The former vice president panned Trump's agenda, saying he pulled America to the brink of a constitutional crisis, devastated the economy and abandoned world allies.
Could she have done better? Maybe.
But I still think her losing had way more to do with more of the country being sexist and racist at heart than we’d like to believe
But imo, a much bigger factor was the fact that she just didn’t bother to meaningfully differentiate herself from Biden much at all. She started to… and then the DNC brain trust and all the political consultants made her pull it all back, and put a muzzle on Walz, who VERY FUCKING CLEARLY had his head on straight in terms of understanding what normal Americans were struggling with. Instead, they decided to chase the mythical “undecided voter”, and succeeded in alienating a shocking quantity of demographics that they should have had in the fucking bag.
When you don’t listen to your fucking constituents, they’re not going to vote for you. It’s not that hard of an equation to solve.
Don’t forget the fabled “swing republicans”.
Look man I think it says a lot that the Cheney’s are as fucking appalled at the idea of fascist America as I am but posting up next to them is the worst fucking thing a Dem can do. EVERY leftist and Democrat alike remembers what Dick is and stands for.
Some of us saw the alternative and did what we had to but goddamn that was a stupid move
Her losing was due to the fact that she was the rightmost candidate the DNC could find in their ranks. People keep saying that Hillary and Kamala lost because they were women. How about we try running women who are at least slightly left of Regan before we say the problem is just that people are sexist.

Doesn’t change the fact that the whole campaign shit the bed in every way possible too
