Walz is a completely valid candidate. The only thing that held up Harris was that she was a black woman. I'm confident that any reasonable white man would have beat Trump, and that's unfortunate, but it's the reality of the American electorate
i think it's got a lot more to do with the nonsense she spouted and the massive campaign failure than her being black or a woman.
let's be real. I wanted her to win, i really fucking did. If i was American, i would have voted for her. (You can check my comment history for proof). But the way that the dems are presenting themselves and the whole communities of dems who are saying shit like this is the reason why voters feel alienated and consequently don't vote for your candidates. Every comment like this adds to the alienation of the could-be dem voter. This causes them to not want to be associted with people like you, DrFistington. They don't/won't like you.
Not a lot of people can endure the bs barrage that goes along the lines of "fuck you, white straight man, you are a racist sexist!! 😡 but still vote for our candidate tho please 🥺👉👈" and still vote for the dems! They'll vote against you just to fucking spite you and I'm not surprised that's what lots did in this election.
Dems need to change as people if they want to ever see a dem president ever again. The dem communities need to be welcoming. We're all in this together ffs!
I don't think that's even remotely true. While it is true that the USA has it's fair share of racists and sexists, Hillary won the popular vote, and Obama is one of America's most popular presidents.
Harris lost because she ran a terrible campaign, on the coatails of another terrible campgaign, from a terrible president.
Harris won the popular vote too, they just refused to count it.
