Why does everyone think Kamala was such a bad candidate?

I love Winsome Sears and want to see her move up in national politics, but I didn’t vote for a sort of blackish / indianish woman because I hate POCs? Got it. Keep doubling down on that mentality PLEASE.

Kamala has performed poorly in every race she has entered. It's baffling that people think she was a great candidate. She's literally never won a primary. She exited the primary in the previous election with her support in the single digits.

Why is she bad? She lacks coherent messages. I have no idea what she stood for. She campaigned on vague issues (helping Americans, protecting abortion, etc) but never made specific policy proposals. When asked, she said she had like 150 pages of policy proposals. Okay, well, want to discuss them with us? Yes, we can go read 150 pages of policy proposals, but how about you give us an elevator pitch? This inability to communicate her ideas- if she had any, I'm not convinced she did- cost her the election.

I don't understand why democrats keep saying she lost due to being a female or black or Indian or whatever. The natural consequence of this kind of logic is that you're talking yourself out of choosing the best candidates. If that's a white man, do it. If it's a black woman, do it. But this obsession with choosing people based on demographics is a loser. You will not win that way.

The day the DNC can find a WOC like Kemi Badenoch, she will win the election. No more rewards for SAHMs whose husband cheated on them or as a sop to the BLM or any "interest" group.

People just didn’t turn out but not a lot has to change.

Fewer than 400,000 votes might as well be fewer then 100 votes. It's about the electoral college until it is changed.

Too many idiots listened to RWNJ propaganda.

But the Democrats are fully pushing this narrative that she was a terrible candidate.

A CNN commentator called her a “true double threat” because she could not effectively answer questions thinking on her feet nor did she prepare for expected questions.

She had a great debate, but then “nothing comes to mind” ended her campaign.

But are there any clips of her fumbling a question? I've never seen any, unless you count her answer to the "What would you have done differently?" question on The View, which I think was a very understable response.

She was asked that question repeatedly and didn’t have even a canned response.

Her CNN town hall was just terrible.

How was it terrible? I saw it and thought it was fine.
I think the fact that Trump wouldn't even show up looked far worse.

That’s great. But your opinion wasn’t shared by the American electorate.

How do you know it wasn't?

She lost the popular vote to Trump. Clearly many people did not get the impression she was qualified for the job.

Kemi is conservative and right wing so doubtful anyone on the looney left would be the same

Nikki Hailey. We would have voted for her. Your complaint has no grounds.

Except you guys didn’t. You picked Trump.

Who is the SAHM whose husband cheated on her who run for president?

+100. You put it very well.

At the end of the day she lost.

Good candidates don’t win elections.

Dukakis in the tank. Gore with his earth tones. Kerry windsurfing. Harris with her “nothing comes to mind”. All of these moments encapsulating why none of those out of touch people deserved to be President.

Could you explain 'good candidates don't win?'

Looks like a typo.

Even Tim Walz thought she was a bad candidate. There are many pix of him at campaign events, standing behind Harris while she speaking. He often had a very worried expression with turned down mouth// almost “hang dog” expression. It did not generate confidence.

Oddly enough, he seemed much more confident when campaigning on his own.

I agree with everything you said here. But the question is, why did she need to say what she would have done differently during Biden's four years, while Trump never needed to say what he would have done differently during his own four years? He has literally given himself 10 out of 10 for some of his weakest moments (his response to the hurricane in Puerto Rico, COVID) and he continues to insist that the J6 rioters were true American patriots. There was a real double standard at work.

I don’t even understand what your concern is. She had a near limitless money pot and lost. One candidate can never run the other’s campaign. Katie Porter can’t be countered with a whiteboarding wonk. You can’t out RN or MPH a Lauren Underwood. You can’t out-hoodie Fetterman.

I’m also a middle-aged comfortable woman who is all in for Democrats only and you, my “kind” confuse me. Are you determined to be a baby forever? There is no double-standard in terms of how a candidate deals: they just keep moving, altering messaging, and closing any gaps where they keep finding they lack voters and support. Dassit and that’s what’s always been it.

So what is your actual observation? Because all it really is at heart is a bunch of mewling. I don’t feel sorry for you or her or any other befuddled crybaby at this point. She failed. She failed! She did not GOTV. She made some poor strategic choices. I feel sorry for my DC and the worst off of us. I don’t feel sorry for this woman. She wanted the brass ring and failed to get it and the polling told her this was gonna happen and she and the staffers who weren’t laid off all knew it and still begged ordinary people for donations. No. Nope. I’m done with feeling sorry for them forever.

Donald had Elon Musk's money.

….and? Can you remind me when it didn’t seem X was providing contributions in kind to Trump? Money in politics is something everyone rolls around like a pig in sh!t excepting Sanders. She didn’t lose because of lack of money.

Keep filling that diaper. What are we even talking about? She lost. She failed. She was tonally off to too many voters who stayed home. Wanna keep crybabying buh buh buh people hurt me and voted at me and I was told I had to send $25 so I did and not fair and Joe needs to resign!

Babies. Babies all the way down. The party elders sh!t themselves just like Trump. And people like you want to whine buhhhbuhhhh Truuump forever. Does that win? She shat the bed and the shift to red is the problem. So let’s fix it. Or we can do your approach.

“All you idiocrats make me mad because I am smarter than you and my girl lost. Trump. Trump. Trump.”

This isn’t fixable because it’s clear in the rear view that winning is less important to democrats than insisting they are better than everyone else. And then being confused as to how that sucks as a strategy.
