lol he acted like a human being, and kamala told the same speech 23 times and did 3 interviews.
Also take 2 shots at the man & give him multiple felonies and act surprised when he wins the black male vote? Damn wonder why the black men could connect more with someone with a rapper backstory than Kamala.
I swear she was like a ghost, combine that with the news media shilling 24/7. People are tired of the shilling from the media.
Dude the anchor of MSNBC called him Hitler on air and showed pictures of Hitler and Mussolini.
It’s so blatant i can’t even trust any of there reporting, because they so clearly have a bias.
Hmmm do I want to watch JD Vance shoot the shit with Theo von or do I wanna watch a scripted interview with softball questions.
Questions be like Kamala why are you so great all the time?
Meanwhile Theo von and JD Vance are talking about the opioid crisis and how you can’t even do cocaine anymore.
Trump won the youth vote simply because young people don’t watch the news at all.

Various_Search_9096@reddit
black men did not vote for trump? What are you waffling weirdo
The_Eevee_Man@reddit
This took one google search. Trump got roughly 16% of black votes, which while not a lot is not insignificant either. We really need to get rid of this narrative that only out of touch white men voted for Trump.

Various_Search_9096@reddit
Are you expecting that number to 0%? It was white ppl and latinos who overwhelmingly voted Trump
Blaming black people when they are the demographic that most voted for Kamala makes no sense
The_Eevee_Man@reddit
In 2016, Trump only got 6% of black voters. He almost fucking tripled that this election. No matter what way you look at it, he demonstrably became more popular among the black community.
Various_Search_9096@reddit
fair enough. Clearly democrats aren't as appealing to minorities anymore. Their direction has to change

geoff1036@reddit
I don't know why the hell y'all keep bringing this up when all we were doing was HOPING our candidate won, in admittedly biased forums, but what forum ISN'T partisan one way or the other these days?
But then compare that to ACTIVELY RAIDING THE CAPITAL when they lose. Like, how quickly y'all forget what embarrassments you have been.
The fact that the best diss y'all have been able to come up with is effectively
"Ha! We sure got you! We're even more brainwashed than you thought!"
And even then you were only helped by half of our party sitting the fuck out.
CulturalZombie795@reddit
We're in 2024 hun. Capital attack is long in the past. We're worried about inflation, the economy, global wars, all of which started under Biden's rule.
geoff1036@reddit
If you understood anything about the time scale of politics and the economy then you'd understand that many if not all of those issues were worsened by Trump and then handed to Biden to fix.
And if we're gonna base our entire nation off of a piece of paper from 1787 then referencing an event that was heralded by the exact candidate that was just elected and which happened in the last decade doesn't seem to be too much of a stretch.
What's the phrase? "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it?" Not like that could have any value or anything.
CulturalZombie795@reddit
The majority of voters seem to disagree with your opinion.
Popular vote AND Electoral college baby :)
geoff1036@reddit
What we just learned is that the majority of voters don't have a good grasp of the government and media, are willing to be deceived, and you're proud to be one of them 😂
CulturalZombie795@reddit
Keep it up man. I hope you never change. I hope reddit never changes, so we can see those same crying faces in the democrat convention again on Nov 5th, 2028 ;)
Props to you!
geoff1036@reddit
See, all you do is "le cope and seethe" and then bow out.
Just like the man of the hour you have no concern for any of the topics actually at hand and are just interested in trolling.
It's gonna be bittersweet when we're all paying higher prices for everything if Trump's tariffs pass. But then y'all would figure out a way to blame us for that too.
It's hilariously easy to see into the cult when you're outside of it. Party and election aside, having so much of the government in the hands of any one man at a time is exactly the opposite of what the founding fathers wanted.
_lvlsd@reddit

jprogarn@reddit
Politics was wild election night. The only visible posts were all Dem victories - silence on any R wins, “prediction” maps of Kamala victory, etc.

