I legitimately did not believe it was possible for this to happen. There’s always a hateful minority but I believe people as a whole are good. How did this happen?

    but what could she have done better?

    She could’ve ran policies popular with her base instead of ignoring it and cozying up to Republicans. She could’ve made real campaign promises instead of just repeating “I’m not Trump” ad infinitum. She could’ve, you know, actually campaigned instead of repeating the mistakes of 2016.

      What policies would have been better to promote?

      I felt that Trump had fewer campaign promises and just as much “Kamala bad”, and it didn’t stop him from winning.

        Trump has never been able policies; Trump is a culture war candidate who says what his voters want to hear. Comparing him to dem candidates is a mistake.

          No, they obviously play by different rules. But they’re in and we’re out, and we need to figure out why or it’s going to stay that way.

        So I read the article and… Uh… Not convinced. Her platform was vague “nothing will fundamentally change” slop. I mean Biden’s term did have many good initiatives that it would be nice to keep, but yeah this ain’t it.

        However, she has not provided many details on her plans,

        We call that in plain English “not making promises”. I mean hell she couldn’t even commit to keeping Lina Khan.

        I don’t agree that she had no platform other than I’m not Trump, but she certainly shifted right as the race went on and lost more and more support as she did it
