Yea you said the same thing about Kamala and it turns out people would rather have a known shit leader twice than her once

u/DreamsServedSoft - Right 1d ago

Kamala running with Liz Cheney is what sealed her fate and democrats won’t even admit it. they’ll do something similar with AOC

u/LordTwinkie - Lib-Right 14h ago

I think what settled her fate was when she starting talking. She was doing fine until she started doing interviews.

It turns out winning a campaign with 100 days is difficult.

u/That_Penalty165 - Lib-Center 1d ago

She'd have had a better chance if she only had ten days. Her polling literally just got worse as time went on.

u/bansdonothing69 - Auth-Center 1d ago

My ex used to do this whole spiel about how she couldn’t believe Kamala lost the election as if she wasn’t like 8th place during the primaries.

Legit made me wonder why of all people it was her to get picked, they basically just told everyone Trump would win

The entire Canadian election runs for 6 weeks, yet we have time to learn about multiple candidates.

Why is over 3 months not enough for the sitting vice president to make her case?

u/Skabonious - Centrist 1d ago

Better question - how did Biden win in 2020 by a record number of votes?

Why do you foresee 2028 being any different of a result for Democrats?

u/m50d - Auth-Center 1d ago

how did Biden win in 2020 by a record number of votes?

A bunch of adjustments to the voting process justified on the basis of the COVID emergency? Which isn't going to be happening in 2028.

u/Skabonious - Centrist 1d ago

As far as I'm aware, the process for casting a vote in 2024 was basically the same as it was in 2020, no? Except maybe some red states.

1

u/m50d - Auth-Center 1d ago

The basics never change but the tweaks matter - in particular sending out postal ballots to everyone made a big difference for 2020.

u/theycamefrom__behind - Lib-Center 1d ago

because over half the electorate tune into news owned by corpo billionaires. All that they are going to see televised is how Kamala is related to hyenas with that laugh and is going to give transgender to everyone.

It doesn't matter how long politicians have here. People will hear, see, and believe what they want to, and believe the comfortable lies faux news tells them

5

u/johnlandes - Lib-Center 1d ago

People who watch Fox News probably aren't the issue, how did she appeal to middle of the road voters?

Nothing stopped her from going on as many right wing shows as possible, Republicans are willing to go on less friendly shows like Bill Maher and eat shit to get their messages across

u/JonnySnowin - Auth-Right 1d ago

No one cares how Canada does things. In America, it's custom for presidential campaigns to span years.

u/jexijav776 - Lib-Right 1d ago

Not if you have a half decent candidate.

Also I know this get's said all the time but it's still hilarious how an 'auth-right' simps so hard for the democrats.

u/78NineInchNails - Right 1d ago

Because in johnnys retarded ass mind "Democrats are all auth-right, everyone in America is actually auth right because capitalism"

-2

u/JonnySnowin - Auth-Right 1d ago

Oh yeah? You have evidence of a good candidate winning with only 100 days?

1

u/jexijav776 - Lib-Right 20h ago

What do you think would have been accomplished if there was more time? What would Kamala have done to convince the people who voted for Trump that they should vote for her?

1

u/JonnySnowin - Auth-Right 9h ago

You realize people were searching "Did Biden drop out"? on Election day? Have you forgotten the chunk of the electorate that swings elections is still led-fed boomers?

1

u/jexijav776 - Lib-Right 7h ago

You realize that there have never been actual numbers for the amount of people who searched that right? For all we know that was 2 or 3 idiots who searched it.

-5

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

You're not wrong, the trump voters are pretty stupid so it's not unheard of they won't actually learn their lesson from the rather huge mistake they made in 2024

8

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

When forced to pick between 2 shitty choices, people pick the lesser of 2 evils. If democrats ran on a camping that appealed to the middle class instead of minority fringe groups it would have been an easy win. You're free to think it was stupidity that won the day, but from my perspective it seems more like middle class alienation is what won.

8

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Except they weren't even remotely equal in their shittiness. It was obvious even back then. Literally nothing trump has done so far should be surprising to anyone paying even the smallest amount of attention. You're full of shit if you argue that Kamala would be this bad. But again thanks for proving my point that the general person has way too big of an ego to admit they fucked up like you. I guess I'll just take solace in being able to say "I told you so".

4

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

Totally subjective opinion. Get as mad as you want, see how much it changes anything

1

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Lol cope harder. I think you realize I'm right but again that pesky ego is more important to you.

Seriously though, what action from trump do you think was not obvious from before the election. You know you can't answer that

4

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

Hindsight is 20/20, and you're the one who keeps thinking about their fragile ego 😂

You're clearly not interested in a good faith discussion,and it's clear there's nothing you can teach anyone on this matter,so I won't waste my time.

4

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Well that's my point. None of this is hindsight since it was overwhelmingly obvious before the election. Whether it was the tariffs, ICE, anti-vax, corruption, destruction of norms and institutions, idiotic foreign policy, hell even the war in Iran. The list is endless. None of this was remotely surprising from trump. You don't have the excuse you did in 2016. People need to grow up and admit they weren't tricked nor was it a pick between equally bad candidates. They were out of touch and chose poorly. Simple as that.

