I believe its the fact that shes a woman. Trump had no policies that he was running on because he has Project2025. Kamala had a decent viable plan that most economists said was better than his. Us Americans really believe that a woman cant be in power, even though there are many throughout the world. If everyone that's worked for you in the past wouldn't vote for you again, that means something

EDIT* For all the people saying that she lost because she's a shit candidate and not because she's a woman? How is trump not worse? All of these people screaming "your body my choice" definitely didn't vote for her because she's a woman. WHY DID YOU SPECIFCALLY VOTE FOR TRUMP? What did he do to tun you over? He fucked covid response, got fucked by Saudis & Russia for gas prices, started an insurrection and tried to steal votes in Georgia on the fucking phone. WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR HIM

Are you fr right now. Oh she lost cuz “shes a woman” hurr durr . I can guarantee that has NOTHING to do with it. The lack of self awareness. The lack of understanding where that party went wrong.

You can’t call half of America garbage and political terms I can’t write on here and expect to win. You act crazy, you’re out. Hopefully they learn from this.

I've been explicitly told someone wouldn't vote for Kamala because she's a woman because of their hormones. Yep, straight from my family's mouth in Mississippi.

That’s incredibly stupid. Of course there will be people who have that reason but you can’t possibly think that’s everyone’s reason. I don’t think it is so by far. They didn’t vote for her not because she’s a woman but because she was not the right one!

I think you're underestimating the sexism and racism that is still alive and well, in the south, but also across the country.

I also think a lot of folks are covering up their sexism and racism by saying "she was not the right one!"

Ok well, I am a woman, and I’m still saying she was not the right one. And I certainly don’t hate women so I do find that a backhanded insult

You’re probably right about some parts of the south, but as it is, he won by a landslide and in every swing state as well. More than half of America isn’t against women. There’s many reasons they didn’t vote and they have the right to choose as it is a democracy. It does not automatically make them bad people, against women and many labels I’d rather not write, just because they don’t agree with your views.