Trikids@reddit
“Despite economy and border sec being more important”
Both of those things were covered by the Harris campaign.
Construction of the border wall was to be resumed, and the 1% were going to be paying a lot more in taxes, as they should.
fuckbutton@reddit
"being more important to a wider portion of the population"
Don't truncate my comment to better serve your argument. Both of those things were covered by the Harris campaign, but they were overshadowed by reproductive rights, which imo are pretty fuckin important, but unfortunately the wider population doesn't actually care if women have to carry children they cannot provide for, or even want, to term.
They care about what they fear and they fear growing prices with stagnating wages, and "illegitimate" asylum seekers (aka economic migrants) further diluting the working population and effectively driving down wages. Do I think they're right to fear these things? No, I think it's fucking dumb, but who am I to discredit how these people feel? Who are the dems to discredit how these people feel?
The dems fucked it by not enforcing Biden's promise to be a one term president, and further fucked it by not taking the temperature of the American voting public by having a primary after he dropped out at the last minute.
If dems wanted to win in 2016 and 2024 they would have gone with the candidate selected via a primary, not by anointing someone who party insiders liked.

Not disagreeing with you, but people are going to be in for a major surprise once they learn what tariffs are.
fuckbutton@reddit
I totally agree, the average person truly does not understand the vagaries of large scale economic shifts either and thus don't recognise that the suffering they experienced in the Biden economy was a result of Trump's poor performance on the economy. Just the same as they don't recognise that what they perceive as Trump's good performance in the economy is a result of him inheriting Obama's well-rounded and decently performing economy.
We can't expect people who are comparatively disengaged from politics to be able to see that these shifts take years to come fully into effect. The last 8 years have been full of piss-poor messaging from dems and they have reaped what they have sown. Not adequately engaging with young men will go down as one of the worst political decisions in the last 50 years. As is not offering a viable alternative to combat increasing tension and outright violence in the middle east.
ProfessorSmorgneine@reddit
Well put.
Trikids@reddit
I didn’t truncate your comment, I paraphrased because Reddit was making me restart the comment every time I double checked the wording.
If you look at my comment history all I’ve been saying is that dems lost because our party disgraced us with moronic decisions, but to say that the economy and border security weren’t discussed is disingenuous. An economy that allows the working class to survive has always been a major talking point of democratic candidates for as long as I can remember, and they absolutely discussed border security during the campaign.
deepspacecat@reddit (OP)
Could it be that America is Misogynistic and Racist? Blimey
I'm ready for the downvotes and B&
NorseHighlander@reddit
The notion that Americans are too racist for a black president loses teeth considering we recently had a black man for two terms.
A person's gender may have an impact, but it is even more important that they are likeable. A person who got 4% of the primary vote from her own party only to get foisted on the constituency four years later anyway is not what I would call a likeable person.
Brilliant-Mountain57@reddit
Trump is literally just a better actor, that's all there is to it. Kamala isn't charismatic like Obama was, neither was Hilary. If you want to hold office, you've gotta put on a really good show and trump was doing that all over.
dirschau@reddit
Sooooo... If an old white guy with no charisma or stsge presence beat trump, but two women couldn't...
It might be misogyny after all
The_Chungunist@reddit
No, it was just that Trump got caught up on COVID ans people were voting against his incompetent handling of the Crisis, and the election was still won by a razor think edge even with that. If COVID hadn'd happened Biden would have almost certainly lost.
karateema@reddit
Biden won because Trump did a disaster with the pandemic in 2020 and a lot of people who wouldn't have ledt the house to vote had the chance to do so by mail
SpaceSick@reddit
Harris and Clinton were both terrible candidates that offered nothing other than being a part of the establishment. Zero likability.
Also the pandemic probably won the election of ol Joe.
Unglazed1836@reddit
Or, and hear me out, they just happen to run some of the most unlikeable women in existence. Both Hillary & Kamala are unbearable. Bill doesn’t even like Hillary.
dirschau@reddit
Uh huh, uh huh.
Counterpoint: they run against trump. So we're weighing "unlikeable" versus "one of the most repulsive scumbags to walk god's green earth". Just even pretending like "oh she's unlikeable" FOR A SECOND TIME is even a valid comparison between them is insulting.
Not to forget that Biden, humsn equivalent of undercooked toast, beat him.
It's misogyny.
WhenceYeCame@reddit
"one of the most repulsive scumbags to walk god's green earth"
He's completely unlikable when you pay attention, and when you know his history, and when you keep track of his contradictions, and when you know all his excuses are bullshit.
Without that, it's obvious that people get rude but charismatic straight-shooter vibes from him. Its the dumbest time to assert that no one likes him.
I think the big thing about Kamala people are missing is that voters weren't given the choice to choose her in primaries. When you skip a step in the democratic process like that, you lose a connection to your base.
DoggoKing4937@reddit
The one thing that saves him is that 99% of his supporters have lettuce for brains and couldn't distinguish a banana from a gun if the gun had the word "gun" written on it in big, bright red letters, and the banana was a banana split.
The facts don't matter when your entire fanbase has two braincells fighting for third place.
DinoBirdsBoi@reddit
