She definitely campaigned wrong. She could have just said $1 million check for all and would have garnered more votes like drumpf.

She should have danced more. And drank Brawndo on stage. It's what plants crave.

Should’ve been on “ow my balls!” that would’ve gotten her messaging out to the regards

No because dems are actually held to a standard and she'd get torched for unrealistic policy or straight up buying votes.

I think rather than preaching to the choir who are already convinced.
It's better for her to focus on actually get people out to vote instead trying to convince swing state. Huge amount of voter did not vote, which effectively is a vote for tan man.
Biden's first term actually touch on this a lot, they spent a lot of campaign just to get people get out to vote. But second term, people seem to completely forget about the fact democrat have far lower voter turn out rate than the other side.

You don't need her to buy vote, but actually get people out of their house to vote is a must.

I’m sure if she had the time run a proper campaign. She would have had.

She only had a 100 days to pull this off.

u/nemodigital 23h ago

Yep, Sleepy Joe staying on as emperors new clothes really helped torpedo her chances.

u/zaidinator 23h ago

And she decided to spend that time campaigning with Liz Cheney lol

u/Upper_South2917 23h ago

She did that once and Cheney understood the assignment. Sorry that you didn’t.

u/zaidinator 22h ago

What was the assignment. Target moderate white voters that would never vote for a POC?

u/Upper_South2917 22h ago

Moderates who may have voted for the other guy before.

Again, if you’re coping that you didn’t pick her. That’s on you.

We call that “Flawless-Lawless”

She did basically everything right. The American electorate looked at a guy who mimes giving blowjobs during speeches and suggests injecting bleach to cure viruses, who had already been president before and lost 2.7 million jobs, and decided that would be better than having a competent black woman as president.

u/Upper_South2917 1d ago

Correct, there’s no butter emails here. This is straight up didn’t listen to the black DA Lady despite everything she said was correct.

It also goes to show that all the supposed signs and cues of “Likability”, polls, debates, are complete useless horseshit. If people don’t want to listen, they aren’t going to listen. Now they get to experience the consequences.

u/AsstacularSpiderman 22h ago

At this point the American people need to suffer to finally figure it out, sadly. Lots of my fellow Americans are just too fucking lost in the sauce to be pulled out willingly.

Americans want a class president who will put soda in every drinking fountain, extend recess by 2 hours, and cancel homework.

u/Xander707 23h ago

Except this class president is going to put toxic sludge in their water and tell them they are drinking soda, reduce recess to 10 min and tell them it’s the best recess deal anyone has ever seen, and increase homework two-fold and say it’s going really well.

u/Carolinaathiest 19h ago

It's not like he tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power in 2020 or anything.

u/Xander707 19h ago

Yeah or became a convicted felon. It’s actually challenging to list all of the blatant, horrible, absolutely disqualifying cons about Trump, which seems to be his superpower.

u/AnotherScoutTrooper 1d ago

a competent black woman

Calling Kamala this is an insult to competent black women

u/EffOffReddit 23h ago

BUT HOW WILL SHE PAY FOR IT HUH oh Trump hasconcepts of a plan? Sounds great I'm in!

28

u/gayteemo 1d ago

what? no it wouldn't lol. i mean she even campaigned on things like 10,000$ for first time homebuyers and small businesses and the media raked her over the coals for not having a way to pay for it.

u/adamsworstnightmare 22h ago

It's not Kamala's fault the country is retarded. We've had this clown in office before. Everyone with half a brain was ringing the alarm bells about Trump's plans and the country made it's choice.

u/herefromyoutube 18h ago

Crazy how everybody ignores Trump’s response to covid, too. His one actual challenge in office and he botched it. He could’ve united the country like bush after 9/11

Nope.

It still boggles my mind people blame Biden for 8% inflation. Like WTF did Biden do that caused 8% inflation?

u/DutchGoFast 17h ago

Was it the giant tax cuts? the first round of tariffs? the trade war? perhaps the 1 trillion in PPP loans deposited directly into 1%er checking accounts? Was it the 0% rates the quantitative easing in the midst of the “best economy ever”? Nope it was….. Biden

u/nemodigital 23h ago

She should have gone on Joe Rogan... there. I said it.

u/CutterSlicar 21h ago

Trump voters thought saving imaginary pets in Ohio was more important than protecting their retirement savings apparently
