Literally every developed country in the world voted out incumbents in the most recent election. I do think racism and misogyny have to be considered as a factor, but there is no single factor why the better candidate lost.
List below was posted earlier on how bad a candidate both Trump and Kamala were .....Trump improved and was brilliant at the he end with the McDonald's and Garbage Truck deals as example. Thus he won.
Ms. Harris was likely the poorest candidate the Dems ever had since McGovern. Results showed that.
But Kamela was a disaster......K2
🌀 Beyond a poor communicator, word salads, and repeats nonsensical items when asked direct questions.
🌀 Slow on getting policy out, thus independents know little about her
🌀 Flip flops = untrustworthy
🌀 Some of her policies make no sense to the problems @ hand
🌀 The Seinfeld Candidate....a campaign about nothing but laughs & giggles. - Joy doesn't pay the grocery bill for MC.
🌀 VP Choice does not appeal to independent voter, and show K2s extreme radical tendencies she is trying to hide.
🌀 Refuses to do needed interviews to capture independent voters
🌀 K1, K2, accents, silence.....No one knows who she is. Thus, people are left with her less than poor record of last 4 years
🌀 Reputation and manner of a poor leader. Skipped out on responsibilities of office given, like the border, and 92% of her own staff hated her & left.
🌀. Bad reputation of last 4 years.....high tax rep of party, lead over 52% to think they will be taxed more. 58% see her as more of the same bad policy. Hasn't been able to communicate that away.
🌀 K2 comes off as phony & fake to middle Americans.