this is a perspective from a leftist kid who lives with a dad that voted republican
i dont think this loss was due to misogyny
well, to some extent, yes, but i will bet that the extent to which it affected the election was very small
first of all, voter turnout on the democratic side dropped significantly this year, and although i do acknowledge that misogyny can cause democrats to not vote, it dropped from 81 mil to 67 mil-too much for me to believe it is due to misogyny
its more likely that the republican tactic of attacking harris/biden's lack of action worked well on left leaning people
second of all, although we see MAGA republicans as "the" republicans, that's really blinded us to, ya know, regular-ass republicans, and i think it may have driven away centrist voters, because a centrist is going to see the left media and their first thought is going to be, "that's not them, what are they saying?"
you may argue it is the same for the right against the left, but the difference is that usually articles discussing MAGA can't point to a certain scapegoat, while republicans were able to point to BLM and scapegoat that for their purposes, making their stance stronger
this is especially true for my dad, since we had to drive through portland when all their glass was covered up with boards and tape
finally, the democratic loss was due to the discussion on social issues. i strongly believe that the greatest mistake of this election was turning social issues, such as abortion, into one of the "big" things they were discussing. it just doesn't have any weight for people who aren't directly affected at it and aren't exposed to the need for that status quo to change.
laws are written in blood, and blood hasn't reached the centrists, which is why i think pushing that policy doesn't work.
but the voter turnout is definitely the biggest thing at work here, considering the turnout dropped sharply, leading to discussion on the effects of actual policy or swing people/states being more supplementary.
TL;DR democrats lost because their strategy couldnt get votes and their previous actions didnt win votes either
but thats just what i think
idk why i typed out this entire thing ig i just dont like people mischaracterizing losses because then we'll never learn and we'll probably never win
Unglazed1836@reddit
Lmao whatever you say champ
dirschau@reddit
90s called, they want their weak ass comeback
Boopoup@reddit
Tbh the truth is probably a bit of both. They did choose unlikeable woman that turned many people off, but some of those many people would have been turned off no matter who the woman was just because she was a woman, and some of those were turned off by factors that have nothing to do with their gende r
ReallyDumbRedditor@reddit
Michelle Obama would have absolutely had a good shot. She brings good energy when she speaks IMO
bigfanofyourworks@reddit
Unfortunately I think the name Obama is such a meme that she'd always be overshadowed by his legacy. It'd be easy to trot out Thanks Obama with some decade old propaganda and half the US would stick his failings on her because they're stupid as hell.
whousesgmail@reddit
I think even if Biden had his 2020 mental faculties he wasn’t beating Trump this time.
Covid and muh Russia and a deluge of scandals from Trump’s cabinet made him vulnerable in 2020.
The scandals hanging over Trump right now many perceived as political targeting which made them less effective and those old ones didn’t hold water anymore.
Kaiser_Maxtech@reddit
if the position of harris and walz were reversed, itd have been a sweep.
whousesgmail@reddit
Walz is kinda goofy so I doubt it.
“AOC runs a mean pick 6”
If that’s true maybe Dems should’ve ran a primary.
dirschau@reddit
Uh huh, uh huh.
Counterpoint: they run against trump. One of the vilest pieces of shit to ever run for the office.
So, maybe it's just misogyny after all.
chiefoogabooga@reddit
No matter your politics, you have to recognize 2020 as an outlier. We should probably see 2024 as an outlier too, to be fair. Take Covid out of the equation, and either one of those could have turned out totally different.
dirschau@reddit
Honestly, "outliers" are going to be the norm all over the world. Hell, they already are, there was a whole slew of up-to-now surprising elections in the EU too.
Times are changing fast and the initiative is being seized by all sorts of grifters, while the general public hasn't woken up to it yet, lulled into complacency by lack of a serious challenge from proper nut jobs until now.
It's honestly scary how many people look at far right parties and can't hear the dog whistles.
Brilliant-Mountain57@reddit
Yooo you might be onto something. He wins against women and loses against men, I think you genuinely have a point now that I think about it and you point that out.
Yeseylon@reddit
I honestly don't understand this argument. To me, Trump has negative charisma. He rambles incoherently about things like Arnold Palmer's dick, and somehow that means charisma?
karateema@reddit
He used to have charisma, and the people who started following him in 2016 will never change their minds, no matter what he says
in_elation@reddit
Biden just won because everyone hated Trump during his first term
chiefoogabooga@reddit
And half the country was still sitting at home because of Covid.
f0rm4n@reddit
🤓☝️Actually, 15 million people who voted in 2020 haven’t voted in 2024, and Trump’s results stayed largely the same. Considering Trump’s 74 mil turned into ≈73 mil, but Biden’s 81 mil turned into Harris’ ≈68 mil, it’s safe to assume that moderate dems just didn’t come out to vote this time.
ReallyDumbRedditor@reddit
Wrong, it's because the election was stolen.
SpaceSick@reddit
Biden won because of COVID. If that pandemic never happened, Trump would have won again.
paco-ramon@reddit
Obama also made the mistake of mocking and centering the campaign on Trump, is the second time Obama helped Trump to win the White House.
inspectoroverthemine@reddit
Literally 30% of the country lost their mind over a black man being elected. The backlash is what got Trump elected in 2016. Black civil rights is literally two steps forward, on step back for the last 150 years, every milestone is met with instant and severe pushback.

