    Harris and Clinton lost because not enough Americans voted for them and being women and in Harris’s case being black and Indian was a reason for a lot of people not to vote.

        Clinton won the popular vote . Thr problem is your trashy two party system that americans never tried to change for over a century.

        Instead of crying about the past, you should fight for a better future

        Clinton support all the american wars by the way

          your trashy two party system that americans never tried to change

          They’ve tried to change it repeatedly. Everyone from Ralph Nader to Ross Perot to George Wallace to Eugene Debbs have lead caucuses to try to change it.

          Instead of crying about the past

          Those who ignore the past…

          But then you’ve got folks who really do believe the problem with the Democratic Party is that they try to win women’s votes at all. All to often, I see the complaint aimed at the two-party system that it’s one party too many.

          It is being held up as an excuse within the liberal party to keep women down. The message the party leadership wants to send is that they ran a flawless campaign and the voters failed them.

          Always and forever, folks like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries want you to believe they need to embrace fascism in order to win elections. Had Harris or Clinton won, we’d have been told they were only victorious because they campaigned to the right of their progressive base. Now that they’ve lost, they get to argue the need to purge feminists from the party if they want another chance at the majority.
