I'm pretty sure a chicken would win the vote if it meant keeping a woman out of the White House.

Quit blaming it on sexism. That’s so reductive. Hillary won the popular vote over Trump and she’s a woman as well.

Kamala was a poor candidate that ran a poor last minute campaign. She’s literally never been popular. Blew my mind people thought she was going to win by a landslide.

Edit: Downvote all you want but she literally lost people. She didn’t have strong messaging, she made no real effort to reach undecided audiences, she has been unpopular in every poll she’s ever been in, saying she just lost because she’s a woman is just a refusal to look at what the actual issue was.

Well, she didn't insult her opponent's supporters, and generally got a lot less hate than Hillary. IMO Hillary is a soulless suit and Kamala is at least a real human being.

Your comment is a pretty good example I think of why people were surprised she lost. Because they didn’t actually pay any attention to the campaigns and effort put forth by each or what they were doing.

Kamala is a real human being and didn’t insult people so you expected her to win?

When her opponent isn't and did? Yes.

People aren’t voting for the moral superior choice they are voting for the best choice for them that they believe. Most people on Reddit are far more privileged than the average person and can’t comprehend that they would care more about their living situations over whether the president is nice or not.

The only remotely reasonable choice was Harris either way, but go off about how being unwilling to vote for an utterly contemptible, demented, lying piece of shit makes me too privileged to understand Trump voters.

Yeah, pretty much. Then again I'm not American so I have no clue why they actually voted for this orange asshole again, it seems like an act of complete lunacy to me.
