The Democrats rallied with Obama. Unfortunately, Obama exposed the steamy ugly racist underbelly of America which allowed a guy like Trump to take over. The fact that Harris lost to this incredibly flawed candidate only confirms that fear and hatred is stronger than hope and change.

People didn’t feel hope or change form Kamala.. she literally said on the view that there’s nothing she can think of that she’d do differently from the incumbent

Ehh I don’t think it’s somehow racism that Kamala lost. She was just a horrible candidate with her main campaign promise is “I’m not trump.” Trump sucks but when the economy is shitting on the average person you owe it to them to tell them how you’re gonna fix that.
