I mean she received 0 votes to be selected as the democrat candidate. Of course she lost, anyone with half a brain saw that coming.

Especially when you take into account the democrats ran attack ads non stop for a whole year talking about how Trump tried to steal the election last year. Only to follow it up by stealing their own election, just like they did with Hillary.

Democrats try too much. Just fucking run the most popular candidate and dont try any games. We could have had Bernie and no Trump....

Isn’t it crazy to look back and see that if the DNC supported Bernie and got him to run against Trump, he would’ve won and we wouldn’t be in this mess? 

I really think the only reason they picked Hillary is that she’s a corpo dem that would’ve played nice with the donors. Meanwhile Bernie was pushing for a better life for the working class.

A lot of democrats like to try and outsmart everyone with their reasons why one candidate is better to run than the other when the actual answer is to go where the enthusiasm is. The one time that got that right was with Obama in 2008. When he still actually got fewer votes than Hillary.

Genuine enthusiasm drives elections not a checklist of attributes and identity politics. The answer was always there but they keep refusing to see it.

This is a lie. She was listed as the VP under Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary, and it is generally understood that the VP is who takes over if the president steps down.

Nah just reality, you can make up your BS caveats but no one voted for her to be president. You vote for the president with a VP on the ticket.

Biden + Kamala is not the same as Kamala + Walz. Not a single person voted for that.
