She is a fraud
The only people who would say she is good at this point are the hard left wing of the Dem party, and Trump haters who can’t differentiate those feelings from support for whomever is running against Trump.
+100
She has never had an original thought or idea. Her campaign was entirely “Trump bad,” and “abortion good,” and it’s not like she’s the first to come up with those doozy’s.
Other than vague BS like saying she’s accomplished, or the first black this or first woman that, can anyone name a specific thing that she should be proud of or idea she has had?

I think she is smart and accomplished. But she was not fast on her feet, she gave convoluted answers to simple questions, and she appeared to flip flop on her positions. She struggled to articulate a strategy other than Trump is Hitler, vote for me, I'm not Hitler. And the pro-abortion ads likely turned off some people. I don't think she was a bad candidate, but she struggled to separate herself from Biden and communicate her policies and positions. Trump won, not because he was the better candidate, but he made a compelling case to people who either liked him or were on the fence.

I voted for Kamala. To me, she was the only acceptable choice, but there were definitely issues with her candidacy:
1. Most believe she wouldn’t have won if there was a primary, so she’s not the candidate who “deserves” or is most qualified to be president
2. No one knew what she did as VP, except as “border czar”. I don’t believe the border mess was her fault, but perceptions matter
3. She never disassociated herself with Biden or made clear how her policies would be different than his. When his approval ratings are so low, that’s bound to be a problem
4. She was not convincing that she could address economic/inflation issue. To me, this is the most unfair one; she had a much more comprehensive proposal than Trump did, but again, perceptions
To be fair, Trump’s campaign was far worse, but these are reasons I think she lost, plus sexism racism

IMO her failure was somewhat not her fault because Biden run again and that set her up for having to jump in in the last moment. But biggest problem is money in politics. Everyone gets into it for grift. Grift is first, winning is the second objective. Her objective was winning, I'm sure, but having short time to manage her campaign lots of grifters took advantage and now they are looking for someone to blame so they can get to grift again next time.
That's not to say grift is only on Dem side, it's far worse on the right and they aren't even bothering to hide it.
You just destroyed your credibility. Obviously a much worse candidate than Obama. I stopped reading here.

Less than 400,000 votes (different in the blue wall states.)
The news media is making it seems like she lost like Carter, mccain, Romney or even Trump lost in 2020.
People just didn’t turn out but not a lot has to change.
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.
The person who doesn’t deserve to be President is the one who had a tantrum over losing the last time.
The libs stole the election and he has the right to be mad about it.

For me, it was more due to inflation. I think people would more likely have voted for her if gas was still under $2.00 and groceries were lower in price etc. Inflation affects the lives of more people than illegal immigration does.

Just like Elizabeth Warren had no chance of winning because she lied about being Naive American. Our country has moved on from liars in politics.
Andrew Yang had no chance because he is 5'7".
Our country wants a tall 6'3, honest leader who made it there based on merit who is for the people not niche issues.
Are you describing Bernie? Because Donald is not that tall. Or honest.

I don’t agree with this. She has to own some of the strategy. She did not want a primary, and she helped design the Michigan strategy. She had her husband there and denied having anyone propalestine speak at the convention. I don’t think the war was an issue in isolation -the war plus the economic piece in concert was. I’m not getting into the weeds on Israel.
Choices. She made choices. Are they not her choices because she’s a woman?

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.
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.
Kemi is conservative and right wing so doubtful anyone on the looney left would be the same
And she’s a powerhouse. She speaks her truth, she is forceful, she is proud of who she is, and she is unapologetic. I think Kemi could win in the US, let alone the UK. A woman like her will be president some day.

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.
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.
Who is the one who cried when he lost in 2020? Who accepted defeat gracefully?
You won. Congrats. Now don't come crying when he becomes dictator for life. Or there is another pandemic. Or we have no clean air or water.
