Like Biden’s and Trump’s first (1996 and 2012) attempts at running primary campaigns, they weren’t very well organized. All three of them learned through experience though. But at the end of the day democrats in 2020 didn’t want to vote for a black woman while there were white male alternatives.
You can believe that, it’s your right, but many believe, like I do, that she was an awful candidate. This was shown in the primary and general election. Very poor. The Dems have much better but we’re stuck with her and did the best they could. It’s a lot like playing poker and being delt a bad hand. Really not much you can do….
She ran a great campaign though. With an incumbent President who was unpopular because of the remains of inflation. In a very short space of time. 3 months was it? She helped down ballot races which Biden would have tanked. In the end she lost by about 1.5 % with swing voters. So, what’s that, a few hundred thousand. Simply being a black woman running against a white man is worth 1.5 %. If Shapiro would have run he would have lost too for being Jewish. Unless you are a white Christian male you are going to lose votes.
Democrats big mistake perhaps was to assume that voters are virtuous. They are not. Neither Democrats nor Republicans. You selected a convicted felon (indicted by several independent grand jury’s and then an independent jury) over a black woman. Right? For you Harris was a bigger issue than a criminal. That’s what democrats need to figure out how to overcome.
No, I’m 100% against the killing of innocent babies!
Say what you want about President Trump but no one, not one president in history has done more for the sanctity of life than President Trump. Period. 3 conservatives on the high court and maybe 2 or 3 in this next term! President Trump will have a lasting impact on our great country many many years after he leaves office!
Relegating the life of a woman below that of a fetus is always going to be a problem. It’s not acceptable. It’s not the 10th century. Republicans aren’t going to be in power forever, and it’s likely Roe will be restored eventually. Meanwhile the states, even red states seem to be protecting abortion rights in the meantime.
The idea that the presidential election was decided by a few thousand swing voters who were racist misogynists is a powerful one. Black women candidates are going to lose more votes here when competing with a white man. 1.5% isn’t much. If Democrats policies were as disliked as right wing commentators say, they would have lost more congressional seats. For me that’s justification for my racist misogyny theory.
As for the next 4 years, Trump should choose more Marco Rubio’s and less Kash Patel’s if he wants to get anything done. There are midterm elections in two years and any incompetent leadership will hand these to Democrats.
Don’t forget the price of eggs and home mortgages are too high. If these remain so, Republicans will lose in election contests going forward.
Incorrect. Harris was a candidate in the 2020 primaries where she tanked. How do you not know this? If we are blaming racism and sexism for her poor performance in 2024, did she face the same discrimination by democrats in 2020?
She dropped out of the primaries in December 2019 before a single primary vote was cast in the 2020 primary election. Look it up instead of just making up "stuff."
Much like her 2024 campaign, Harris ended her campaign due to a lack of funds. Since you are fond of playing games, she obviously was on a ballot because Biden announced her as his VP candidate prior to the convention. If she did worse than 6th place (she did receive votes), I will return to my question on whether her poor performance was a result of racism and sexism by Democrats?
So it was not racism or sexism which led her to end her campaign for 2020, but if she didn’t win in 2024 it is due to racism and sexism. Ironically, CNN’s 2019 report on how a national candidate performed so bad sounds like 2024 “ Harris' abrupt decision on Tuesday makes the senator the most high-profile candidate to date to drop out of the race to challenge President Donald Trump, and is the culmination of months of disjointed messaging, contentious infighting among top aides and severe money issues that plagued the campaign.”
Yup, found it! Took a moment cuz I had to wade through the 300 responses from yesterday when people were trying to justify this obscene pardon. Answered your question fully. Never one to back down and certainly not a coward.
Unfortunately, no known cure for TDS, it’s gonna be a very long and difficult 4 years for you but hey you can exercise your right to vote again when Trump II is over! 😎
LOL ok yep you never answered. Thank you for confirming you are a coward and simply being a troll on here. Hope you find more meaning in your life someday.
You May believe that Dem talking point and spout it all you want but you are really living in some delusional fantasy land if you subscribe to that kind of nonsense
Harris/Waltz terrible ticket.
JB administration put this terrible ticket in a horrible situation.
Turnout reflects that.
If the 2024 electorate was the “test” and the 2020 DNC was the “control”, she performed equally bad.

What is your theory on why Harris performed so poorly in 2020 among Democrats?
She was not on any primary ballot in 2020.
Incorrect. Harris was a candidate in the 2020 primaries where she tanked. How do you not know this? If we are blaming racism and sexism for her poor performance in 2024, did she face the same discrimination by democrats in 2020?

Harris ended her 2020 primary campaign BEFORE a single primary vote was cast.
She was not well known nationally and all the campaign funding went to other better known people, as there were 12 other democratic cadidates..
She dropped out of the primaries in Decemmber of 2019 which was BEFORE a single primary vote was cast!
Since then, she ran as VP on the ticket, they won, and she has served 4 years as the VP of the USA.
In her presidential campaign of 2024 she raised 1.4 BILLION dollars in just over 1 month!
A person can be chosen to run as VP without being on any ballot!!
She did not place 6th in the prinaries, SHE WAS NOT ON ANY PRIMARY BALLOT. Look it up already!

Lol. So, you see, or comprehend no difference between a democratic primary, and a general election? Or are you just trolling?
I did! Look it up or ask it again, cuz I don’t recall what you were asking….
Liar. Do you condemn Trump's abuse of office and trying to steal the 2020 election. Answer you coward!
Dutch you are a coward!!!! Answer me coward!!
A coward I am most certainly not
False, you refuse to answer direct questions. You are a coward only here to stir up trouble.
