    And yet Harris was so fucking unpopular that people refused to vote for her in states other Democrats won.

    Is that really surprising, considering that she said herself that she wouldn’t deviate from anything Biden did before?

      Biden got an extra 6M votes.

      Of course, Biden had to slog through a primary with stiff opposition from a socialist challenger. Meanwhile, Harris was handed the nomination absent any democratic input.

          States that happily vote for Joni Ernest and Sarah Huckabee Sanders don’t get to write themselves off as misogynist.

          Conservatives that nominated Hershall Walker and Tim Scott and Wesley Hunt don’t get to hide behind the race card.

          If Harris were a Republican, she’d be doing fine.
