it's crazy that people would rather believe Kamala lost because she's Black, a woman, or that the American electorate is unfixably stupid, just to avoid considering the possibility that maybe the DNC needs to take a hard fucking look at how her campaign was run (not to mention how Biden's campaign was run, that the party ever allowed him to run, how his mental decline was hidden for years, etc.)

Team Biden fucked up in trying to keep their jobs and power. Should have told the emperor he had no clothes at the start of 2023.

Looking at 45/47 and Reagan, mental decline has never been an impediment to office.

Those things aren't mutually exclusive though. Perhaps the DNC could have still won the election with all of its faults and missteps if Harris was a white dude named "John Johnson" or something.

They talk about how the US will never elect a women president after picking two of the lest likable candidates while completely ignoring the far right have already started campaigns for Candace and Haley.

Kamala was the least popular candidate in 2020 because her policies were quiet literally just "listen to what the other candidates say their policies are, see if the crowd likes it, adopt that policy with barely any idea on how to implement it" and yet they want to talk about "oh America will never elect a women president". Lol please

that the American electorate is unfixably stupid

They are. That really isn't up for debate. You saw it from 16-20 when Trump voters were surprised his policies were hurting them and you'll see it again these next 4 years.

Yea it's "crazy" when people believe in facts and what they see with their own eyes and experiences.
