    Exactly, what made the democratic party think a biracial woman was a good candidate against Trump of all people, like clearly the country is not ready for that, all they needed was another old white guy and they just handed Trump the election instead

      Hillary won the popular vote, and Obama was one of our most popular presidents. While yes, sexism and racism played a role in Harris’ failure, it wasn’t the main problem. Her being a terrible politician, running a terrible campaign, on the coat-tails of a terrible president was the main problem.

        Hilary is a white woman, Obama first ran in 2008 which was a very different America, and his opponents were still sane people. Kamla was running against a second term Trump, everyone knows how crazy some people in this country have become the last few years, she was a bad choice regardless of her politics or Biden’s performance.
