But it is. That's why you lost. You're on team discrimination and censorship and child sexualization.

This!! I’ve been screaming this since August. The problem was Kamala, she wasn’t ready and was too nervous and flip flopped too much. And Walz was just….there? That’s all I can say about him.

If we had a Michele Obama and Pete Buttigieg ticket, they would’ve easily won imo.

Yeah ok keep dreaming. That is what is wrong with you people. Pick someone with good policy not just because of skin color, gender, gay.

That's just the only message you decided to hear. I heard a lot about helping small businesses, capping food prices, growing infrastructure and protecting women's rights.

I don't even understand the bolded. Trump's entire campaign is built on discriminating against, at minimum, anyone who disagrees with him. You all are effing hypocrites. Believing people who lie to you and basically ADMIT that they lie to you just because they look like you. You get what you voted for. I hope you enjoy it. I think it's 50/50 whether there is another election in 4 years.

Kamala and Walz were way nicer to you than I would have been. You don't listen when we're nice, and when someone finally loses their cool you use it to vilify the whole party. Own what you voted for. Don't blame it on us. He showed you who he was.

Agree. The majority of the country is moderate and want pragmatic common-sense solutions to the pocketbook issues they care about. They were willing to go farther right to get the latter but were not willing to go farther left.

Walz was a mistake but Kamala was THE mistake.

You elected an elite. Who spent most of his campaign promising other elites to help them at all costs.

Because Trump is representative of non elite???

It's not about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. It's about the Democrats having no bench of campaign talent developed over the past 10 years.

Trump had been campaigning, and only campaigning, for a solid 9 years, and that was after 8 years of soft campaigning and decades of being a celebrity.

This is interesting to me because a born-rich Wharton grad and a Yalie just beat two people with no Ivy League credentials. Walz was a school teacher who attended State schools and served in the Guard. Harris went to USF for law school and worked her way up in the prosecutors office. Neither grew up wealthy. They aren't elite.

I actually think Americans LOVE elites and are suspicious of people who don't have elite backgrounds. They want an elite who is folksy and doesn't feel like he's (and he's got to be a he) condescending to them. GW Bush or Clinton. Obama managed to do this despite initially being too slick, through disciplining his public image and utilizing oratory skill. Trump did it by being gross and flooding the zone (literally he just says things over and over until people believe them). But you need to start with the Ivy League education and elite resume and then dumb it down. You can't do the reverse. People won't believe you (especially if you're a woman or not white).

Trump and republicans have no policy. They’ve shown this time and time again. There policy is to vote against anything anyone else proposes and then spend large amounts of time on television telling you who to fear. Name one meaningful piece of policy and legislation they have moved forward recently.
