I'm not sure whether they really lost or not. But here is what I am sure of:
Kamala Harris is and was fully capable of being president of the United States. We don't need to go shopping around for someone better. She is highly qualified.
Tim Walz is highly qualified and an effective leader. Every time he speaks I am impressed. There was nothing wrong with the Democratic ticket, nothing at all.
The electorate had less time than usual to make a choice. But how much time do you really need if you're paying attention? TSF had already been impeached twice, convicted on 34 felony counts, and had many more legal problems on his plate. He was a HORRIBLE choice for president. Kamala Harris was Vice President for 4 years. She had been in highly visible government positions for many years before that. Its not hard to find information on her service. She was an EXCELLENT choice for president.
A lot of people put more thought into buying a pair of shoes than voting for president. They don't know how to figure out what is going to be good for them and for the country. We are each given a little bit of power to choose when we vote. But some people just throw it away on garbage or never spend it at all.
I don't think the problem is our candidates or our party or our messaging. I think the problem is that Americans are so dumbed down by social media and bad tv that they can no longer make intelligent choices. I have no idea how to fix that. But I don't think we do that by dumbing down our party for people who only relate to celebrities and don't care the least bit about democracy.
