No they aren't, and with that attitude we will continue to repeat this mistake over and over and over.
The people want change. A lot of change.
You can work 40 hours a week and barely scrape by paycheck to paycheck, and it's been like that for years.
Housing is even more unaffordable.
Nothing has changed for years.
People are angry.
Donald Trump taps into that. That is his whole message. That he is an outsider, he is not the status quo, he is the one who shakes things up. He does not listen to PR people. He says what's on his mind. He is the closest thing to a Bulworth candidate we've had in quite some time.
I personally think he is a liar and a criminal, but not everybody shares that view.
What does Kamala have going for her? She is the vice president, next in line of a succession. There is no radical reform there. It is status quo.
And let's not forget that before Biden dropped out and Kamala was crowned successor, she was pulling very low even among Democrats.
The problem is not that America refuses to hand the country over to a woman. The problem is that the DNC keeps putting forward the wrong people as candidates, and expects the whole nation to vote for them simply because they're not Republican.
It doesn't work that way.
My point is though, as long as you blame sexism or racism or whatever for Trump's win, you hide the real problem and thus prevent it from being fixed.
It NEEDS to be fixed.
For the good of the country, we (Dems) cannot expect people to just vote for us because we're not Republican. We need to offer them something better. Obama did that. That's why he won. Hope, change, yes we can. That was something better. And so he defeated a real non-crazy Republican.
Whoever is the next Democratic candidate, they need to do that. Offer a real message and a real plan. Not just 'I'm not red'.
trump is the status quo though. he stands outside nothing except decency, morality, and tolerance. if he can make someone bow to him through fear and intimidation, thats what he does. if he cant do that he insults and denigrates and lies about. he is the most status quo fucker in the country
Like ads saying Harris was too hard on Israel and too soft on Israel coming from the exact same org. Anyone with a lick of sense knows they're disingenuous, but most people are fucking stupid.
I read it as a troll statement. Americans moralize to the world about treating women equally, but Americans also don't want a woman in a position of power, so I read it as the Taliban mocking the u.s for being just like them while being hypocrites
idiots who obsess over the Koran and do not understand the least bit that virtue can only come from your own choices, not from coercion, that would be easy for god to do. This is why religion is bullshit. A devout evangelical couldn't spot the antichrist right in front of them.
If Tulsi Gabbard had been allowed to run, I'd have 100% voted for her. Kamala Harris is not the type of woman I want for president. If she were to be the first woman president, we'd never have a woman president again, because everyone would be so put off by her
