Blame the at most 2 million or so antigenocide protestors, instead of the 75 million who voted for Trump. Considering Harris was short 8 million votes, it didn't really matter.
Blame Trump voters first, but also blame Harris for running a dog shit campaign where she leaned right to pickup Republicans, and ended up picking up zero R voters while completely alienating the progressives and losing 14 million votes from Biden's 2020 performance.
The Dems don't seem too upset though. They would rather lose to the republicans than let progressives have any sort of power.
That’s not how voting works in the US.
She needed a little over 230k (at last count) in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Edit: And the total popular vote gap is down to ~2.65mm.
It is not only that she ran to the right but she did so with Liz Cheney who represents the old guard that is no longer trusted by them. She is nothing but a liability and is moreso indicative of the rot in the establishment which seems to identify more with Republican-lite than anything the rank and file of the party wants. That same establishment is trying to decide which minority to throw under the bus now rather than own up to their failures.
Yeah, the young MAGAts I work with don't like that old crew of Rs. People like Cheney campaigning with Harris was another reason for them to vote for Trump. Sane people know the whole "drain the swamp" thing is bullshit but a lot of his supporters buy that bullshit, and Cheney is definitely a swamp creature.
