Dems need to stop running women. I’m sorry but a minority woman is not ever going to win enough votes. 

Again, it's not because she's a woman and a minority, but because she isn't capable of doing the job

You can't laugh your way to a win, you need substance and drive

The one who is up to the job wins, colour and sex are just excuses

That doesn’t solve anything. We should be asking what’s the source of all the sexism and bigotry-and doing what’s needed to root it out of peoples minds.

We still don’t know if she would have been capable for the job.

I mean i never liked her but i don’t know.

Saying she would have been better or she would have been worse are both just opinions and not necessarily the truth.

So, they are wrong, and you are right?

So, they are great at BSing themselves.

No, she could have done the job. Trump ran an incredibly effective and powerful fear based campaign and the economy sucks.

I’m surprised how peaceful I am considering the outcome. Worst case scenario, we all merge with the light again. 

[MsNobody]

@PurpleTree what is your spiritual POV?
 

I like to think that there is a perfection in the mechanism of reality, saying it’s wrong is the same as saying God is dumb so I see the necessity for Trump’s energy to unclog the pipes of shit so the clear waters can pass through 🤣 things are exactly how they need to be, nothing is stupid, everything helps everything. 

Unfortunately the collective evolves way slower than the individual, and most people are lazy thinkers. So here we are, back to chopping wood and carrying water, the only difference now is the new clown with orange hair that is being added to the circus 🎪

@martin_malin 🤣 time to practice solipsism

I would love to vote for a woman of colour if she seems capable, honest-ish, likeable-ish, and not doing identity politics honestly.

Such people are delusional. As are progressives.

Bad optics. Dial down the identity politics. Most people do not give a single flying fuck about this nonsense. Most people do not vibe with identity politics. If you want to pass such policies, then have a well put together male candidate rather than some sloppy DEI hire. 

Imagine if Tulsi Gabbard or Arnold Schwarzenegger or any well put together male or female were in the cards.

I'm so tired of identity politics. Its politically divisive and it makes democrats look irrational and aloof. So much for progressiveness.

She didn't show any strength, everything just screams bleak from her

 

I meant it in a way the one who shows strength. You need a strong candidate, which she wasn't. And when you have a strong and charismatic person, you have the chances to win. And  then it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman.

People keep justyfing the loss because she's a woman of colour, completely disregarding the real issue.

Sincere question, I wonder how much of the results of this election were influenced by Harris’s race and gender.

Well i’ve been addicted to non duality recently and made a thread about it. So now i basically think we don’t exist. Reality just kind of does what it wants. It’s not about us. It’s energy and there basically is no right and wrong. 🦭

Yet people vote for a guy like Trump, who is white/male and is proven to have none of the characteristics you mentioned. See the double standard?
