Why did Kamala lose ?

Anonymous
1. People will never elect a female President. 2. She’s highly unlikable. You’d need a political Dolly Parton to win.

I agree with all above.

One thing I don’t understand - seeing lots of reports of long lines. When that happens, elections tend to go blue. How didn’t it happen this time?

After seeing more than I ever had in my entire life in the last few months I still have no idea what she stands for; other than student debt forgiveness and transgender rights.


Doesn’t that tell you everything you need to know? That and opening the border. She’s been very open about that. She flipped on that more than John Kerry.

Jen Psaki is biased. She has never pretended to just “read the news”. Her show has a perspective.

That would explain why my precinct didn’t have the proper machines. In Maryland.

Because men would rather vote for a criminal and rapist than a woman. It had nothing to do with policies. Trump has no viable plans.

It is always core issues for common working people. Stable economy, affordable living, less crime, no free pass entrants. I voted for Kamala but in my heart I knew these issues were not front and center on the Dem ballot. They should have focused on the basics.

Immigration
Biden was elected as a moderate and swung waaaay too far left. Harris would have continued the trajectory

Well you call half the nation nazis or garbage, you fight to allow mentally ill men to compete against your daughters in sports and force their daughters to change in locker rooms with grown men, you let in large swaths of illegal aliens to sick already expensive resources and take over apartment complexes and run gangs, you spend 100s of billion on a war overseas while Americans can’t afford their grocery and utilities, you rig with a candidate who wasn’t even elected but appointed to “save democracy”, you make abortion your top priority when most Americans don’t care for it, you gaslight the public for three and half years by putting Mr Magoo in charge of the nuclear codes, you select a VP who gives people the creeps and you spend the last four years telling men they’re sexist misogynist pigs and they’re the problem.

I think that about covers it.

Her support of Israel.

Also now that she’s lost can we all acknowledge she’s extremely dumb? There’s a reason her 2020 campaign flopped.

- she could have made a better VP pick
- she couldn’t answer the simple question are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?
- the two issues most important to American voters were the economy and immigration and Trump was seen as stronger on both.

Unbiased journalism at its finest.

The easy answer is that she has never previously been tested in a real competitive election so it was nuts to put her up for President without that experience of how to win.

Biden, Obama and Bill Clinton were all battle tested in challenging primaries. They all also had experience winning surprising statewide elections at very young ages.

There is an un-likeability factor about her that is unrelated to her race or gender. This results in a strange outcome where the more people are exposed to her the less they like her.

The reason we know that it’s unrelated to her race and gender is because of 2019 Dem primary polling in her home state of CA followed the same trajectory as the Presidential election this year. Started strong and then faded.

In July 2019 she was in 1st place in California. By October 2019 she was in a very distant 4th polling in single digits behind Warren, Biden and Sanders. So her own homestate Democratic voters who had voted for her already preferred other candidates to her, including 2 out of state Senators with the leading candidate a woman (Warren).

The problem is just Harris.
