Voters don't lose elections, campaigns do. Harris failed, and this kind of "turning around of the blame" thing that Dems try to do is one of the reasons why they don't win elections: they never learn.

The reality is that Trump voters were (are?) dumb as rocks and tricked by simple populist messaging. There was nothing harris could've done short of succumbing to populism herself, and cloaking her campaign in dishonesty, fear, and simpleton reasoning.

Maybe she shouldve done that, but you can see why she didn't.

Then, there's no hope for America. Why bother running a candidate? Waste of money that could be spent on local elections.

The reality is, Kamala could have won that election. Quite easily as well:

1. Don't send bill Clinton to Dearborn to lecture people on how it's ok to bomb Palestine actually

2. Don't try to pivot right on immigration, instead turn hard left: argue for citizenship for all undocumented immigrants with no criminal history

3. Ignore all culture war issues, focus on affordability and nothing else. Promise to raise taxes for the rich, end subsidies for oil and gas companies, and stop sending billions to Israel and other American imperialist vassals
