Many Americans can't deal with a woman candidate for President much less a minority as well, it's as simple as that.

Know what you are and stay between the lines. Put a white man upfront if you wanna win.

    As a Kamala voter most people I know chose to not vote because she's a cop(DA is close enough) and genocide supporter..

    The sort of people willing to vote in someone who's neither white or a man, aren't willing to vote in another useless do-nothing neolib.

    Fucking run AOC. NO ONE UNDER 40 WANTS NEOLIBERALISM. Its not fucking hard dude. We want free medical care and UBI. We want billionaires to stop existing.

    But yeah continue to ignore literally everyone who decided not to vote, I'm sure that will get them to the polls next time around.

    Like JFC, progressives have a popular enough platform to get a man of Islamic faith to smoke the NYC Mayoral Election like no ones business. Open your fucking eyes.

    2/3 of the voters didn't vote for Kamala and effectively voted, not voting is a vote, against their own interests. For many of them, it wasn't about the policies or what her position was. It was because she was a minority woman.

    If you don't acknowledge the fact that many Americans are either misogynists, racists, or both, nothing will change.

    Of course a giant chunk of people are bigots. They're called trump voters, and anyone they'd elect is someone not worth electing.

    The people we need are the ones who didn't vote, and they overwhelming talk about specific policy issues with Kamala, they saw Trump as a non-starter because he's a bigoted greedy piece of shit.

    Non voters caused all the problems, and most people bitching on Lemmy/reddit did not vote.

    Yeah that's my point. If you run someone the non-voters want to vote for THEY'LL ACTUALLY GO OUT AND VOTE.

    Its crazy what actually having a personal incentive to vote will do.

    The DNCs blatant ignoring of every issue relevant to voters (including genocide support) has managed to make a "D" by any candidates name an actual hindrance to winning these days. The Democratic party brand is about as trashed as it could possibly be. "I" is what people want to see next to a candidates name.

    I'm tired of this argument. It's a bit baseless. Americans are fine with women in politics. There are many who get elected in both parties. Republicans, the party of sexism, fkn loved Sarah Palin

    Americans don't like genocide. Americans don't like prosecutors. Americans don't like phony squares who talk down to them with means-testing and tax credits

    You are getting down voted for the truth. USA loves their leader pale, male and stale and would rather vote some demented grandpa over a woman. A woman of any color? Look how the US got triggered with Obama to civil war.

    TLDR; the next election will not change much.
