America is racist, sexist and dumb and nothing could have saved VP Harris's campaign

I asked a bunch of friends today what is the main reason why Trump lost in 2020 but won this year, and without hesitation, one of them replied: "Because, this time, he was running against a black woman."

I really hate to say it, but I suspect that is indeed the main reason for this tragedy.

So then she shouldn't have accepted the nomination.

Even in California Harris was known as a careerist. It was a foolhardy decision to endorse her, but Biden did because he owed the Congressional Black Caucus a solid.

You know, I have a foreign friend who thought for sure that Kamala would win in large part because other minorities and women would come out to vote for her. Not just Blacks, but Hispanics and Indians too. I told him he had no idea what Americans are like and that here, minorities and women don't have solidarity with each other.

There is a single black woman on Earth who could have possibly won the election, but she doesn’t want to be in politics.

Nah, Michelle Obama is beloved by certain folks but men and Gen Z men in particular would have sunk her. She would not have won.

I've finally blocked r2.

Not because I don't want opposing views or views that agree with me.

But because you're an idiot.

Trump is a "careerist" too, 'ya moron, a career Con Man, and here's how fair and real I can be, he's a SUCCESSFUL Con Man, and you're his mark.

No r4, I'm afraid I have to disagree. If MO would have been the candidate, she would have lost, and bigots would've come up with all kinds of self-justifications, except the truth- they're bigots.

It's been a long time since I've seen the amount of racism that I've seen on Datalounge after the election.

The disinformation campaign ran 24/7. The GOP fed lies nonstop

Della, you are and always have been a chode.

Della is what we in the 90s used to call listeners of Rush Limbaugh: a dittohead. Fundamentally useless people incapable of critical thinking or self-analysis, who merely root for whoever they receive marching orders from. There’s a whole class of people on social media now who grift off of this, like Harry Sisson. These are the people who got yoked with the name “Blue MAGA” for their pathetic circling of the wagons after Biden’s shameful debate. And you know what, once Biden got thrown out with the bathwater, they announced Kamala Harris was the greatest thing since sliced bread. They have no real convictions, just overweening self-regard, which is why Della still signs his/her posts like that (it was a play on delegate from either 2008 or 2016.)

My God, get over yourself.

I have now blocked R2 too - an insufferable Bernie bro

Biden is happier than anyone else that Kamala lost.

R10’s contribution to the discourse:

[quote]In the end Democrats need to run white, Christian males married to white ladies.

The “Bernie bro” sobriquet has more likely to do with your wariness of Sanders’s religion than it does his politics, doesn’t it R10?

blocked years ago

R14 if only I had blocked you years ago, then I would be spared seeing your contributions to the board, like a thread about a gay porn star from forty years ago that you largely replied to yourself.

OP, and i would add to that "especially minority voters"

The Black and Latino communities are still stuck in the 50s, where Bloviating Machismo seems like strength to them, so their choice was obvious.

So, let's blame all of the people who felt they were betrayed by the Biden Administration and label them racists, sexist, and dumb- precisely the reason the election was lost. The arrogance of the elite Dems.

No, R17, it’s just were suck of walking on eggshells. Ooh mustn’t upset the supporters of an authoritarian regime by calling them deplorable, or alluding to trash.

Fuck that shit. They’re retards. Fucking stupid ass dimwits who took up space in the classroom, can’t accomplish simple tasks at work, can’t understand a multisyllable word or an argument with more than one variable. They are a drain on resources, overconsume, overpollute, and are better off dead. I don’t give a fuck about winning them over anymore. Like the Nazis, they won’t get it until everything is destroyed. So let them destroy themselves and each other.

It’s cute that people think Michelle could win. Or even Barack in today’s climate. Gen Z men and Latino men under 40 would tank both of them. Biden won because of covid. The black and Latino community was hit the hardest in terms of death and white liberals were all at home voting by mail. 4 years post covid with every podcaster and crypto influencer gone far far conspiracy right and I don’t think Jesus would have won. That fag in a robe saying those who are last shall be first?

Biden would't have won this year either.

Both Left and Right made it clear in 2016 they were tired of both parties and the boring ass politicians they were offering up as candidates. The Republicans had no clear front runner but a huge banal posse of morons running and Trump steamrolled them all into getting the nomination. I hate Trump but...it worked. Meanwhile, the establishment Dems were solidly behind "It's HER turn!" Hillary and despite voices crying 'we need someone different' ...

If the Dems and the Clintonistas hadn't killed Bernie's shot in 2016, a very hale and hearty Bernie would be wrapping up his 2nd term on January 20, 2025.

Instead, Bernie just won another term as Senator. While Hillary is busy peddling her latest book no one will read.

Not that again. Bernie is HaTED by the right and the racist bros around the US would have never voted for a socialist Jew
