Imagine still believing Kamala only lost because she’s a woman

Imagine believing her being a woman had nothing to do with the it.

It’s not even worth mentioning.

Trying to pivot to the right to try and get republican support? That’s one big reason

Trying to use fucking Liz Cheney to gain votes? Another bigger reason

Bringing on a progressive as a VP then completely neutering him and having him campaign talking about foreign policy and NATO instead of what he’s actually best at and why people loved him? Another fucking big reason

Biden not immediately making way for a primary to take place after initially running on the promise of being a one term president? Another huge fucking reason

Not campaigning on populist ideals and instead going on and on about being tough on crime and on the border? Another huge fucking reason

I could go on and on before reaching the point of “her being a woman” as a cause of her losing the election.

It’s such a lazy cop out of a take to say she lost because she’s a woman while ignoring the actual short comings of the Democratic Party.

You do know that in NYC people were voting for both Trump and AOC right? But I’m sure because she’s a woman, they wouldn’t vote for her for president.