BigWhiteChicano@reddit
I mean when you make massively prejudiced statements that encompass an entire country of people, maybe you deserve your downvotes.
Maximillion322@reddit
It’s not “massively prejudiced”
People seriously overreact to being called “racist” or “misogynistic.”
Because the fact is that to be those things doesn’t always mean outright over the top KKK levels of hatred. It’s just enough of a small bias against people in those categories to subtly affect the way you think and act.
Frankly people need to get over being called out for those things. It doesn’t mean you’re a permanently evil villain, it means you have biases. Everybody has biases of some kind or another. That’s why it’s just important to spend a little time thinking about them, not just deflecting because it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Avoiding addressing your mild, benign racism because it makes you uncomfortable is how you slippery slope your way into outright racism. For an example, you can scroll through JK Rowling’s twitter to watch this unfold in real time.
BigWhiteChicano@reddit
So you’re saying that on a deep, subconscious level everyone hates women and minorities? I don’t think so brother, I think it’s much more likely that you’re just an asshole.
Maximillion322@reddit
I’m not saying that at all. Did you read what I wrote at all?
I said everyone has biases.
There’s two major differences between that and the way you rephrased me.
First of all, a bias against something is not at all hate. It is just as simple as being more likely to pick a different option if given the choice. Most white Americans, if given the choice between a white or a black president, would be more likely to choose white. That isn’t hate, it’s just bias. It’s dangerous to ignore that bias because if you deny it and rationalize it enough, the rationalizations can become hate. A lot of hateful behavior stems from denial and defensiveness.
Second of all, I did not say that all biases are against women and minorities. CERTAINLY many are, but not everyone’s biases are the same. Some people do not have racial or gender biases but do have other ones. All of them are important to address, not just those.
So no. That’s not what I was saying at all
BigWhiteChicano@reddit
I never said that I don’t have biases I simply spoke out against the statement that I am racist or misogynist simply by virtue of being an American. No one is ever anything simply because of their nationality, and to say otherwise is an extremely prejudiced statement. And to say that I’m overreacting by defending myself against a prejudiced person makes you, simply put, an ignorant asshole. But by all means please continue to oust yourself as a bigoted fool like your buddy.
Maximillion322@reddit
Do you not understand how population statistics work? Most Americans speak English, but that doesn’t mean that every person who happens to be American definitely does. Same with racial bias.
BigWhiteChicano@reddit
Ah yes, I’m being defensive because someone called me a racist woman-hater because of my nationality. You really are a goofy goober.
BigWhiteChicano@reddit
Once again, that is a huge generalization. You are speaking as if you personally know the millions of people to whom you’re referring when in fact the only thing you know are your own biases. Take a big step back and realize how arrogant it is to feel that you’re qualified to speak for an entire population of humans.
Maximillion322@reddit
You don’t have to personally know anyone to know that all human brains have biases built into them. It’s just biological fact.
SpaceSick@reddit
Putting up two absolutely dog shit candidates that are both condescending and smug as fuck while having no policy other than "we support the status quo" while everyone is wildly unhappy doesn't mean that America is misogynistic. It means that they need to put up better candidates.
Kamala was never popular ever. No one wanted her. She was so unpopular in the 2020 primary that she dropped out before any votes were cast.
She was a terrible choice from the beginning. Plus we didn't even get to have a primary.
IkuX2@reddit
How does Kamala lose automatically mean america is racist? Why cope so hard bro lmao
GwornoGiowovanna@reddit

