I don't think Kamala really had any chance of winning the election.

As someone who has voted Democrat since 1996, my very first time voting, we have no one to point the finger at but ourselves for this one.

America is not ready for a female president.

I mean it only took 230 years to elect a black man.

And look what came. It should have been decades longer

No need to point at anyone. Let’s pray for a peaceful future. Anything can happen.
Mmiker · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard keyword: almost.

That is one way of looking at it. And of course others will argue too.

It feels very rough right now. We can do it. Let’s be here for each other. I need your strength too.
@Mmiker I was strong back in 2016, and hoped for the best. It didn’t come. I’m just angry now.
Mmiker · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard I’m sorry. Hope can come later. Right now it hurts and I’m sorry.

Yup. Completely ignored the key issues of high prices, border, childcare, treason, 34 felony convictions and focused on abortion. How many women over 40 even care? I'm especially amazed how many ethnic groups voted for him even as he insulted and threatened them. I'm scared. And I'm Republican. 🤷🏻‍♂

@Livingwell Women with daughters and granddaughters, nieces and younger sisters would certainly care, I would’ve thought.
@irishmolly72 She was nit far left, and even moved MORE center to try to provide a more welcoming place for a party which IS a big tent party.

I wish you discernment.
The democratic party selected her not the voters who are democrats. They wanted a President they could control, like Biden.
And they accuse the other party of threatening democracy.?
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
Nope but they thought they could sneak her into office by using some super rich celebrities.
NinaCherry · 26-30, F
@nudistsueaz i still wanna know how much Bey got paid to do this
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@NinaCherry Who was paid for what?
NinaCherry · 26-30, F
low key i do think people did not want a woman
@NinaCherry Not even "low key". That’s why they’re taking other rights away from women and girls.

@bijouxbroussard people think steoretypically and they dont equate a female with an iron fist.

I thought she had an alright chance, but I also thought she was running a horrendous campaign. I kept thinking, I wish the Democrats did a legit primary with debates, Harris totally wouldn't have won.

The thing is, the reason Trump won is because of the Incels. And I'm not really sure what the Democrats could have done there. Yeah, they could have reached out to more young men, but like, how? Promise them a state mandated girlfriend?
Just like 2016, they'd rather lose than do anything for progressive people.
Theyitis · 36-40, M
I don’t think a woman couldn’t have won, but Harris probably was a lackluster candidate. I said before Biden dropped out that we needed to choose our candidate through a mini-primary or open convention. I think a generic Democrat not linked to the Biden/Harris administration could have won. Maybe someone like Amy Klobuchar.
@Theyitis Who ?

@tenente Success in CA consisted of keeping her "heels up" in the 1990s.

@Kenworth4954 Nikki Haley would have had a great chance at winning the general election IMHO.

@Livingwell Trump was screaming that Haitians would eat your pets, and his policies are "I have concepts of a plan", and still won.

The Dems could've even resurrected and put JFK on the ballot and the outcome would've been identical. The media would've destroyed any candidate that wasn't Trump: it did it with Biden, it did it with Harris.

Someone here where I live controlled the media and served 5 terms, 20 years, all with democratic and fair elections. Control the media and you get to pick who wins, most American media are owned by (right-wing) billionaires, consequently billionaire-vetted conservative candidates who also happen to run a cult get to win.
@Elessar Yep. So much for that "liberal press" bs the right tries to gaslight the public with. 😒
Elessar · 26-30, M
@bijouxbroussard Every accusation they advance is a confession. That was no exception
