Why Kamala Harris Lost — And Why It Wasn’t Close
Rolling Stone ^ | 11/6/24 | Andrew Perez

Posted on 11/10/2024 11:25:39 AM PST by DallasBiff

Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the brutal economy, and punished Democrats over it.

It happened, again: Democrats lost a winnable election to a racist, orange-makeup-wearing carnival barker, despite his odiousness, immorality, and unbridled corruption. This time, Donald Trump campaigned on an even darker agenda — the mass deportation of migrants, calls for more violent policing, and demands of retribution against his enemies — and he didn’t have to try to steal the election in the courts or via a violent coup. In the battleground states, he appears to have run the table, and he will likely win the popular vote outright, something a Republican hasn’t done in two decades.

"she is a low IQ moron"

I think enough people finally figured that out. The turning point might have been the late September interview with Stephanie Rhule on MSNBC's "11th Hour."

RHULE: If you can’t raise corporate taxes, or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?

HARRIS: Well, but we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes. And we’re going to have to raise — we’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share.

That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share.

So she won't have one house of Congress and she's going to raise taxes. She reflexively falls back on "fair share" when the top 1% of earners already pay 50% of the income taxes.

"Moron" doesn't begin to describe her.

Easy ! Open boarders, the economy, Tampon Tim, trannys in girls sports, fracking, mandatory ev’s, word salad taxes, weaponized FBI’etc. are some of the reasons she lost.

Yeah, a leftist friend of mine is preaching this line, asking “if the economy is so important to you, how could you vote against your own interest for someone promoting tariffs?”

I had to remind them that Biden extended tariffs against China last May and increased some of them in September. Their response, “yeah, but he had to as a geopolitical pressure response to China’s military aggression.”

Haha, they just don’t have a clue. The sad part about that friend is that he introduced me to Rush Limbaugh back in 1990 while I was at UC Davis. I’ve yet to respond to him but I’m going to enjoy reminding him that Gen X (men and women) overwhelmingly voted for Trump and that he is the minority!

So what's the take-away here, Andrew. That Americans want a dark agenda???

Biden, Walz and Harriz lost because they thought they heard the illegal aliens saying they came here to pick strawberries when they were actually saying, “We came here for a better life.” LOL!

Trump had about million votes in 2020, Biden had a lot less.

That cheat and the obnoxious run of in your face two tiered justice system that ensued over the following 4 years did not help Harris

But it is all about how they cannot cheat now. Cheating is over now. And next cycle will be real ballots. Paper ballots. Counted by midnight the way Florida wrapped it up by 10 or 11

At that point we will see how abysmal the democrats base really is. It is very very low. Those 7 states are not close.

There is no other analysis necessary

See? Someone who writes lies like this needs a punch in the mouth.

I guarantee that if it became common knowledge that blatant liars with mass communications capability would get punched in the mouth, they would dial back the lies.

These garbage people are accusing Trump of what their side is doing. Corruption? Can't beat Joe Biden or the Clintons. Immorality? They are trying to convert children to the opposite sex, they kill babies, and they love them some queers and their weird twisted sex issues. They steal people's money and give it away to others.

You can't reason with such folk, but you can make them understand saying deliberate bullsh*t will get them a punch in the mouth.

I can say from personal experience, a punch in the mouth makes people stop saying bullsh*t about you.

It’s not hard to figure out.

Biden got 81,000,000 votes in 2020. Trump got about the same number of votes in this election as he did in 2020, 74,200,000.

Clinton got almost 65,900,000 in 2016 while Harris got around 70,400,000.

Obama got a little more than Clinton but still about 65,900,000.

From the numbers it appears a number of Democrats didn’t go out to vote for women and they’re racists when you compare Biden’s 81,000,000 to the 65,900,000 that Obama got.

There’s your answer except if you know the Democrats cheated in 2020 and the cheat wasn’t possible in 2024.

Men go to work and make fun of each other all day long.  The don't mean it.

Women go to work and all day long tell each other how beautiful they are.  They don't mean it either.

Women let down:

Women are catty and fickle

Women have decided we really are all the same and don't mind coming in a very distanct second place when a He, who says it is a she, destroys them and their aspirations.

Don’t ya just love it when a pundit purports to “get it” and to share his insight with you and then immediately launches into an utterly blood simple blind rage in his bubble rant proving that he’s just as angry and blind as ever?

Some might say the 70 per cent wrong track poll could not be overcome by any candidate.

Yet, I think those Trump they/them ads were devastating among voters who may have voted for Biden last time.

Pollsters were too timid to do much polling on the transgender issue, but I heard it said that one poll had 80 per cent against biological males playing girls sports.

I live in a deep blue state.

My county voted for Obama twice, Crooked Hillary, and Joey in the previous elections.

This time around it went for Trump.

I credit the turnaround to that they/them Trump commercial which ran constantly in the last week of the campaign.

If Biden had stayed in, I have no doubt the county would have went with the state and have stuck with him.

Maybe because she was a back stabbing opportunist.

Most Trump supporters don't like Pence very much. He stabbed the whole country in the back. Hey Pence where did all the votes go?

Sorry didn't mean to change the subject go back to the back stabbing opportunist thing

I agree with you if that includes a response to a verbal attack that crosses the line.

No. Only in the event of a physical attack or threat.