They only ran Hillary after some primary Chicanery that ousted Bernie. They only ran Kamala after some Primary chicanery that forced Kamala.

The problem is that America is deeply misogynistic and refuses to admit it.
Ka-Ne-Ha-Ne-Daaaa@reddit
Republicans would absolutely have voted for Consoleezza Rice if she had been given the nod
Def some dudes out there who would admit they didn’t vote for Kamala, in part, because she’s a woman, but generalizing it to “everyone who didn’t vote for her is a misogynist” is the exact kind of rhetoric that turned people off from coming over to the Dems side
If you want them to win, stop doing it.

Light pink or creamy some times, it depends. Trump is in the range of orange for example

They need to try the tried and tested strat of running a white dude for office with a name like james , john , andrew , bill etc.

Truth be told, as much as I wanted Kamala to win, there was always a smaller voice in my head telling me that she wouldn't.
And this isn't like me trying to cope or anything like that.
It's just that as I grew up, I just became incredibly more cynical over time, where I'm at a point where even if she did somehow win, nothing would matter, and it will still be the same regardless of the presidential outcome.
I guess it's going to be a bumpy ride for the next 4 years, but it looks like we're all have to endure until then.
I'll see you all here in about 4 years if the country is still around by 2028.

If Kamala did dumb shit to fire back at Trump's McDonalds and Garbage Truck antics, maybe she would have fared better.

Hillary likely did more damage to Harris really.

They need to try the old tried and tested strat of running with a old white guy with name like andrew bill james john joe etc.

Hillary Clinton was very impressive in a lot of ways. Kamala is no Hillary Clinton.

all they had to do was start their presentation more than a month before it was due and select a non-dementia riddled white guy in his 50s
