And she was the damage control. Joe was on track to lose Virginia, Minnesota, New Mexico, Maine....

[BloodKnightDollfie]

Where did she go? Fox news saying her and Biden haven't been seen or heard from since last night after Trump started winning. No statement/concession call/anything. Gone. Did they flee the country? I hope so. Even Hillary did consneed uwu

I believe I said it at the time, but their best bet would've been to stick with Joe because Biden was the only Democrat who was even remotely competitive with Trump

But then, if they'd done that, people might've had questions about why he didn't get anywhere near 81 million votes this time

[CuckTurdginson]

I doubt it. As someone on the other side, Joe's debate performance was pretty unwatchable. Probably the worst a candidate's done at a debate in my lifetime. Made Dan Quayle look like JFK.

People broke for Trump this time. Consumer confidence is in the fucking toilet, poverty is up. That's never benefited the incumbent. Ever.

I was waiting for this when I heard that Dearborn was going Trump's way.

Biden obviously wasn't going to win, which is why they dumped him, but he would have been more competitive with Trump.

Don't ask me why but Biden had some working class appeal. Would've made Pennsylvania and the other Rust Belt states a least a bit more of a squeaker for Trump. Kamala has no working class appeal whatsoever, and indeed her campaign was very much a 'Let them eat cake' obnoxious display of Ivory Tower elitism. I mean, how the fuck was Oprah Winfrey supposed to move the needle for working class voters in rural Pennsylvania? Nobody gives a fuck what Oprah Winfrey thinks, and the ones who do were probably going to vote for Kamala anyway

Biden had nostalgia on his side. That's all it was. That is why he was elected the first time. I don't know why, but there are people out there who look back on the Obama presidency fondly and Biden represented that Obama presidency. That's why they carried water for Biden for SO long, when it was very clear to the whole world that he was senile.

Kamala was just Hillary 2.0 with even more donor money thrown around. I honestly thought that strategy might work. I thought that people were so fed up with Trump at this point that Kamala would win by being "not Trump." I did not expect a historic defeat. Monumental defeat. A defeat so massive that it becomes the first of its kind on the history books! A career-defining, personality-defining defeat. Kamala lost to a former president who ran previously and himself lost. She lost to a 78 year-old man at least half of the country hates. But they still liked him more than they liked Kamala.

I'm going to side with Turgid on the whole replacement thing though. Biden was not fit to run. The Dems tried to run him initially anyway and then that plan fell apart when the whole country saw how senile he was. Nobody will vote for a senile candidate. They HAD to replace him. But they didn't have to replace him so late in the game and they didn't have to replace him with Kamala. I'm pretty sure that if you go back far enough in the political threads here, you will find plenty of people saying the same thing. Biden needed replacing and we know why. But the way they did was poor. Kamala wasn't the right candidate and even if she had been, leaving the swap until the last minute shattered voter confidence in the party.

The working class also likes Walz, guy's net worth is under 1 million dollars. That having been said, choosing him carries a "what if George McGovern picked Mondale in 1972" vibe to it. He likely also did a lot of damage control.

Walz was definitely a bone thrown to the liberal base, but he just never made an impression on me in the election cycle. Don't know if anyone else feels the same or not. Since Kamala didn't run in the primaries, she and Walz didn't have a proper run up. Additionally, Kamala outright sabotaged their campaign by pissing off the democrat base on Israel and Gaza.

Voters look around everywhere in their lives and they see a fucked-up country. They turn on the news and see kids dying to US weapons. Kamala is asked what she would change and she says "nothing." LMAO

I'm not sure that's it. I think it's more that Biden is viewed as sensible moderate and elder statesman than it is anything to do with Obama.

To call Kamala Hillary 2.0 is actually a bit of an insult to Hillary. To be clear, I don't like Hillary Clinton, I think she's a fucking sociopath. But at least Hillary was intelligent, at least you could believe that Hillary could do the job. Kamala Harris is just a fucking airhead. She can't even articulate the policy (and indeed she was advised to keep a lot of her policy positions secret because they would have been wildly unpopular and absolutely destroyed her if they had become known). There was nothing there with Harris.

But they still liked him more than they liked Kamala.

I honestly think a lot of the Trump hatred is massively overblown. People who aren't insane and aren't massively propagandised by the media at worst probably think he's just a blowhard

He made an impression on me as a fucking idiot.
