When Harris was nominated, I told a friend of mine that my biggest fear was it was going to energize racists and sexists because she was black and a woman. I though she was great candidate, but the level of racism and sexism in this county is beyond insane.
- Well it's a good thing your worries were unfounded then because Trump got 72 million votes in 2020, and as of right now he's got those same 72 million votes in 2024. 10 million or so democrats sat out this election compared to 2020 and that's why Harris lost.
  
  He should have lost a few million considering the sheer number of his supporters that earned Herman Cain awards.
  
  Maybe we're a bit more racist and sexist than people are willing to admit?
  
  Or maybe it's not a simple answer? Have you considered actually thinking about what happened instead of looking for a zinger headline?
  
  Either that or states aren’t doing mail in voting since we’re not in the middle of a pandemic, so democrats had to work and didn’t get a chance to vote.
- It was actually because they gaslit people into believing that Biden was a competent candidate until like 3 months before the damn election.
  THEN didn't even hold a primary.
  And then let Kamala Harris completely train wreck the campaign and say shit like 18-24 year olds were stupid (notice how most of those votes from men for trump were around that age?) And sure, the video was taken out of context but she did say it and these dumb fucks didn't care what the context was when they see that clip droning on their TikToks and shit.
  America does have a racism and sexism problem but to tell yourself that that is the only reason she lost this election would be lying to yourself in a very major way.
  I did vote for her too, btw. First time I ever voted. But Jesus Christ the democrats just seem like they don't want to win at this point.
- Thankfully it looks like that did not happen. So far Trump got less votes than he did in 2020. It's just that Harris did not manage to get the democratic voter base off the couch.
  
  People keep saying this but they haven't finished counting the votes. In California alone only 55% of votes were counted and he had 4,000,000+ votes there. The remaining votes could easily put him past his 2020 total.
- You want this to be true because it's a simple explanation, just like Republicans. Stop being so immature and look at the actual dogshit platform she ran on and think again. You just defined confirmation bias in your comment. Doesn't make it true
