laugh she won in my state silly. she lost because she didnt give people a reason to show up for her. recognizing and acknowledging that someone is a shit person and thats why they lost lets you address the problems I mentioned above.
but yes keep burying your head in the sand. the DNC is likely to lose the next election too unless they learn to give their base what they want.
Her opponent was Donald Trump. That's it. That's the reason.
If it was Kamala Harris vs Nikki Haley I'd get it. But this wasn't establishment Democrat vs establishment Republican. It was establishment Democrat vs actual fascism.
JFC, no, no it isn't. This is exactly the point I'm making, this is exactly the reason kamala lost. The majority of the population doesn't give a shit about politics and is uninformed and they dont bother understanding the political landscape.
If you run a campaign on 'im not them' and 'i wont fix any of the things that are negatively impacting your life' you will lose. Never mind demonstrating that you're willing to fucking murder an entire people.
Why? because people are going to say 'well both candidate suck, not going to bother with either'
Then you have the other candidate claiming to they'll fix the price of eggs (even if they wont) and at least they're addressing issues impacting you.
Facts:
Running around saying 'i'm not my opponent, and I will do nothing to help you but i'll do this other thing that costs corporate american nothing and impacts maybe 2 million people' is a fucking recipe for disaster.
This is why kamala was missing 20 million votes. not because she was black, not because she was female, but because she offered nothing for people to show up to vote for her and the democrats despite massive systemetic problems our country is currently facing. When your major policy announcement is lol weed something the majority of the country already has easy access too people will just yawn and stay home.
If you're Canadian reading this thread: Do. not. be. this. person. demand your candidates improve your lives. do not think that simply not being the other person will win.
I 100% agree with you. What a lot of Kamala voters don't realize is that there were a lot of people who WANTED to vote for Trump. They weren't voting for Trump because he wasn't Kamala, they were actually motivated to get out and vote for their guy. Kamala didn't even try anything to get people to come vote for her other than, "I'm not Trump." Learn a goddamn lesson Democrats.
