I still can't believe the americans chose him over Kamala.
She's ridiculous. Never won a primary. Because she almost certainly could not have, if she had been subjected to one in the most recent election.
All the Dems had to do was produce/nominate a viable, moderate candidate. They are too inept to do that. They still have not fired their leadership. One wonders what level of failure would be required for them to finally do that.
Thats the thing, moderates in an extreme system are still unpopular because they represent more pain for the people they're asking to vote for them. Free healthcare is the most popular position among anyone who might vote dem, yet its not moderate. So is cutting off Israel, defunding ICE, and taxing billionaires.
When it was Biden, I had a hope, the moment kamala was declared the face, I knew that Trump is winning. I've never seen such strong mysogeny in any developed countries. There is a reason a woman has never held highest office in US while do called "backward" contries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh have already had women holding highest office.
Centrists don't want to let AOC to be able to run, so they're acting like the problem with harris was the misogyny of the American electorate. They're holding back all women to stop one woman.
Kamala was wildly popular when she announced, and got more popular when she nominated Walz. Then she embraced every position that had just killed Biden's campaign.
Aye, how do people not remember how much momentum Walz's "weird" carried, and how much the 'planners' screamed and shouted and made all of the effective tactics stop?
It's still wild to me that the Harris campaign brought on all the same people who managed to lose to El Taco the first time.
