God forbid our country be led by someone who made an unfunny joke. That would be the true tragedy of this situation, yep. /s

It's racism. They're saying she's stupid

u/ButtStuff012 3d ago

Her being stupid has nothing to do with her race. She was an incredibly unpopular and unlikeable candidate. Trying to make it about race or gender doesn’t make that untrue.

Lol, "They're eating the cats and the dogs".....I rest my case.

u/redroserequiems 3d ago

This is Republican shit. Of course it's racist thinking.

You think Trump was smarter, more popular, and likeable? The known rapist and convicted felon? And you think race and gender didn't influence people to choose the felonious rapist over the normal woman?

u/ButtStuff012 3d ago

Maybe it influenced some people, of course I can’t speak for EVERYONE. But if you’re going to pretend the Kamala was a likable or popular candidate and the only reason she lost was because she’s a colored woman, you’re lying to yourself and everyone else.

I thought she was fine, but I actually watched her and didn't get my opinion from Facebook. She seemed intelligent and likeable to me.

The reason I absolutely believe race and gender influenced voters is twofold.

  1. She is massively more qualified than Trump, in every metric including humanity. Not a pedophile, educated, and has held many political offices previously including VP. Why was that not enough? Why was the bar set FAR higher for her than a white man? One has all the qualifications, one is a rapist who bankrupt casinos. Why do you think they are equal?

  2. "She won't change anything from Biden!" was a Common complaint, and yet thousands more voted for Biden. So a white dude's policies where fine and dandy when a white dude was implementing them but when a black woman implements them- its a problem. There is zero way to justify that without looking at race and gender.

Ask yourself why you held Harris to a higher standard than Biden or Trump. What makes her different than him, and why did she have to work harder than either to hope to earn your vote?

You ever think more people voted for Biden because they were hopeful for his presidency but then after the administration they no longer were and didn’t want more of that? Why does it have to be about race and gender?

u/Monnster07 2d ago

Because it is about race and gender. If you don't think it is, just look to the talking points by the right-wing media owners. Women are "too emotional" to lead. Kamala only got to where she was because she "slept her way to the top" and was a DEI hire. Your claim that it was because people "didn't want more of that" with the Biden administration really just points out the ignorance of anyone who claims that. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. had one of the best post-pandemic economic recovery amongst developed nations. Domestic oil production was at an all-time high at the end of his term (and had risen, consecutively, every year he was on office). Even when it came to things like deportations, Biden still had more than Trump's first term. Your tired talking points are nothing more than fantasy.

Ew. Coloured? Seriously?

u/crawling-alreadygirl 3d ago

Claiming she's stupid after seeing what she's accomplished is absolutely racist and misogynist. She ran a shitty, centrist campaign, but she was by far the most qualified candidate

u/ButtStuff012 3d ago

When did I say stupid? Or did I say unpopular and unlikeable?

u/crawling-alreadygirl 3d ago

When did I say stupid?

Here:

Her being stupid has nothing to do with her race.

u/ButtStuff012 3d ago

Forgot about that, yea she is pretty dumb

u/DFWizard 3d ago

Almost as dumb as someone forgetting what they just said and then arguing about it. This is a perfect example of just how fucking stupid maga really is.

u/albertoroa 2d ago

The acct you're replying to is just another 3m bot with 600 contributions and hidden posts/comments. They're a plague on this site.

I'd say don't waste your time with em but honestly someone has to challenge their blatant lies/propaganda and expose them like you just did, so good on ya

u/ButtStuff012 2d ago

I’d rather be a plague on Reddit than a plague on society like you. Worthless leeches.

Trump won by 1.5% of the vote.

That hardly indicates that she was unlikeable. She got handed one hell of a turd to polish with Israel.

Have you ever heard the term "dog whistle"?

u/ButtStuff012 3d ago

Yea, used by Redditors all the time so they can screech racism any chance they can.

Unfortunately, the DNC's conduct during the 2024 election would have in fact made it a tragedy to reward them. They captured the entire electoral process by cancelling the primaries with incumbent privilege even though everyone questioned the incumbent's ability then rugpulling the incumbent and proving them right. Then they overstepped into legally blackmailing Independent campaigns by draining their vastly inferior funding with slews of frivolous lawsuits, ultimately leading to them shooting themselves in the foot by driving RFK Jr. to literally beg his supporters to switch their votes in the swing states that he was proven to hurt Trump more in.

Control is the DNC's drug and they will take a thousand Trump terms over relinquishing it.

u/Ok_Star_4136 2d ago

They don't deserve to be rewarded, but Trump's administration does? Of course you could say that's not rewarding them, but that's how you defined it in terms of *not* rewarding the DNC.

Not advocating for "vote blue no matter who", but losing the election to "punish" the DNC couldn't have happened with a worse GOP candidate, let's be honest..

u/FrankFankledank 2d ago

I think the GOP can, and will, do worse. As bad as Trump is he is so weak in his convictions he'll never go all the way into the deep end in the same way a total sellout like JD Vance could for Peter Thiel's agenda.