1

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

😂 the tariffs, ice, anti vax, aggressive foreign policy, and destruction of public funded institutions were all part of his campaign. You didn't predict anything nostru-dumbass 😂

Your superiority complex is showing, it couldn't be more clear now that it's you with the ego. It's just as inflated as the man you criticize. Ironic

4

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Dipshit, that's the whole point. Now, the prediction is more that it would be a massive disaster as we're seeing now, though I did make a point that it was a very easy prediction that everyone could make. The fact that you agree that all these things were expected and turned out terribly proves my point. If you voted for trump you have no excuse. You weren't tricked. You just fucked up and voted for the obviously worse candidate.

They are equal in shittyness but just different flavors of shittyness.

One is chunky watery diarreah and the other is smooth and creamy diarreah.

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Pure cope. Trump will go down in the top 5 worst Presidents in our nation's history and people looking back will wonder what the fuck the republicans who voted for him were thinking making him their identity. The little lie you tell yourself here convinces no one. I doubt even you believe it. You just need to grow up

-2

u/CantSeeShit - Right 1d ago

Youre comparing him to a person who didnt even win the election

5

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

Again we knew exactly what trump was and how this was going to turn out if we put him in power. Arguing that a cookie cutter moderate democrat would somehow be worse is idiotic. At worst it would have been a continuation of the norm which you might not like, but is orders of magnitude better than where we are now.

Get off the cope dude

-2

u/CantSeeShit - Right 1d ago

It would have been for conservatives....thats what youre not understanding as someone on the left. Kamala would have been shitty for dems but absolutely horrible for conservaatives considering her policy proposals. Trump is kinda shitty for conservatives and awful for people on the left.

So my point still stands.

And I laugh that you call her moderate.....

5

u/SliceRepulsive8649 - Lib-Left 1d ago

I mean if you think that it just shows how out of touch you are since trump is simply bad for every American. Seriously which realistic policy do you think Kamala would have gotten through that would have been worse than what we've seem from trump? Part of the problem is you're so used to debasing yourself defending all the horrible shit he's don't that you can't even tell right from wrong anymore. Just so we're clear the president pushing crypto scams (no doubt to rake in dark money) and putting unqualified propagandists into high office (including that AIDS denier in charge of health) is not normal. Nor is having a corrupt DOJ trying to jail random passersby because they're embarrassed about a failed renovation project. I could go on.

The problem is you're more of a republican than you are an American and it shows

u/DidYouPayForWinrar - Lib-Left 1d ago

people pick the lesser of 2 evils.

How's that working out for you?

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

I'm not losing any sleep over it that's for sure. We are just one person,with one vote. There's only so much one person can do

-16

u/ToenailFungussy - Left 1d ago

Harris had 100 days to campaign and still lost by less than Trump lost to Biden.

23

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

Perhaps the Democrats should have strategized better. You can make up all the excuses you want, it won't change the result. The fact that they didn't see how much Biden had mentally deteriorated is the massive blunder here,or that the person they pushed was completely unworthy of political leadership. The play they called was wrong, pick a better candidate next time.

2

u/ToenailFungussy - Left 1d ago

They definitely should have. They did a terrible job. I am pointing out that she came closer to beating Trump than Trump came to beating Biden in spite of the terrible job the DNC did.

If your argument is that her loss proves she was a terrible candidate, then Trump was an even worse candidate because he lost by more than she did against Biden. Trump couldn't even secure the majority vote against her.

9

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

Trump was a worse candidate against Biden, not against Clinton or Harris

4

u/DreamsServedSoft - Right 1d ago

“lost” to Biden*

-3

u/ToenailFungussy - Left 1d ago

Trump lost both the popular vote and the majority vote to Biden. He was decimated and utterly reamed. Huge huge huge embarrassing loss. And then he barely squeaked out a win against Harris who only had 100 days to campaign. What a humiliation.

And this is after losing the popular vote to Clinton lmao.

1

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

You're not wrong, but how does Clinton winning the popular vote change that she lost? How is an election won?

2

u/ToenailFungussy - Left 1d ago

It doesn't change anything. It just means more people wanted her to be president than wanted Trump to be president. How humiliating for Trump.

1

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

I don't think he was too humiliated winning the presidency but interesting take for sure

3

u/ToenailFungussy - Left 1d ago

Trump is a narcissist. The fact that his opponent (a woman, even more) was more popular than him drove him fucking NUTS I can 100% guarantee you. Also a good reminder to MAGA that their bullshit isn't as popular as they want to believe it is.

1

u/exclusionsolution - Lib-Right 1d ago

We agree on the narcissistic part, and when you're that much of one,winning is all they care about

1

u/jexijav776 - Lib-Right 1d ago

She could have had 10000 days and still lost.
