Hopefully dems nominate someone who actually has soul instead of a walking checklist like Kamala. Oh, who am I kidding? They won’t learn anything from this either.

Was that really the issue? She felt pretty "souly" to me. I'm wondering if it's more voter turnout and people not being ready to vote for a woman (for whatever reason).

I mean was Biden really above and beyond Harris? He beat Trump, and Trump arguably has even less going for him this election.

It was Martin Prince vs Bart Simpson.

She ran a traditional campaign on issues, Trump got them chanting "More asbestos" difference is they voted.

The Dems need to realise that this is now a popularity contest and you have to fight a cult of personality with a cult of personality.

He beat Trump,

Yes, but after four years of being traumatized by Trump voters would have turned out for a blow-up doll. The same will probably happen in four years' time, I reckon.

I'd say Harris actually had a lot more "Not Trump" energy than Biden could ever muster, but her inability to promise the voting anything other than just more of the same and the fact that Biden and the Dems have actually done zilch to stop the right-wing insanity in the past four years just demoralized the voting public.
