You know, we are 100 % advocates of free speech and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are free to say anything they want. But what they’re saying is an embarrassment. They often seem clueless about what happened last year.
Biden supporters say that if he had stayed on the ballot, he would have won. No one else believes that. Moreover, if he had gotten out more sooner and been more not worried about everything else, his own wife said he was too tightly scheduled and he needed more rest in 24. How in the hell did she and others expect he to last four more years as president of the United States?
Harris says, if I had more time, I might’ve won. She was ahead a month out and then she steadily lost ground. She didn’t pick a very good running mate like Josh Shapiro because he was too ambitious and wanted to be involved in everything. That should be the role of a vice president as my dear friend, the late Dick Moe outline for Carter and Mondale years ago.
Jack Kennedy picked LBJ who was more ambitious than Josh Shapiro because the most important thing was to win. Harris had a chance to break with some policies starting with her convention speech, break with some Biden policies, she blew it. I don’t believe Donald Trump’s 2024 election was a sure thing, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made it so.
I don’t have the same impression of the election. I liked her platform. Her opponent did not have a platform except tariffs and hate. I think the mistake was there wasn’t a real convention…no one ran against her and the impression many held was that she wasn’t a real selection…that she was forced on them. So they didn’t vote. Plus, coming from a woman’s perspective, it feels like this country still isn’t ready for a woman to be elected president. But I appreciate your perspective in your article.
We will never know but Tim Waltz was a great choice. It is her campaign managers that told Waltz to stop the "weird" comment, which propelled them to initial success. Quite frankly, the entire 2024 Dem strategists are to blame. They were God awful.
I end by saying this, how can you not combat the Trans issue or not do things to motivate the base. Ie: ignoring black media, no bro podcasts, etc.
We will learn from this.
