That it's not just white people who can be racists. Ill just leave it at that. But when we nominated a woman of color, we basically tossed a fair % of NONwhite racists (we know we never get the white racists) and the misogynists (of all races) over to Trump.

But the main problem is we lost the lower middle class/working people that Biden was able to capture. Harris just wasn't able to keep that group together. Biden, even at 80% in 2020 destroyed Trump. Mainly because the working-class love Joe. They did not love Kamala, for whatever reason.

The ironic thing about Biden is he has ALWAYS been a gaff machine, has often been hot-miced saying something incendiary about Republicans. It never hurt him. He would fuck up names, dates, places, but he's kick your ass. And it NEVER hurt him. Kamala was perfect, never slipped up, not a single offensive comment. And she got trounced.

Don't get me wrong, I love Kamala and I am devastated, but American politics requires someone who has a little bit of asshole in them.

I don't know what I am saying, I am drinking here. lol
