    The fact is that many Americans wouldn’t vote for a woman, and combining that with the ones who wouldn’t vote for a person of colour is a bad idea

    So long as a progressive is a possibility and not one femtosecond longer.

    I do think that the fact she wouldn’t support Palestine/condemn Israel was a factor too, but if she had, that would have set Israel against her and lost more votes

    So we have to (and you get to) support genocide forever too!

      Not sure why I’m being down voted - I would have noted for kamala and I wish she was president. I’m saying that if there’s an option to take a risk now when failure means death then it’s best to not take the risk and wait for a time when the alternative is only pain. Trump was death, we all knew. Not a good time to take a risk. It would have been better to wait to take a risk in trying to elect a woman for the first time in a country of people who think its okay for a person held to the highest standards in the land to say ‘grab em by the pussy’, pay women for sex and be a rapist of women. Even aside from the racism. If you don’t see that then I’m shocked.

        It’s neat how quickly timidity develops when the party wants to shut out a progressive. That’s the only thing this has ever been about.

            I guess you know the party is going to shut out progressives forever and love it.

            And I get that every centrist interprets all criticism of their party as trump support, but I voted for Harris.
