There she goes laughing again, not the kind of behavior you want to see in a President /s

Honestly, being cheeky with the "I'm not here to say I told you so" and then laughing is...a perfect encapsulation of why she didn't drive out the votes to beat Trump. To the Right she's a laughing maniac, to the neutral she's just stirring the pot without saying anything meaningful, and to the Left she's not attacking the right hard enough.

She SHOULD be saying I told you so at every opportunity given. Not sure how going high when they go low can fail so many times and the spineless center-left does nothing to change course.

And to the sexust she's a woman and so not allowed to laugh like the orange idiot does, or dance like a spastic seizing moron. No her behavior us under fair scrutiny while his is ignored. I'm not saying you're not right just that if you are it is sexism not that she had a goofy laugh. I'll take her laugh over his rambling bizarre egoistic speech, his hair, his obesity, his small hands, and behavior that the would cause the rest of us to be incarcerated. But I agree Dems know how to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory. But folks should be getting a real-time feel of how great Trump is soon (those owning stock already know...everyone else will be getting theirs shortly).

Oh my complaint has nothing to do with her actual laugh. Im just saying the overall sarcastic handling of this specific message is a great example of exactly the  kind of things that harmed her campaign.

The issue is our electorate, not Kamala Harris.

Yes, the electorate is comprised primarily of morons. Its important when running a campaign to realize that and adjust your public interactions to capture the morons instead of push them away. Its something the right excels at. They tell the idiots what they want to hear in a "down to earth" (read: childish) manner and rake in the votes.

Easy this next cycle. Are cars cheaper, are eggs cheaper, is your job more secure? If you even try to blame immigrants ir DEI didn't Trump cut those? Regardless of what is wrong it belongs to Republicans. They're entirely in charge. And they've fd everything up (except maybe their own profiteering). But they're dismantling even cyberdefense, so now we really CAN and SHOULD start to worry about election integrity. Especially if suddenly there's 90% support for Trump et al.
