Did you really think Kamala would win? Deep down inside, did you?

But what really stands out is: how could anyone vote for trump because of how terrible he is??

Didn’t people know about the things he’s said?

You should have at least read the NYT. You were in a total liberal bubble that was promoting Harris.

No because this is America

But, even if you gave her credit for being qualified due to experience, I knew we would not select a woman over a white man even after after all he did/has done. Trump has managed to get a pass on all the vile language, behaviour, being a felon, failed business person and trying to overthrow our government and they all act like its a nothing burger. We could never run a candidate with this many flaws on the Dem side and fall all over ourselves to vote for them. Can't make this $hit up.

We need to stop running woman though because they are simply not electable at this moment in time regardless of how experienced they are.

Kamala had a better resume than Obama ran. How is that not sexist?

As Hillary Clinton proved, resumes are meaningless. To get the presidency you have to appeal to voters. Harris was uncomfortable and she telegraphed that to voters. The worst thing you can do is show a lack of confidence and that is what she did.

That’s fair, but man do I love Hillary. She is brilliant, a total boss and a complete policy nerd. She would have been a fantastic president. I also love Joe Biden for his character.

And while I never would have voted for Kamala in a primary (I respect her but don’t think she stands out in any particular presidential way), she ran an excellent campaign given the strong currents against her. Props to her. I don’t remotely blame this on her. Maybe on Nancy pelosi, who pushed Biden out.

Why I lost? I just said I lean conservative even though I voted against Trump. I also didn't say I thought all Latino's were the same, though I did mistakenly assume a majority would vote to protect friends, family, neighbors, etc. But, I'm not in that community and I'm also not a political strategist so it isn't my job to know. Just made an incorrect assumption. Not sure why you feel the need to throw names around.

NP. I think this PP you are responding to has been stating this repeatedly on multiple threads, because while you might have said it once, we all have seen it said multiple times.

Most importantly of what the PP said is that the Latino men who voted are legal, either from having been in the US for generations (parts of the current US used to be New Spain and then Mexico, so these people's ancestors easily could have been here since the late 1600s) or went through the process of becoming legal. You can't lump these men in with migrants who have cheated to get into the US.

Basically, you and many others, have hit a nerve with your own basically racist assumptions.

Looks like Indian and biracial women do not support Indian and biracial women.

Will you people stop with thw identity politics? This is why you continue to lose. Find a candidate with policies and ideas, like Obama. I voted for Nikki Haley in the primary and Trump in the election. I voted on policy, not looks or personality. I voted my wallet and safety (border). I will never ever vote for Michelle Obama and I will not vote for Pete Butigeig. Pick the best person instead of the one that checks superficial boxes. Pick someone normal who can put together a coherent sentence without having to memorize canned talking points.

I really did. And the reason I did was bc of January 6th. I never dreamed that man could be elected again after that.

Why her advisors insisted on limiting her exposure and keeping her away from cameras like they did except for a few curated (and disastrous) appearances, I’ll never understand.

Because Wednesday Kamala was a refreshing change. She was carefree. Stress free. She didn’t speak haltingly, walking on eggshells. That Kamala would’ve won.

I’m glad she listened to her advisors. But I’m also sad for her, that we didn’t see her “real” self, until Wednesday.

Such is life.

What?? She spoken throughout as genuinely as you claim she did on Wednesday. She definitely did run an amazing campaign. Just say it, most people are racist and sexist. They couldn't elect HRC one of the most qualified candidates ever.

Aka I need a white man to say the words. And being a convicted felon, rapist is totally normal too. So don't worry that either

Not exactly. They’re only meaningless for women. Also, I disagree with you on her confidence level, but how would explain Hillary then? She had no shortage of confidence. (Please, dear lord, do not tell me her problem was overconfidence.)

I was the opposite. Seeing he got away with attempted murder and setting off a mob like Mao, I thought US went beyond crazy.

You do know "she came from a middle-class background" right?

I thought she would win but it would be close. I had no idea she would lose every swing state. Trump is just so vile. I've literally brought up the false claims of election fraud and inciting a mob to invade the Capitol and I get laugh emojis. People think challenging our democracy is funny. The MAGAS duped America into believing the covid inflation was "Biden's" inflation. They told exaggerated stories of migrants receiving $15,000 debit cards and lied about Haitians eating pets. They fed into the country's racism, xenophobia, and transphobia. Half the country has forgotten the mess Trump left and blames Biden. All of this baggage and they passed over Kamala because they was no primary, she wasn't charismatic, etc. Apparently Hillary had too much baggage in 2016, it's all BS.

I voted for Harris, but after that photo came out of Trump raising his fist in the air immediately after getting shot, I knew deep down nobody was beating him. Again I don't like him and didn't vote for him either time, but man, he is just... unsinkable.

I think he is a political genius but dangerous. I am not too upset with him, more with the hypercritical "christian" voters.
