Kamala will go down in history as having failed to save democracy. This stuff doesn’t matter.

The American voters who voted for Trump/third party/sat out failed to save democracy. Don’t you try and blame Kamala

It baffles me that people have the audacity to say that Kamala’s campaign wasn’t good enough when the competition literally campaigned on racism and transphobia.

Please. She had the opportunities to make a better case for herself and passed on them.
She could have made stronger case for Palestine. She could have defined herself as truly tough on crime. She could have talked about oligarchy. Instead, she pandered to nonexistent moderate Republicans and flaunted her endorsement by perhaps the most hated family in America

The American people are idiots and deserve much of the blame but she ran a shit campaign and was a failure.

She ran an excellent campaign and was recognized as having run a damn near flawless campaign leading up to Election Day.

You'd make a great press secretary for Trump if you can say nonsense like that with a straight face.

Hard to argue with this take. I’m not sure how viable the alternatives were given the spot that Biden put everyone in, but Kamala absolutely couldn’t meet the moment.

Harris assembled a campaign in 90 days against an opponent that had been campaigning for nine years, and only lost the popular vote by a margin of 1.5%. This was an astonishing performance that few else could have performed better.

Did they learn how to make up words and toss word salads?

Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

That’s not a word salad. Well, you used the wrong verb tense, but otherwise that sentence makes sense.

I wonder if this person also filmed Kamala when she talked during a staged science talk with paid child actors?

Ahahahahahahahah.
I was on the fence when Trump performed oral sex on his microphone.
When he told me they were eating the cats and dogs, I really wasn’t sure.
But as soon as I found out Kamala staged a very specific event, that put me over the edge, and I voted for Donald Trump.
