Why does everyone think Kamala was such a bad candidate?

And that's what she'll likely do.

What do former VPs normally do? They don’t normally stay in elective politics. Dick Cheney. Al Gore. Dan Quayle. Walter Mondale.

They get on corporate boards, do public appearances and make some money.

I think Harris will get some no show job at the University of California that pays a lot.

Mondale had the same misfortune as Harris. He was VP of a very unpopular POTUS and lost his bid for The White House in much more of a landslide defeat than Harris because he was running against a legitimate POTUS candidate in Reagan while Harris was running against a terrible opponent in Trump. Biden deserves 99.9% of the blame for Trump's 2024 victory.

Biden deserves about 25% of the credit for Trump's 2024 victory.

FTFY.

99%. If Biden would have gotten the heck out of the way much sooner, we could have nominated a candidate with the stamp of approval from the American people and any normal candidate nominated in the proper manner would obviously destroy Trump.

Please name one "normal" candidate the current Democratic party could come up with. Oh, and "normal" is defined as a basic understanding and willingness to state that men cannot give birth.

Name a Dem that was a state governor in 2020 and there is a 95% chance that person would have been a much better POTUS option than a 78 year old Biden.

Biden couldn't even capture 1% of the support for Dem candidates in the 2008 primary and backed out after the 1st primary (back when he was actually mentally fit). Why? Because he was running against legitimately presidential people in HRC and Obama. Biden only won in 2020 because of the awfulness of his opponent and he was able to ride the coattails of Obama. He was never close to being of major party nominee caliber. The DNC and Dem party leaders once again duped Dem voters by starting the "Biden is the only person who can beat Trump" BS narrative and Dem voters fell for it hook, line, and sinker. What did Biden lead us to? A second Trump term. No thanks Biden.

What about that series of events makes you think she lost due to racism and sexism? It's not clear how this man's actions are related to racism and sexism unless you spell it out for us.

Your response encapsulates the depths of cluelessness in this country on said issues.

Well, maybe he didn’t like the open border policy, b/c immediate competition's for his job, pushing down wages. Maybe not sexist at all, did you think of that ?

No, Trump and Biden supporters aren't known for their "thinking" skills.

How do you know that, if Biden had been the candidate and lost, the waiter wouldn’t have punched a cut out of him? You are projecting.

Biden actually deserves to be punched for handing the 2024 election to Trump but I'm not going to encourage punching elderly people.

I encourage you to go back to May 2024 posts and see what the left was saying about Biden back then. He was literally the only man for the job, back then. The poor guy was being drug around like a reanimated corpse and if you dared to point out his slurred words or unsteady gait, you were a stupid racist Nazi. And now you want to punch him, for what? The entire base demanded that he stay in all the way up to the point when he ate it on stage at the debate. And even in the days afterward, the left was saying it was fine, everything was fine, just an off day.

No one with at least half a brain ever thought Biden was presidential material; not even 20 years ago when he was mentally fit and in his political prime. The only thing he ever had going for him was being a better option than Trump because just about anyone with a pulse is a better option than Trump.

He was considered the best option to beat Trump, and did, compared to the 10 other Democrats trying to do the same.

I'm not telling anyone who to support but it's okay to NOT vote for people who should NOT be POTUS. Trump and Biden clearly should NOT be POTUS. If no one voted for these people, they wouldn't have become POTUS. Trump's awfulness gave us Biden in 2020 and Biden's awfulness gave us Trump in 2024. We had a choice and chose to nominate Trump and Biden. No regular American chose to nominate Harris so she is different and obviously a few notches up the awfulness pole from Trump and Biden.

This is a very good point. While I do think there are some normal Democrats. I don’t think there are any that could win a Presidential primary.

A common field mouse could have beaten Trump in 2020. What did nominating the elderly Biden in 2020 do for us? It gave us a Trump second term through January 2029!! Not cool. Think before you nominate 78 year old 1st termers. C'mon people, we're smarter than this.

In May 2024 the left was saying that it was unfair to talk about Biden’s mental decline without talking about Trump’s. It is a campaign where no honest assessment of the weaknesses of Biden or Harris could ever be made, but whatabouttrump Democrats would yell.

This isn’t true. Anyone Democrat that supported abolish ICE and defund the police in 2020, which was almost all of them except Biden, would have lost to Trump with those slogans.

Ok, I got it. I can summarize your response to say : everyone should have not voted, or voted for Harris since she is few notches above Trump and Biden. Glad we cleared that up.

What about 2028, since you are down on Harris ?

Wrong! Trump was as unpopular in 2020 as Biden has been in 2024. To suggest that it would take a better than average candidate to beat Trump in 2020 is asinine. Trump was defeated by a sub-standard candidate in 2020. The wheel does not have to be re-invented folks. The reason "normal" candidates didn't surface in 2020 is because the way too influential big money donors wanted the known commodity in Biden and therefore all other candidates were effectively shut out. The same thing happened in 2016 when HRC had no legitimate competition other than Sanders and we all know how far the DNC went to shut down Sanders. No normal candidate is going to forfeit their political future by going against the will of the party's big money donors.

She put Trump to shame during the debate.
I don’t even think her answer on The View that she couldn’t really think of anything she would do differently from Biden was particularly damning. She is his Vice-President, what the heck could she really have said?

And this is coming from someone who voted for Trump, but I would have done so no matter who was on the Democratic ticket.

Why America voted for a felon over democrats

May? Even in JULY, after the debate, posters here were insisting "He did just fine." I must have read the word "fine" 1000 times. Then as soon as the coup took place the posters here were immediately calling Kamala "a breath of fresh air." I want to know who sends out these catchphrases.
