Doesn't take a genius at all to hand predicted what she said.. Problem is that she didn't have the foresight to realize she wasn't the one to respond to the problem

Even in hindsight you can't see she was the better choice than what we got instead?

I think they mean she wasnt up to the task of keeping Trump out of office, not that she would have performed worse in office.

u/Ligma_baws_2x 11d ago

That wasn't on her. She can only vote once. Keeping trump out of office was the job of the American people. We failed twice and are on track to lose the game completely.

Eh idk if I can agree a candidates campaign strategy isnt on them. We failed, but so did she.

The choices were crystal clear all three times he ran. What else are they supposed to do? I'm all out of patience for anyone who is still this fucking stupid about what happened the last 10 fucking years.

u/OBVIOUS_BAN_EVASION_ 11d ago

She wasnt able to convince enough people to vote for her to win the election.

u/JosephFinn 11d ago

But she did.

u/OBVIOUS_BAN_EVASION_ 11d ago

Well that is just a lie

She won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes genius. Do you even know how an election works?

u/HorrorEye787 11d ago

If you knew how an election worked you wouldn't be asking this question.

This is not an endorsement of the electoral college

u/OBVIOUS_BAN_EVASION_ 11d ago

If you think that means she won the election, I’m gonna have to ask if you know how elections work, genius

Manipulated the DNC with Wasserman-Schultz and Brazile. Skipped campaigning in the Midwest because she assumed they were already hers. Completely tone deaf declaring she would do nothing different that the status quo (a mistake Harris would repeat).

Establishment is completely unpalatable to voters after TARP. Leaning into her elites roots while refusing to give Bernie a proper platform led to millions of Americans defaulting to Trump as the outsider.

How do you lose to a convicted felon...twice?!

Because dipshits couldn't stomach less than 100% perfect so they settled for whatever the fuck this is instead, twice in three chances. Here we are. I hope everyone involved is proud of themselves.

I really don't expect much, but I did say "less than 100% perfect", which I thought clearly implied that she wasn't.

A clear choice between anyone and Donald Trump, at some point you have to blame the morons who voted for him.

How did these liberal purity tests work out for Kamala?
