Did you really think Kamala would win? Deep down inside, did you?

I was hopeful but knew it would be an uphill climb. Until mid-October, I thought she’d win but it would be very close. I was so wrong.

No. I wasn’t hopeful at all. She didn’t do well when she ran in the primaries 4 years ago. She ended up dropping out.

There were a lot of negative commercials about her authorizing sex change operations for prisoners and her lack of action on the border. The supportive commercials weren’t memorable to counter those ads. So people who aren’t that interested in politics formed inaccurate opinions.

She doesn’t exude charisma. And there are plenty of women who are slightly suspicious of women who don’t have kids.

I had hope because I thought society would be smart enough to vote against Trump at the very least even if they didnt like her.

But, even if you gave her credit for being qualified due to experience, I knew we would not select a woman over a white man even after after all he did/has done. Trump has managed to get a pass on all the vile language, behaviour, being a felon, failed business person and trying to overthrow our government and they all act like its a nothing burger. We could never run a candidate with this many flaws on the Dem side and fall all over ourselves to vote for them. Can't make this $hit up.

We need to stop running woman though because they are simply not electable at this moment in time regardless of how experienced they are.

I said no from the get go before it was official, thinking America is not ready for a female especially a black one. However i've a lot of friends who are HU alumni and once the energy and enthusiam started, it's like my initial thought went out the door.

Her answer "I will follow the law" as a blanket statement when she didn't want to answer what policies she was going to push for and change (plus her political history) really hurt her.

So did her answer to Sonny Hostin about what she would /wouldn't change from the Biden admin really killed her chances.

Her biggest flaw was hiding in her safe zone. She didn’t sell her self, she just preached to the choir.


I honestly don’t know what her policy positions are. It’s like she was scared to say what she thought, as if everything that came out of her mouth had to be vetted.

She should have gone on Rogan.


+1

She seemed to follow the Biden 2020 strategy of keeping quiet and letting Trump beat himself- with a big assist from the media.

But she is not Biden (who voters were far more familiar with) and this was not 2020 (where she could use COVID as an excuse).

She’d have been better off to put herself out there, take a risk or two and let people get to know HER and what SHE thinks. Rogan would’ve been a great avenue for this. I don’t know why this was never done but IMP she was advised poorly.

Kamala had a better resume than Obama ran. How is that not sexist?

As a woman, as soon as I saw they were replacing Biden with a woman of color with two immigrant parents, my heart sank. I like her and votes for her, but knew she didn't have any chance at all with a typical American independent.

When the DNC tried to appoint her to the presidency, game over. No one heard of her during the Biden presidency, then suddenly she was the person behind every thing he did. Even the Democrats had to be leery of her being in charge of the most powerful country in the world. Many women can be president, but Harris does not have the chops.

Appointed? I seem to recall 81 people voting for her to be VP.

Yes, I truly did believe she would win. I thought she had the momentum, I thought she was having so much fun on the trail, I thought that women of all stripes would show up in record numbers to defeat the rapist Trump.

I was wrong!

I was shocked and remain sad. But also I just don't have the heart to be part of the resistance anymore. I don't think there will be another women's march. My feeling now is that this is what people wanted, and let them have it.

81 million, lol. What a terrible typo.

White male, I voted for her even though I lean conservative. I honestly thought she was a shoo-in. I really thought enough of this country was tired of Trump...maybe not the policies he stands for, but the man himself, that they'd just say no. I was wrong.

I think what shocked me most was Latino men voting for him as much as they did, given his anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Oh she sold herself... all the way to DA, Senator, VP, and POTUS candidate with absolutely no accomplishments or common sense.

You didn't have to be shocked. But you have to diversify your news sources. There really are other realities out there.

This place really started to look loopy when they said poll after poll is a bad "republican" poll.

Females and other affinity groups were being highly over-sampled and there was a ton of push-polling going on.

Comcast, Meta and Disney really didn't want to lose power.
