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

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?

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

No, I think the dems need to focus less on gender/identity and more on the actual politics. 

Kamala didnt lose because shes black or woman, but because she's obviously completely incompetent as a canditade and has a very dislikeable personality .

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

Yea but it’s impossible to answer that question. Hillary was white. Obama won. We didn’t have a great woman of colour candidate. Even most dems said she isn’t that great.

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.

Their excuse of reverting to identity politics is one of the very reasons they lost.

Yea there are many reasons to vote for a candidate sometimes it’s honesty, sometimes better of two evils, sometimes anti establishment, sometimes economic , sometimes immigration, sometimes liberalism, sometimes conservatism, etc. I don’t care about politics enough to explain reasons why people voted for Trump to you but i think you know many of them.

 

There are a lot of double standards, blindspots etc. going on with Trumpers for sure though.

When I hear Kamala talk I feel nauseous. She constantly sounds condescending. Am I the only one feeling that way? It feels like a big factor in her loss but I haven't heard anyone talking about it.

[mojsterr]

She comes out fake AF. Trump doesn't.

 

And her fakest laugh in the whole world makes me want to throw things. And she just doesn't stop. It's like putting it up to 11.

That is nonsense and if you actually believe this it shows how brainwashed many stage greens are by their peer groups and establishment pop culture. Would love to see Tulsi Gabbard as a capable president as an example, or Vivek ramaswamy.  Are the deficiencies of Kamala Harris not evident to you? She started off lying about her racial makeup just to try to win support of targetted minority groups. Total dishonesty across the board in her policy beliefs versus what she campaigned on. No authenticity. No humanness, no opening up about herself. Admitting mistakes made under Biden.  She was an empty vessel.

Loved Tulsi until she betrayed Bernie and then became a Russian stooge.

She was much more likeable and seemed more capable than Kamala for sure though to me.

Kamala's open border policy and woke agenda will dismantle América

 

Trump peace though strength is a great oportunity to stop global wars 

 

Cannot believe in a better world with kamala in power

 

 

 

How can you believe that when his stance on war is so blatant Do whatever you like just don't do it to me.  Are you so self-centered that you don't give a damn about what happens to people under the 'protection' of psychopathic narcissists?

To me it's the same as with the question of why women go for "bad boys" rather than the nice guys.

Even if the bad boys are *perhaps* worst for them in the end, they are sincere and authentic in who they are and don't give a fuck what the woman thinks of him, and people love sincerety far more than anything.

No one trusts Kamala.

How can you trust someone like Tulsi? Just randomly flips her political ideology and political allegiance midway through her career.

Predicted the Trump win back in August.

World War 3 here we come...

Completely hallow of any values was my perception of her. Not that Trump wasn't without the shady qualities aswell. But in comparison he stood out for me.
