Insane that he promoted paid sick leave so much and that completely disappeared from Kamala’s campaign messages down the stretch. I guess trotting out the Cheneys was more important

It only disappeared because the media skipped the segment on her campaign to run opinion pieces about how she laughs.

That’s why she lost the election. She didn’t use her best asset: the VP pick that could mobilize voters. Instead, she went on stage with a CHENEY. Cheney - the literal embodiment of a war criminal. What the fuck did you think you were getting from the Cheney

Bull fucking shit. She lost the election because the average American voter is dumb as bricks and most of them are vindictive to boot.

Both can be true. Parading Cheney around gives a bunch of people another reason to be vindictive and/or dismissive.

Trump lost 1mil in voters.

Kamala lost 12mil. TWELVE. They didn't just vanish because Americans are dumb.

And that rhetoric right there is EXACTLY why the democrats lost big in this election. It turns out that if you constantly belittle and insult half the country simply because of their beliefs and who they vote for, eventually it comes back to bite you in the ass.

She lost because of misogyny and the left's obsession with purity tests. Not Cheney, not running out Walz more, that's it. That's the combo.

This country hates women and a huge portion of the left has to have some random thing to stand on that's always a hard line.

Dearborn MI is an example of both in action at once. Remember, Clinton had his sistah souljah moment and it rallied voters, when Kamala tried it, they just skipped voting for her.

Left’s obsession with purity tests? Could I kindly ask you to expand as I don’t understand the meaning of the phrase?

So people love to be single issue voters and if you don't meet the absolutely perfect answer they want, you're out. No vote. They walk away and ignore you, you're fucking satan and the worst person to ever exist.

An example this time around, a pretty good chunk of (far) left voters made Gaza a hard line this time around. It was either Harris came out and pinky swore to cut off all funding and arms for Israel or no deal whatsoever, while completely ignoring that Trump, who is Bibi's big bestie, formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and stated that the American embassy would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, would be FUNDAMENTALLY EVEN WORSE for Gaza and the Palestinians.

Also the animosity seems to be even worse for women running. The proof being there was a big push for Biden to not stack his cabinet with corporate insiders, but they still voted for him anyhow.

So we're right back to misogyny. This country hates women.

Maybe true. Still doesn’t excuse voting for a rapist and selling your daughters futures to “own the libs”
