I personally voted Kamala (yes I know and it was a deeply painful decision). Looking back im not quite sure why, she never really had a chance and she certainly wasnt a good candidate. I suppose its because I genuinely don't care about electoral politics. Workers liberation can only come from revolution.
She lost by one of the slimmest popular vote margins in history. But other than that, yeah, are never really had a chance
This was literally the worst electoral map for the Democrats since 1988 when Republicans won Illinois and California.
Republicans love to pretend that where people live changes their value as a person.
Non sequitor. Not what I said and not a Republican.
Campaigns are about winning swing states, those are just the rules of the game. Kamala lost that game worse than any Democrat in nearly 40 years. Maybe the rules we have aren't fair, and if they were different, she would've lost by a smaller margin. But then, both campaigns would've been run completely differently, the same candidates might not have even been the nominees, etc.
By the actual rules of the actual game, Kamala lost extremely badly.
Like it's just republicans.
Talk to a centrist about raising the national minimum wage sometime, and it becomes clear quickly that they don't care at all about raising the minimum wage once their state has done it.
Democrats love to pretend that the popular vote is what wins elections
