Seeing 10M less Democrats vote when the Republican numbers were about the same was the biggest gut check I had. People would rather just not vote, than vote for a half black woman. That was really sad. And don’t anyone dare tell me it was about Gaza, that’s just a load of BS.
Kamala Harris did not lose because she's not a white man and perpetuating that myth is not helping.
She lost because she didn't speak to the working class.
She didn't lay out any plans nor promise any relief to the millions of people struggling.
She said she wouldn't do anything different than Biden with Palestine.
She parading around a Republican and tried to draw in the non-existent middle voter.
She promised more of the same when "the same" already wasn't good enough.
Was she the better choice? Absolutely. Did she lose because she's not a white man? FUCK NO and parroting that bullshit excuse is just distracting from the issues that actually need fixing.
She also lost because she's not a man. And she also lost because she's not white. You're deluding yourself if you don't think race and gender had an influence in the election.
If being a woman's all it takes not to vote for her then how come she lost Michigan which has a woman governor?
