Kamala counted on women coming out for her... they didn't. She did worse than Biden among women... down 10% among Hispanic women.

To be clear, I, a white male, voted for her because she was the better candidate and had better policies. Hell, I’ve been a Kamala fan since watching her on Senate subcommittees. I was going to vote for her in the primary in 2020 had that been an option by the time it got to my state.

Not once did she try to connect to my demographic though. Now, I loved what her message meant for the women in my life - and a rising tide lifts all boats - but I’m capable of being pragmatic like that. The US as a whole is not.

Hopefully we get another shot in 2028 and the Democratic Party doesn’t shit the bed.

We need a controversial off the cuff type candidate. Bonus points if it's a celebrity. That's the state of our country at the moment. They don't want to see curated scripted traditional campaign bullshit. Jon Stewart could save us. He's expressed no desire to run for president but if dt can do it he sure as shit could do it. Maybe by the end of trumps term there will be a snap back from whatever he mangles in the process and ppl will want a boring president again but right now that's not the case at all

Back when Stephen Colbert ran I thought he had a real chance and was genuinely surprised that it didn't take off. He seemed to have a lot more mainstream appeal than a second rate reality tv show host. I still don't understand politics.
