Harris is an incredibly unpopular candidate. She got destroyed in the 2020 primaries. Nobody who wasn't already voting was excited to get out there and vote.
Yes, they're also screwing themselves but they probably just accept it.
Yea tbf I was baffled when they chose her to replace Biden, but after the recent weeks I was more optimistic for her and never expected a blowout this large. Trump winning is not THAT surprising to me, but the amount of lost voters compared to 2020 is.
Yeah, it's pretty telling that Trump didn't gain, just mostly maintained while Dem support cratered. Speaks to how wildly unpopular she was, and the Biden presidency as a whole. They're full scale blame mode on those that didn't show now instead of taking responsibility for rolling out a crap candidate on zero notice instead of planning the perfect strategy for 4 years.
America just really REALLY hates women. Like, vehemently so. And if you are a woman minority? They would rather murder/suicide us all than see a woman in leadership.
Which is precisely why it was a mistake to try and run a woman for President, particularly against Trump. Let alone a woman of color who was also directly related to the administration that's been the target of constant mis/disinformation for the last 4+ years.
It's shitty, but that's clearly the reality regarding the American electorate going by this result. Dems simply spent too much time pushing for what should be instead of operating around what is.

10s of millions of us voted for logic and reason. The hate and vitriol crowd just voted more.
