    Why can’t we just blame the idiots who didn’t vote for her? Can’t it be their fault and not some mystery boogeyman behind the curtain that democratic voters are supposed to feel responsible for?

      You people are not owed votes. People vote for things, Harris offered nothing of value. People do not usually vote against things.

      Tens of millions of poor Americans are worse off now than they were under Trump during the height of the pandemic. What was the liberal messaging from the Harris campaign?

      No you’re not, get over it, vote for more of the same economics that have destroyed your last shred of hope for a brighter future.

      That doesn’t resonate with people. Clinton ran a campaign on “I’m not him,” without acknowledging anything americans were suffering through under Obama. Loss

      Biden didn’t run a campaign, but acknowledged people suffering under Trump and under Obama. Win

      Harris ran a campaign on “I’m exactly the last guy and I’m not Trump” without acknowledging the people suffering under Biden’s policy, loss

      People don’t vote against, they vote for, and if you give them no hope things will get better, why would they vote for you?

    It won’t be by voting, that’s for sure.

    I get the feeling she would have won against any other candidate… it is just the people with weird admiration for Trump
