      yea! because it wasn’t betrayal of the left base, and kowtowing to the establishment, or the botched run for president or the scandals. it was because she was a woman, right.

      getting real sick of these garbage people

        America isn’t mature enough to elect a female president

        Add to this at the next election the republicans will have CBS,CNN,Fox, all the social media platforms, all the AI platforms

        It won’t just be this person and their ideas versus the other guys it will be that guy plus social media, AI and the news networks

        It’s almost an impossible task

        America isn’t going to swing from an extreme right wing government to a liberal female democrat no matter how much you want it to or even whether it’s time or whether it’s the right thing

        The goal has to be to win an election

        Or you get four years of Peter theils marionette and palantir running every aspect of the us government

          Bingo.

          The goal has to be to win an election

          Yup. You don’t win elections on idealism alone. If you did, Bernie Sanders would probably be president right now.

          Or you get four years of Peter theils marionette and palantir running every aspect of the us government

          DING DING. There’s WAY too much at stake to keep swinging and missing.

          same thing was said by racists about a black president. turns out if you field a not shit candidate it doesn’t matter. Harris polled to win against trump, so she has the numbers to possibly win by all counts. too bad she snatched failure from the jaws of victory.

          i am so sick of people pretending that the loss was because of the candidates gender when they ran a terrible candidate after dragging their feet on joe biden after knowing he was incompetent, at the fourth quarter, skipping a primary, backing both an unpopular genocide, and pushing connections with the establishment. i don’t think there was much she could have done worse. and yet she almost won.

        If you don’t think a SIGNIFICANT number of people in this country simply won’t vote for a woman, especially in the geographical areas that matter, you don’t understand the country you live in or how presidential elections work.

        Accepting the reality of the nation you live in doesn’t make you a gross pig.

        Wanting a winning strategy because continually losing has gotten us to the point where we’re losing rights and our Constitution has become toilet paper doesn’t make you a gross pig.

        The last two highly qualified women were beaten by a low IQ felon rapist pedo. Trying to elect women to the presidency in this country is a losing strategy and that’s not really up for debate at this point. We aren’t that country yet. Clearly.
