It was her policy, not her race/gender

We can't afford to keep refusing the same lesson:

Dem voters don't want neoliberalism.

We don't want a pro fracking candidate. We don't want a border wall. We want universal healthcare and to fix our educational and tax system.

She was selling the status quo. Everyone is fucking sick of the status quo. We'll get the change we deserve.

What a pretty world you live in where you genuinely think her sex and skin color didn't play a role.

Are you one of those people that stayed home on this one?

The election is a show for Americans. The citizens have no say.

The people who really matter in that country win either way, that's why there's only 2 chosen people available to vote for. The illusion of free will.

I'm amazed by the Americans. They never seem to understand the underlying reason for a lot of things, I wonder how much longer it'll go on.

Pretty sure it was her policies and pandering to the right.

The dems really thought that refusing to end the war in Gaza wouldn't cost them. They forgot how opinionated and single issue voters can be.

Their target demographic knew exactly what they wanted, but the dems are a captured government so they could never give voters what they wanted. So they lost.

I would've voted kamala if I was a US citizen, but I know many others would've abstained.

I doubt the dems will learn their lesson though.
