Not discounting it that her gender had something to do with the result, but come on. As if she wasn't also a genocide supporter, a political insider, held a high position in a government that oversaw a period with economic hardship for many people. Also she had an charisma of a house plant, likability of a piece of two by four and ran on a campaign that's main message was "I'm not the the other guy". But yes her being a black woman and people being misogynistic and racist was the main issue.
Not that I care, but nothing gets fixed if people hold these ridiculous analyses of why she lost. It will be the same mistakes done after every four years.
You obviously don't understand economics nor how the US government works very well. Educate yourself before you get all high and mighty.
If you mean that the Trump also stands for those things like genocide, then sure. It still didn't make Kamala any more likable.
Username checks out, at least.
I think you want to direct that at the people who voted for Trump, not the people pointing out why others voted for Trump.
Unfortunately you can't expect the entire voting public to be aware and knowledgable about all this shit, and the candidates still need to appeal to those voters to win. Which plays a decent role in why Kamala lost.
Literally no u if you think these things have anything to do with who wins a presidential election. These matter after you win (I distinguish between economics as a science and the economy itself here); who wins a presidential election is determined by how people feel about each candidate and that has nothing to do with any of the two things you listed.
