    Imagine a group thinking Palestine swung the needle at all on US elections. ROFL…

    That is getting close to “flat earth” level of denial.

    Kamela ran a horrible, lame, corporate platform.

      Kamela ran a horrible, lame, corporate platform.

      And in a reasonable world this wouldn’t have mattered. People are unreasonable.

        Politics has always been a popularity contest? Did you not learn this in your grade school student council elections? You’re whining about human nature. People need to be inspired. They don’t give a shit about someone’s Senate voting record.

      Most importantly she committed the worst crime against the swing voters in the US by not being a man and not being white on top of that.

      I think every other explanation is wishful thinking about just how sexist and racist the average US voter is.

      You can blame lame platform or stance on Palestine, but I have a hard time believing that the explanation isn’t simply sexism + racism.

      I don’t recall Biden having an inspiring campaign, he was simply a white male that wasn’t trump and he beat him.

        You’re right if you look at the right wing attack narrative it was heavily focused on her being a progressive black women and all this scaremongering around her dei hiring and making things unfair for white people.
