I'm sure she would have if she had more campaign time. There were only so many news cycles between when she started and the election and the media did it's usual thing of monopolizing coverage of Trump's insanity (because outrage brings views).
why are there so many delusional Democrats?
It's ok to admit both parties suck. Yes to different degrees, but you don't have to gaslight yourself into thinking Democrats care about you
Looking at the numbers in 4 of the swing states, Kamala got more total votes in 2024 than Biden did in 2020, but so many rural voters just came out and voted for trump and against Kamal, so much so that in quite a few of the races Kamala lost but democrats in congress won their races, despite both running on functionally identical platforms.
Sure Dems generally care less and suck because they don't actually wield power when they have it but at least they're not actively trying to kill the minority populations and drag us into a theocratic oligarchy to fulfill the Book of Revelations prophesies.
I'd fucking love it if both political parties were trying to best represent their constituents. But they aren't, and opining for something that doesn't exist and has never existed isn't going to do us any good. We work with the tools we have and the people we can to make the best of a shit situation. It that means backing dems because they're not actively trying to kill minorities I'm gonna go with that on election day and do what I can to mitigate other kinds of damages.
I mean, I voted for every Dem I could. I voted as hard as I could. But I also think we should ALL be publicly outraged at how bad the two parties are.
So did I and until something like the fall of the Whig party, split of the northern and southern Democrats and rise of progressive Republicans in the mid 1800s happens, we have to make do with what we have at hand.
