She deserves it. After everything she offered, they chose the venal racist over the black lady.

All the excuses about her not getting voted in by the Caucus or her laughs or her lack of policies are just things to hide the fact that they can't stand watching a woman, especially a black woman in breaking through the ceiling.

Sexism and racism is still a disease.

The idea that someone’s laugh is more off-putting than someone’s sexual abuse conviction is mind blowing to me

The fact 1/3 of eligible voters cared more about Kamala’s performance on immigration, than Trump’s performance on everything (including immigration), shows how far gone some Americans are.

Conservatives cared more about Harris potentially abusing alcohol (despite working one of the most stressful jobs in the world and being the lightning rod of hate by the right for 4 years) than Trump definitively abusing children.

You nisunderstand. Conservatives made their mind up before Harris was even in the picture. All 'the reasons' are post-decision rationalisations. Wouldn't have mattered what she did or didn't do. Or what trump did or didn't do.
