Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    Shortly after becoming candidate, she was asked in an interview if she could think of anything she would have done different than Biden. She replied:

    “There is not a thing that comes to mind… and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact, the work that we have done,”

    I voted for Harris but I think that was a monumental fuckup.

      True, and she never said anything else after that…

        Ok… But that’s not what we are talking about is it? You said the statement ‘and promptly proclaims she can’t name a single policy decision she would have made differently than Biden.’ was “Literally not true”. But it literally is.

        I don’t have the time nor the want to unpack the rest of this clusterfuck campaign.
