The Michigan loser endorsed the victor, then went to Israel to complain about El-Sayed’s ‘poisonous’ approach, and said she doesn’t know ‘what Bernie Sanders has done for peace in the Middle East.’
Hillary Clinton is a great woman who has done a lot of good in this world, but matured into and mastered a political landscape that underwent massive change as she ran for president. So all the things she had to do to overcome the still ingrained sexism in our political system, like appearing tough by being somewhat hawkish and not taking big swings because you could be accused of being emotional, etc…, — just didn’t work anymore. If she could have just let her guard down and dropped the politician speak and dumped the political consultants I think she would have beaten Trump. And if she had been able to get a majority in the Congress I’m convinced she would have signed Medicare For All into law. She just wasn’t convinced she could spend her own political capital to push for it and be successful.
For decades, people became more and more disenchanted with politicians because of their ever calculating, triangulating speech which comes off as manipulative and inauthentic. And then when a rich opinionated idiot with no filter came along many people conflated his audacity and loutish behavior with authenticity.
A growing number of voters are becoming more sophisticated and the old ways don’t cut it anymore. The El Sayed win is a great example of this. In order to win today you need to demonstrate authenticity, expertise and enthusiasm. Clinton had the expertise and the enthusiasm, but she always came off as cold, even though she’s a lovely person. It’s interesting that Bill seems more authentic and approachable, but he’s the real bastard in that couple.
This is my take as well. Harris could probably have been saved with some authenticity. I watched her die a little inside when she felt she had to smile and say she couldn’t think of a thing she’dve done differently from Biden.
Times change. I just wish the dem bench was deeper so that it could adapt better
Harris was an absolute non-factor. The election was entirely Trump vs Biden. There is nothing she could have done to make up for Biden being an even bigger war criminal than Trump.
What most people don’t understand about the 2024 election is that Harris was the only one who could have legally taken over the ticket without resetting the funding to 0 dollars. Harris was also hamstrung by the Biden team who insisted that she not deviate from Biden’s policies in any way.
Women have it tough in politics, AOC makes it seem easy, but it’s not easy by any stretch.
No Biden motherfucker KNEW he had terminal cancer and still ran for president.
If he would step aside held a primary I believe whoever won that would had a better chance of winning.
Of course nothing would help fact that we know that Elon rig the machines in key states.
Regardless I voted for Harris because I am not crazy! But I understood how a lot of people didn’t like not getting a choice and saying fuck it.
Which sucks because I remember Trump term and could not Phantom why they would risk that happening for second time. But I sympathize with all those fools!
