Why did Kamala lose ?

Biden admin lies (he’s “sharp as a tack”)
Biden admin internal coup

But the main one is this:
Biden admin reversing all of Trumps border policy on Day 1.

Presidents have to keep continuity and play politics to what the country likes. For instance, Obama didn’t reverse the Bush tax cuts on day 1. President Trump didn’t reverse Obamacare on Day 1.

Biden was so mad Trump didn’t concede the election or call him to congratulate that he went crazy on trying to intentionally reverse all Trump policy. Curiously he kept the tarriffs on China


Add. Shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan.

I think the “America hates women” explanation is dismissive and intellectually lazy.

Are there voters who will never vote for a woman? Yes. But they are a small minority.

47.9% of voters did vote for a woman (Harris or Stein). At most, 52% of voters “hate women.” But that’s if you believe each and every Trump vote was based on hating women. I bet Nikki Haley would’ve won with even more votes than Trump.

If Dems chalk this up to misogyny and nothing else, they will learn nothing. They will put forth a male Kamala Harris in four years and lose again.

Because they cheated

However, Harris lost mostly because her campaign never understood what’s motivating most Americans at the polls — namely, jobs and inflation.

She ran a better campaign than Clinton and was royally screwed by Biden, who should have dropped out much earlier. But ultimately she made the same mistake as Clinton.


Stop. The same mistake as Clinton is not having a penis. It’s sexism, that’s it.

CNN is talking about demographic data.


The Daily did a story about black voters a few days back. The stimulus checks were authorized by Biden but had Trump’s name on them.

They will if the women win primaries before they are set up to win a National election

Exactly. Americans are done with Democrat dirty dealing.

Kamala had no independent opinions about anything

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.


That’s my complaint, as well.

Point blank, yes or no question, and she babbles “you see, I was born in a middle class family. When you come from a middle class family, you know what it’s like to be middle class….excuse me, I’m talking, I’m talking…middle class folks built this country and that’s what I came from a middle class family.”

Super lax mail in voting rules during the pandemic probably had something to do with that.

As in fake ballots to get Joe his magic 81 million. Lol.

People didn’t like Kamala nor did they like Walz.

People didn’t want to continue Biden’s policies.

People are struggling economically.

People don’t like paying taxes so illegal immigrants are gifted food, shelter, and medical care.

People don’t like men and boys pretending to be women and girls playing sports with girls and women.

I saw this coming. I voted for Kamala, but she always came off as a lightweight, both in 2019 and again in 2024. I didn’t think she was as good VP pick either.

But at the end of the day, the personalities really don’t seem to matter to voters. Fear equals votes. Biden won in 2020 because Covid shook the economy to its core, and in 2024, I think the perception that Dems care more about illegal immigrants and trans people than the “average Joe” hurt them badly.

Losing the rust belt was no shock. I think Biden was actually a good president, but what did he do to improve the lives of the working class in the rust belt? Not much. The CHIPS Act wasn’t exactly creating blue collar jobs.

Disinformation on social media clearly is how elections are now won or lost. Dems need to figure out how to play that game or lose in perpetuity.

I think the Dems need to do some serious soul searching on their priorities. Most Americans have shown that they don’t care about the plight of refugees, trans people, Palestinians, or women wanting abortions after a few weeks. I don’t agree with that, but it’s just a reality. Will the party continue to try to claim the moral high ground on these issues? Clearly that isn’t a winning electoral strategy.
