Why did Kamala lose ?

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

I don’t know about #7
Michigan went Trump in some respects because of voters who are upset of Gaza being decimated.

Let the liberals name call all they want so they can keep believing that their policies positions were all spot on so they can run on them again in 2026 & 2028.

Another +1 to this. Not b/c I agree, but bc I think it is explanatory.

Do yourself a favor. Go to Baltimore and attend an asylum hearing where they will punt down the calendar 90% of the attendees. Also note that 90%+ of attendees have complete bullshit stories and are not deserving of asylum and instead of able-bodied men trying to game the system. Very frustrating if you are trying to actually help somebody.

Agree.

Also take a morning off and sit in the Grand jury cases in Rockville court course for MoCo.
75% of the cases being put up are with illegals. Not a pretty pattern. Press won’t cover it. Common knowledge amongst police, lawyers, and jurors.

Just like the video of an "migrant" killing and eating a cat, was an American citizen? Most of these undocumented are hard working and law abiding. No stats and the press won't cover it? Sure, Jan.

What the hell are you rambling about?

Kamala is half black and Indian. Obama is half white and black, born in Hawaii, not Kenya. I'll tell you another reason why Kamala lost, too many nutjobs spouting crazy conspiracy theories. MAGA has fully embraced you and your ilk.

No, she's not. Kamala's dad was born in Jamaica; Jamaican nationality is not Black or African race/ethnicity. Her dad is bi-racial wealthy European and high caste Indian.

So she's not Black enough. Got it. If you saw a Jamaican you'd call them black.

So let's go a step further and ask why.
The reason is that Democrats no longer allow the people to choose the candidate.
In 2020, there was initially a wide open primary with many candidates, and then a backroom deal was made where everyone withdrew overnight and pledged their support to Biden.
Then, in 2024, the party elites blocked anyone from challenging Biden, and handed him the nomination again, when he was obviously unfit.
Then, once they realized his unfitness, they forced him out and installed Kamala, again with no input from voters.
In contrast, Trump he has earned every single vote that he has ever gotten. That certainly cannot be said about Biden or Harris.

I don’t think this is why voters opted for Trump.

I think Trump had effectively shut down the border (albeit illegally as determined by litigation) and the Biden administration quickly reopened the border. No clue which voters he was trying to appease with that move.

The influx of immigrants transported to blue cities infuriated most voters.

So did the crime that liberals seemingly defended on mainstream media by saying Fox News and maga idiots were lying about crime and drugs and poop in the streets, etc. That also infuriated voters.

Then the whole bizarre fixation on trans rights pushed most voters over the edge. I think trans rights are important but that means fair treatment not special treatment. When liberals went all in on becoming the language police and saying things like pregnant persons I think that’s when we lost a lot of Dems and independents.

So here we are: Trump won and Congress is solidly Red.

Can we all just admit that our party and our media screwed up by making it look like we took a hard left and landed in crazyland instead of just sticking with “let’s be cool and treat everyone equally” rather than beating up on white cisgender whatever while calling them racists/idiots.

I call BS on the transgender issue. I refuse to believe voters were motivated by fear of a boy being in their daughter's gymnastics class or whatever. Immigration and economy were the hot tickets. I will never understand why right wingers are so fixated on LGBTQIAs, like they shouldn't exist or something.

So strong women like these swimmers from Roanoke college who spoke out against men in women's sports did nothing to move the needle among undecided voters? Or the Italian boxer getting assaulted in the ring during the olympics didn't cause people's jaws to drop? There's a whole conference of women's volleyball teams out west that are forfeiting games. Young ladies and women would rather lose than risk getting injured.

Well said. Thx for reposting this.

It also jives with the BBC this morning interviewing Londoners and they were pleased that Trump had won.
The world needs America to wake up and get back to business. Not men swimmers at Penn, burning cities down for not liking a trial, flipping out that abortions are ruled by state not federal levels, and single-handedly exposing and ruining the Ivy League.

Seriously, find the BBc interviews.

I don’t know about that nor care.

I do care that Georgia Ave and River road street races and shootings are all illegal immigrant Hispanic gangs.

Don’t be oxymoronic.

An illegal immigrant is not “law abiding.”

Furthermore, they are emboldened and have a pattern of breaking the law

Enter illegally
Fraudulent IDs
Don’t use car insurance
SSA and welfare fraud
No show for phony asylum cases
Tax fraud - vastly paid black market cash jobs & remit money south.
ER room usage and never pay/ use false names

No way they lost the popular vote..... No way all of these states about a Democrat on everything but the presidency

[Anonymous]

It’s a shame. I understand why people voted against the status quo. But unfortunately the republicans have no plans to help average people. They never did and they never will. Unfortunately the Dems couldn’t get out of their own way. The Dems actually do have some general ideas on how to help average people but they were too busy insisting that men can give birth and that every 4 year pick their gender off a spectrum. And worst, if u even slightly disagree with them they are extremely condescending and call u racist. So you have the republicans who never play ball on any policies that would help people, and u have the Dems who went too far down a DEI rabbit hole and live in echo chambers where pronouns are the most important thing. I doubt tarriffs, tax cuts for the wealthy, or mass deportations will make the price of goods come down but I guess we’ll see. Oh well!

I think that about covers it.

Harris was elected VP and chosen at the convention. I could fact check the rest of this uninformed rant, but it's not worth it.
