I note Harris isn't making an overnight concession speech. I presume she's devastated.
Don't worry, it'll be banned in January and you'll never have to think about it again.Dreading SNL this week!

Aww she thinks there’ll be an election in four years.I know it's not the done thing, but I would really like Kamala to stay on and give it another go in 2028. If Trump fucks it spectacularly and she has a proper years worth of campaign and momentum behind her, I would be extremely hopeful she can improve on this.
That is assuming we have an election in 2028 and we're all still alive then.
maybe the US just isn't ready for a woman president. so many men seem unable to vote for a woman. younger men especially are too far right. women can still be manipulated into voting for a misogynistic sexual predator. maybe the story here is just that the US is still way more sexist than we'd imagined and if you give them a fantastic female candidate... they'll say thanks but we like orange.I know it's not the done thing, but I would really like Kamala to stay on and give it another go in 2028.

While I don’t disagree with you on any of this, I have the horrible feeling that this result was pre-ordained no matter who Trump’s opponent was. It looks like America had made its mind up to shit all over itself regardless of how strong the alternative was.maybe the US just isn't ready for a woman president. so many men seem unable to vote for a woman. younger men especially are too far right. women can still be manipulated into voting for a misogynistic sexual predator. maybe the story here is just that the US is still way more sexist than we'd imagined and if you give them a fantastic female candidate... they'll say thanks but we like orange.

In what world do you see what's happened and go "TIME FOR A FAGGOT"?They need to go for a Pete Buttigieg or someone similar next time: young, male, white and articulate.

It's going to be a centre-right straight man who loves God and guns.
You can't really point to much that Harris specifically did wrong, certainly compared to the mistakes that Clinton made.Sad to say, but a lot of the blame for this falls on Biden.
His decision to attempt to run for a second term despite the clear issues around his age will surely be remembered as one of the most consequential and damaging acts of hubris in modern political history.

The odd bad answer in interviews is really it. As much as I don't like it personally, I don't think her position on Israel and Palestine mattered in terms of the electoral college.
I disagree. if anything the late decision not to run handed Kamala a ton of momentum and gave Dems a golden, one-off relaunch opportunity.Sad to say, but a lot of the blame for this falls on Biden.

You've taken complete leave of your sensesI don't think any blame falls on Biden.

Once the perception took hold that Biden wasn't capable of a second term, it tainted everyone close to him by association, despite them not having a mechanism to replace him as the candidate without going nuclear and using the 25th amendment.surely nobody thinks an OPEN PRIMARY would've been a good thing for the Dems?
these people are a shitshow - they would've torn each other to shreds publicly for months and then picked the most Trump-lite white centrist and he'd be ravaged by the real thing.
because the last times they won they didn't have an open primary?surely nobody thinks an OPEN PRIMARY would've been a good thing for the Dems?
