It’s worse than just having a bad target voter base.After some sleep and reflection, it occurs to me that Harris lost because she ran a campaign exclusively for the one group nobody likes: liberal white women and the simps who would raise their boyfriend's kids (who are a half step from being liberal white women so hard that we'll have to do an estrogen test on them to be sure).
Also, this election should be memorialized as how exactly to do everything wrong. Bad timing, bad messaging, out of touch imaging. Literally everything that could have been done wrong went wrong.
And, for the party that cares about representation, it's hilarious that representation was their downfall. Specifically, when Trump went to McDonald's and did a press conference from a garbage truck. There's no better way to say "I'm with the working people of this country" to contrast the way Kamala surrounded herself with celebrities.
And finally: I think maybe this will finally be the nail in the coffin of identity politics. The most powerful position in the world, and it was elected by working people, not snobby, snotty elites that are for some reason given license to abuse the people who don't fall in line with what their betters have to say.
This election is a game changer on a lot of levels.
Kamala was so unpopular that she was the first to drop out of the race in 2019, then because Joe Biden said he would only pick a black woman as his VP candidate he more or less has no choice but to pick her despite how unpopular she was. I remember many people, many dems hoping it wouldn’t be her and trying their hardest to come up with alternative choices before he finally revealed it was her. That was the first strike.
Then you have the utter trainwreck of their campaign and the fact that she did fuck all for 4 years while Biden was busy having the fastest public mental decline possible. Then, after a horrific debate he gave up and put her as the candidate.
There was no vote. There was no primary, no one was able to campaign. Kamala was plopped down and dems were told they had to vote for her. From day one she was someone nobody wanted, nobody supported, and nobody voted for.
They keep talking about how great her “107 day campaign was.” But nobody acknowledges that 107 days is not enough to convince a nation to elect someone as president.
She showed up to almost no events, the few events she did show up to she relied on others to do the talking for her. She relied heavily on celebrities to be point of causing a crowd in Huston to boo when they found out Beyoncé was not going to sing, she did awful even in the friendliest of interviews and refused to have any long form discussions, she had no actual platform to push or issues to discuss, and her only strategy seemed to be call her opponent Hitler.
You couldn’t have run a worse campaign if you tried.
