      Reasons people didn’t vote for her, in descending order of significance, as measures by number of votes lost.

      Being a woman Being black Working with Biden Punishing Biden / Dems Actual personality Actual policy

      To paraphrase Richard Nixon “Computers may be ten times smarter than they were in the 60s, but the average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever”

        Being a woman [is the primary reason people didn’t vote for Harris]

        Reminder that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

        Jesus, Nixon was an idiot. Computers don’t get “smarter.”

        You failed to list her support for fascist Israel, her money from billionaires, and her attachment to Joe Biden’s policies and their relation to the economy. Face it, she was a status quo liberal and we’re past that IMO. The people were never going to vote for Joe 2.0. Joe fucked up big time too. He didn’t help his case by dropping out at the last minute. I know a lot of folks that were pissed the DNC skipped primaries even given the time constraint.

        I say all this and I still voted for her. I won’t make the same mistake voting for these liberals again though. The meta has changed. Trump has changed everything.

          Jesus, Nixon was an idiot. Computers don’t get “smarter.”

          This is honestly a ridiculous, petty criticism, especially of someone in the 1960s/70s.

          Even today, half a century later, it’s not an uncommon colloquialism among the general public to describe advancement in computer technology as them ‘getting smarter’. Have you not noticed the Big Thing in computing now, that everyone is calling “AI”? That stands for “artificial intelligence”. And it’s not accurate today, either. But I wouldn’t say “Jesus, you’re an idiot” to anyone calling it that. Would you?
