Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
The thing you're forgetting though is that Kamala is ALSO a shitty candidate like Hillary and Biden was.
As others have already pointed out, she is the only candidate who polled worse than Biden against Trump. She's nowhere near the level of charm and charisma Obama was.
At least half the country thinks she's a Cultural Marxist that will destroy America (I wish). And her fanbase is nearly identical to Hillary's was (suburbanite wine moms).
Of course her being younger, not part of any political dynasty, and also actually non-White could tip the scales in her favour. But we'll see.
This has changed is the thing.
I also dont think she's as viscerally unlikealbe as Hillary was, nor does she have her baggage. I stand by thinking Hillary was uniquely qualified to lose to Trump and the only reason Biden entered that category is that he's dying lol.
