(95,981 posts)44. IMO Kamala ran a flawless campaign with only one thing wrong: she lacked a penis
On the night of the election I was stunned at the stupidity of my fellow Americans. I was utterly gobsmacked by the misogyny.
Look at this sequence:
**Barack Obama, a charismatic black man, ran against John McCain, a white war hero, and won.
**Hillary Clinton, one of the most highly qualified people to ever seek the presidency, ran against Trump, a clown and a bankrupt and an admitted sexual assaulter with no government experience. She lost the male bankrupt assaulter won.
**Joe Biden, a highly qualified man, returned he won against Trump.
**Kamala Harris, another highly qualified person, a woman, ran against Trump, who was by this time a twice impeached, 34 times indicted, convicted of sexual assault (ie rape), visibly declining old man who was still a clown and a bankrupt. And he won.
Please notice the pattern.

OP
We need another choice: Kamala Harris won against trump and we need a forensic audit of all the swing states

President Biden might have won the Electoral College if he were four years younger.

I think Harris ran one of the best political campaigns I've ever seen, but in the end we have to face

Since we never had a primary, I don't know who would have thrown their hat in the ring

Given what I know now, I think Biden should have declined to run for a second term and we should have had a primary.

After Biden dropped out we were stuck with Harris, there was no other plausible option

Great! Another "everyone-shit-on-Harris" post, disguised as a poll. What fun!
