be in charge because of the teachings of their book saying women should be subservient to men. Whatever the reasons ...

... there are many on the left to blame for not coming out in record numbers to vote. They are as much to blame for those who came out in droves to vote for a rapist felon. Credit where credit is due, Republicans are party loyal to a fault. Obviously the splintered Democrat Party is not.

Nonetheless millions of Democrats stayed home for some reason. I know in 2016 I had to beg my Sanders supporting niece and her friends not to protest vote for Trump. I heard the same thing from far left progressives about Kamala. I was regularly attacked online for supporting her. So there's that.
