[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn't the most enthusiastic supporter of Kamala Harris.  [b]Thought she was a lightweight who refused to take clear stands on some of the important issues of the day.[/b]

But I voted for her because I thought she was fundamentally decent, willing to surround herself with smart people, and smart enough to listen to them when she knew they had more expertise than she did.

I am so glad I went ahead and did that, despite my reservations.  If I had voted for Trump, only to watch him destroy the American economy and so many people's lives in such a short period (aided and abetted by unelected circus freaks like Musk), I would seriously be considering ending it all now.  As it stands, it's going to take a lot of endurance to survive the havoc he is wreaking, but at least some of us are not totally consumed with regret for having voted for this idiot.  As for those of you who did, I hope you fully embraced the utter nihilism of it all before you voted for him.  [/quote]

I appreciate that you still voted for her. That said, I literally do not know how you can hold this view. Her platform was very clear. She has worked her way up in the legal and political field. She is smart, well-spoken. And yet this was your takeaway??

Women in this country are judged more harshly than men. And I really think no woman, of any experience or intelligence or work ethic, would be enough for Americans. [/quote]

I’m the PP moderate Democrat who knew Harris would lose. You are one the Democratic cultists I am angry with.

Look at videos of Harris. Really look at them, and not just cherry-picked ones. She wasn’t seen as a lightweight because of her (largely unknown) policy positions, she was seen as a lightweight because she could not communicate clearly when it mattered.

Probably the worst moment of the campaign was when she was on the View and when given the chance in a super friendly environment, she could not distance herself from Biden at all. She could not come up with a single critical position, a single word to distance herself from a monumentally unpopular president that most of the country thought was braindead by that point. That is definitionally lightweight. How could it be anything else but?

How can someone who cannot articulate her own positions even when given the most friendly of audiences go face to face with Putin? With Xi? It was an impossibility, of course, and only Democratic cult members refused to see it. Everyone else did see it. And Trump, probably one of the worst candidates we’ve ever seen, won as a result. [/quote] 
While Trump was so erudite in articulating how he would better all Americans, and who’s doing such a bang-up job on the world stage right now, amirite? Hypocrites like you are the worst.[/quote]

Oh for God’s sake. Trump is awful. I believe I made that extremely clear. But Trump being awful, truly and horrifically awful, did not magically make Harris a good, heavyweight candidate. Leave the freaking cult!! [/quote]

All true but none of this was the fault of Harris or the folks that had no choice but to vote for her in 2024. What was Harris supposed to do? Say "no" to being the last minute replacement of Biden as the 2024 nominee? Biden being an unfit and unpopular incumbent seeking a second POTUS term up until 3 months prior to the election put the Dem party in a compromised position.

Harris never claimed to be God's gift to the American people as the Dem nominee. She knew her limitations. She campaigned her tail off, kicked Trump's butt in their one debate, and did all she could help the party rebound from the Biden 2024 campaign debacle. Blame Biden and those who were responsible for securing his nomination in 2020. Harris and her 2024 voters aren't the reason Trump was elected to a second term.[/quote]

Yes, Harris in fact should have said no. She did not know her limitations whatsoever: if she had, she would have stepped aside. Biden is of course at fault, but Harris is as well.

Her voters are not at fault. They tried to stop a disaster by voting for her. [/quote]
