    Or maybe, just maybe, Harris campaign was shit and she lost to the jackass due to her sheer incompetence?

      No, I don’t think that’s the case here. I’ve been both right and now left in America over the years and she ran an objectively great campaign relative to the surrounding variables (short time, recovering economy and poor approval rating of Biden, and all the other things I mentioned that you ignored).

      I mean, was she my ideal pick? Nah. But she was obviously better than Trump and ilk in every single way, if you ascended above the right-wing propaganda I mentioned.

        To me it looked like the plan was to let cancer sick Biden run with Harris as Vice president who would later take the office due to Biden health issues.

        I think that was her dogshit strategy. It didn’t work.

        And campaign itself was bad too. One of biggest fails was not appearing on Joe Rogan show - Rogan asked both candidates for interview. Trump appeared and scored like 50million views. Kamala just dropped the ball on this.

          Why do you assume that was her strategy?

          Personally, I put a lot of blame on Biden. He could’ve committed to one term, but admitted he later changed his mind.

          Joe Rogan had a huge part to play in that, by the way. He determined the schedule and refused to meet her half-way during the blitz of a campaign she had to do. Have you ever tried to schedule a meeting with someone who doesn’t actually want to meet with you? It’s easy to blow people off.

          Yes, I think Harris made some errors, but really no major blunders relative to incessant scandals from Trump. It was one of the cleanest runs I’ve seen since Obama’s 2008 probably.

          But that’s just it now, isn’t it? That Harris needed to run a FLAWLESS campaign and do EVERYTHING right, while Trump can just trip and stumble, lie, cheat, steal, rape his way just fine.

          … All because the Republican propaganda machine is very, very strong.
