“Even worse” is an odd way to say “black woman”. I am not accusing you of sexism or racism; I am saying there is enough sexism and racism in the US to account for the difference in total popular vote, and certainly to account for the 115k votes that won the election for Trump.
Had Walz been top of the ticket with exactly the same campaign and policies, he would have won. It sucks and it’s an indictment of the country, but pretending otherwise doesn’t help.

- Aloisius 2y agoSo it wasn't just that she is a black woman, but also that you believe she was a DEI hire because she is a black woman?
- tim333 2y agoMaybe that wasn't the best way to put it but did you see her on stage saying 200 million Americans died from covid? Twice. I think someone of even moderate competence would be able to figure it's not true over half the US population was dead. It seems to me the only way she was lined up to be president was for reasons other than competence.
- Aloisius 2y agoYou think she's dim because she misspoke and said million instead of thousand? Have... have you heard Trump speak? Or lifelong gaffe machine Biden? Or Bush Jr? Even Obama misspoke from time to time and he was a particularly gifted orator.
- bongoman42 2y agoThere's zero chance of that. Democrats didn't even trust their own base to have a primary for Kamala because she would repeat her 2019 primary performance.
- psychlops 2y agoOne gamble her campaign made was that more people would vote for her specifically because she was black and/or female. I doubt there are any hard numbers, but I'd guess that number far overrode any racism/sexism vote. Walz suggested he may run for 2028 so we may get lucky enough to witness your prediction. I'd bet against him winning more than one state before primaries.
