Let your local magats know how you feel since this is what they wanted. The business owner ones even made it easy to figure out who they are over on their Nazi safe space at public square
AIPAC, the self styled King makers of US politics, dont care who you vote for as they all support israel. It's business as usual as far as they're concerned.
Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
She also was hugely supportive of genocide, is a cop, huge opponent of sex workers, promised to outflank trump to the right on immigration and crime, had a terrible climate change plan including backtracking on things like fracking, terrible health care policy, denied any economic problems and her solution to massive poverty and increasing inequality boiled down to increased ease of first home buyers. She had terrible policies no reason to whitewash her.

I mean Biden was personally killing Palestinians so let's all make sure Trump does worse too so checkmate lIbRuL. Ps I'm morally superior because I think my self righteous social media posts matter way more than the outcome I cause with my actions. And if you disagree? Well, you love genocide! /s

This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.
The statistics of who stayed home VS who voted for a white man with the same policies (older white men/women and older hispanic men) shows most of the votes lost are from Kamala being a colored woman and our most bigoted groups responding accordingly.
100%. A woman of color? No way.
This is why AOC can't run for president. We would just be stuck with Trump 3.0 or some Republican poser.

Musk will light your taxes on fire. Obama was huge on deportation. Kamala is a gun owner. OK, why won't you vote for Kamala then? "I just don't like her. She laughs weird." I couldn't believe it, but it shouldn't shock me. How do you even keep going after that?
It wasn't really about the laugh.
Yea, some of them also noticed she is a minority and a woman. Sadly our country has not accepted those groups are just as capable as white men to lead a country.
Maybe the broligarchy currently in charge will finally disabuse people of the notion of white male superiority. Maybe…

I remember reading that immigration groups called Obama the deporter in chief. Trump wishes he could get a nickname that would go that hard with his base.

Also, those dumbass's who think a woman can't be president.
Americans will delude themselves into thinking Harris lost because of identity politics all the way to the concentration camps.

What actual percentage of the American people do you think believes a woman can't be president? And I mean believe her nature as a woman makes her unfit, not people who believe the electorate won't vote for her.
Do you know any polls in the last year that indicate how big a contingent that would be?
I'd be shocked if it was over 0.5%. Even over 0.2% would be very surprising to me. Of course to get polls that precise you'd need to ask like 100,000 people.
Unfortunately, it's not black or white. I recall a woman saying she wouldn't vote for Kamala because she thought America wasn't ready for a woman president.
Is that her nature as a woman or people that believe the electorate won't vote for her?
It almost sounds like passing the buck, I won't vote for her because of everyone else's opinion 🤷 idk, I don't have the answers.
That would very clearly be an example of thinking "the electorate wouldn't vote for her".
If it was her nature as a woman, the reason would be some thing like "Because women are bad at _______".
Something clearly misogynist; Instead of just thinking everyone else is misogynist.
Unfortunately that includes a lot of women, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
My mom will still tell you that things would be much worse if Harris had won. Can't say how, but she doesn't hear the sarcasm when I suggest we'd all be learning Mandarin online while recovering from forced gender reassignment surgery and seems to consider that a legitimate possibility.
Most of those women were raised brainwashed by their church and family to be subservient to their man. In retrospect, giving those women in particular the right to vote might've been a mistake. It essentially just doubled the weight of their spouses vote.
That's the drawback of universal suffrage, not just women's suffrage....most people are idiots and easily manipulated. Women just moreso because of countless generations of oppressive patriarchy.
But there's no real good way to test a voter without opening the floodgates for fraud and discrimination...so here we are. Idiots in charge.
Vimes had once discussed the Ephebian idea of ‘democracy’ with Carrot, and had been rather interested in the idea that everyone had a vote until he found out that while he, Vimes, would have a vote, there was no way in the rules that anyone could prevent Nobby Nobbs from having one as well. Vimes could see the flaw there straight away.
-Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
He had such a way with words, he did.
I really, sincerely hope that this current series of events leads to a period of American Enlightenment where we have a renewed focus on education, science, and the arts.
The weakest point in a representative democracy is very much so the uneducated public. The bigger their voter pool, the more they can drag down everyone else.
Probably won't, most of us will probably be dead long before that happens, and certainly before we could reap the rewards of it. But it would be nice.
