  • When I say “other things” I am referring to her far right immigration policy, very pro-police and pro-military rhetoric, and her overall lack of policy that would improve people lives (for example, expanding Medicaid). All she ever talked about was subsidies for first-time homebuyers and small business owners. Both are terrible policy to be campaigning on for obvious reasons.

    Running on the same platform as Biden was a terrible idea, and running on “I’m not Trump” was only ever gonna work once. When it comes to losing Democratic voters, I don’t think being black or a woman had anything to do with it.

    Agreed. Harris lost by more than 7 million votes. Leftists were critical of Kamala because she is pro-Israel, among other things. These “other things” are the reasons most people who abstained from voting didn’t vote for her.

    If Dems wanted to win then they should have had better messaging and policy. Kamala lost because her platform didn’t appeal to most Americans. She never talked about anything that would improve people’s material conditions, and instead tried to appeal to “fallen Republicans”.

    Harris didn’t lose this election because of Gaza. She lost it because she ran a dogshit campaign. Democrats had nothing to be excited for so they didn’t bother voting. People aren’t as motivated to vote when they are merely doing lesser evil voting.

    If only the 7 million leftists in this country had voted for Harris instead of abstaining. /s

    Leftists just pointed out the flaws in Harris’ campaign. Dems ran a shit campaign in an attempt to appeal to “fallen Republicans”.

    You’re welcome to blame leftists for Kamala losing the election. But in doing so you are failing to see why Harris really lost the election. Though I’m sure the Dems will do the same. They learn from nothing.
