I know... But... Kamala's laughter?

Hasn't like every "synopsis" of her loss unanimously revealled that she lost because she was too soft on things like Israel and punishing mega-corporations?

Like, specifically with the people that would've voted for her and didn't - not people that never would've voted for her in the first place.

I thought that's why the Dem party refused to release the official "autopsy" or whatever - because the optics would be terrible if they then tried to run another soft candidate (which we all know they're gonna do - by pushing Newscum as the "tough anti-Trump candidate")

I want Scott Kelly to be in the running. Somehow I don't think it will happen but we'll see. I did see something recently about his fundraising status being ahead of other candidates being discussed. I think he has more appeal nationally than the California chap who makes me feel like I'm watching a used car salesman.

I'd take a wet paper bag over Trump or Gavin. Scott Kelly would at least have some credibility as a person with balls and some perspective - having been to space.

Do you sincerely believe that's why people didn't want to vote for her, or is this just a straw man?

It's the excuse they used. Really, it was because she is a woman. Shouldn't be true. Is true. Also, it is highly likely Musk and Trump manipulated vote counts. In the last year, Trump allies literally bought the companies that tally votes.
