    Democracy is dead because America would rather elect a male that jerks off a microphone than a woman.

    Already heard “unlikable” again last night. Right. Fool us once.

      It’s this. America cannot fathom that a well qualified Black woman could be better than the most basic of white men.

      Could you imagine if SHE had sucked off a mic? People already didn’t vote for her because they thought she slept her way to get where she is.

        The party should have recognized this insurmountable weakness, if it even was one, and did what it needed to to win. Whatever you suss out is the lesson from this election is, I just think it’s pitiful they can’t beat the orange turd that just won’t flush.

          It is easy to blame american to not wanting to vote for a women instead of blaming a campaign that ignored key state last time “hillary and Michigan” and a campaign “ignored a key voting issue” for many people.

        Thing is, I’m sure if the only thing different was Walz on top of the ticket and Kamela on the bottom, and the campaign was ran the EXACT same way. Trump would have been defeated in a landslide.

          One of my big hopes was if they won, it’d open us up to a potential Walz presidency in the future. I was all aboard with Kamala herself, but Walz? That’d be sick.
