    This.

    I know Harris and Clinton are controversial but they were two of the most qualified candidates to ever run, who happen to be women. Yet, somehow, the biggest moron on the planet defeated both of them. That moron only lost to the oldest man to ever take office, up to that point.

      I’ve long held the belief that we’ll get over racism before we get over sexism.

      I will admit there were a lot of things that went into those elections but sexism was definitely one of them.

    Imagine if Biden and the DNC had the brains to back a capable woman with the actual skills to do the job instead of a puppeted genocidal failure who stood for nothing, can barely manage to stumble through a speech, and couldnt lead her way out of a paper bag. There are lots of capable women who can do that job. The DNC screwed everyone with that and we lost to one of the lamest republicans anyone can imagine. The party is ready to implode at this point due to incompetence , spinelessness and bribery by genociders.

      She was still a better pick than the turd in office right now. But Americans are too brainrotted to accept and correct their own failures.

        you keep trying this “lesser of two evils” “lets court the middle” “strategy” and it never works. When will you learn this. Your strategy wont win future election, its practically designed to lose. The last time you tried you eroded the base in every measurable demographic except 1, did you even notice that? If you lose in every demographic with a strategy, how will you ever have the votes to win any election? By making up votes from independents and converting republicans, Schumer famously said. But that keeps being tried and it keeps failing, time after time. Its factually proven to be bad strategy and you have to learn to win. Whats it going to take for you to choose not to lose?

          I don’t want to engage this early as I just woke up; I think a lot of poeple arguing your type of way are paid agents to help corrode western democracy

          But

          Your side seems to omit the fact that the democrats were fighting a systematic takeover of the media to brainwash as many not-as-politically-engaged people as possible. A take over the likes of the US have never seen before and it’s culmination happening with Trump. A campaign to fully take over the US which worked wonders for them.

          The tan suit and spicy mustard debacle actually riled people up because certain media was running it constantly. Media that was brainwashing millions to hate democrats for every and any little things. Media that planted the idea that thinking like a democrat was any harsh word you didnt want to be associated with.

          So although the lesser of two evils plan was still in effect, the (wayyy) lesser evil wasn’t literally the hate mongering messiah put in place by a decades long plan to overtake the media at its literal peak of execution

            Is this your first encounter with politics or something? There’s no way you actually think this is the first time America of all places has used the media to radicalise its populace.

                Yeah yeah, Trump is special an unique and the world has never seen anything like him before, except like… Nearly every single previous US president. So once again - are you new to American politics, or is your head stuffed so far up your arse you genuinely think any part of this is new or different?

                  So I’m convinced people like you are out here to waste people’s time and energy on comment wars instead of putting that time into doing something actually productive so I’m just going to cut if off here and go help people IRL

                  You’re a loser. Talk to you never!
