Their main failure was choosing a half black, half Indian women as their candidate. That in it self is 3 failures. You can have ONE of those things. 2 is highly improbable, 3 is impossible.

This has nothing to do with how I think Harris will perform as president but more to do with how racist and misogynistic this country is.

I truly thing Walz would have done better at the polls.

Her rallies were massive and she was polling 10%+ ahead of Trump when she was seen as progressive.

When she went full blue dog and parroted the same strategy Clinton failed with in 2016, the advantage evaporated and she started polling at or under Trump.

Falsely attributing the failure to misogyny solves nothing.

Rallies don’t turn into voters apparently.

More importantly, they stopped talking about rally size when she went blue dog.

The pictures I’ve seen of both sides’ October rallies looked about the same, very different from her earlier massive rallies.

But if it isn’t the progressives then it must be men’s fault, black people’s fault, Muslim people’s fault while being the fault of racists, misogynists and Islamiaphobes.

Or you could blame the party instead of the voters.

I think you might just be racist and sexist if that’s your immediate thoughts.

Don’t push yours on everyone else.

Trump voters are literally waving Nazi flags and wearing misogynistic shirts.

Explain your logic to me of how you came to the conclusion that someone calling out racism and sexism is actually racist and sexist themselves.

Trump voters were never ever going to vote for Harris or any Democratic candidate. It was pure hubris and Folly to think that they could snag some.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. John Fetterman would have won easily. Americans pick based on appearance.

I’d say they vote based on matching identities “(s)he’s like me”.

Ah yes, another centrist. That will surely work this time.

Centrist is a label based on a candidate’s position on issues.

I claim that doesn’t matter. Image matters.

Fetterman is a large white male that makes Trump look weak. That’s all that matters.
