It's not just Kamala Harris, it is democrats in general. I get that they want the first woman president ... but its not going to happen in this political environment. Many Hatian immigrants that voted for Trump just because they don't think a woman can be president. Copy that ... Trump said these people are eating cats and they still voted for him. Hispanics? News flash, they are predominantly Catholic ... so Pro Choice doesn't go over well for them. Then people got angry because Kamala skipped the whole nomination prosses. Stuff like this is why she lost. Biden should have ran, then resigned after he beat Trump again.
Biden wasn't ever going to beat trump after that complete failure of a debate. Harris was the dems Hail Mary play after they finally realized that.
Yeah I thought the odds of her winning were less than 50% but they were still bette than the odds of Biden winning again.
No way Biden wins a second time. His mind was critically failing during the debates, the average voter saw that, and minorities didn't win him the election overall, white people did.

Remember saying that and being called a useful idiot who bought into Propaganda? Pepperidge farm remembers.
And now they blame non-whites for the failures of the old racist dude and his token friend.
We have literal scientific proof that voters don't give a shit if the candidate is a man or a woman.
Please really do stop this narrative. It makes more damage than you think
You can't have "scientific proof" on an opinion. That's dumb. If voters don't care if the candidate is a man or woman THEN WHY HAVE THEY ALL BEEN MEN? I think that ends your "science" right there.
This was the weirdest response I have ever had on Lemmy ... congrats.
Yeah man, fuck scientific research I guess, your totally sustainable anecdotal evidence is proof enough
How's Kamala victory working out for you btw
You make no sense.
My point: The US is not ready fir a woman president and won't elect one. Dems need to stop running women.
Your Point (apparently): Science says voters don't care if the candidate is male or female.
Let's test your theory in the laboratory of life. To be correct by your measure the US should have around a 50% male/female ratio, we will say 40/60 proves it as well.
There have been 45 people elected to the 60 US presidential terms.
Let's look at the elected presidents. By your measure, should it not matter to voters, we should have had 20-23 women as president. We should also have 40-50% women in Congress, the House, and Senate. Let's check those numbers ....
of US presidents in history: None
Women in politics is currently the highest it has ever been. The numbers are 28% in Congress, 29% in the House and 25% in the Senate.
Hmmm ... it looks like there is a substantial difference in how voters feel.
This is the part where you throw a fit and start name calling.
Biden should have ran
Even before the Jun 27 debate fiasco, the polls always showed that Biden had very little chance of winning. He was trying to actively facilitate a AIPAC genocide and simultaneously win a close campaign race from the "left" party. If the DNC had run a real primary process, and if the media had held Biden to his promise to only run a single term, things might have been different.
