Unfortunately, both ran against someone who followed hitler’s playbook and goebbels’ propaganda techniques. Those worked on the most vulnerable: poor, uneducated, lifelong “victims.” And those same folks are poor due to trickle-down economics & con men who take their money.
Exactly. 40-odd years of trickle-down has left deep despair and disenchantment with the government, that they call "the deep state." Even that term itself reveals that they don't understand what hit them. A couple of years of Bidenomics was not enough to turn it around.
I’m in Norway now. I gave my granddaughters pictures of Kamala when she was a child with Madam President stickers. They are more likely to have a woman PM here first
Thank you! I love this country and I am so glad my grandchildren will be raised truly free. Such a great culture. I always tell them how lucky they are.
Here’s the part that will kick you in the gut: they actually both won. Hillary won the popular vote and Kamala was the true winner this time but Trump/Musk/Putin cheated by hacking the software at the tabulation level. (Google Spoonamore Duty To Warn letter)
Not American but I almost weep,just imagining what wonders we might have seen and how hope has just been destroyed for so many,it hurts deep down to the bones
I’ll never get over it as long as I live. We coulda had it so good. We coulda had it so fucken good. But no. We just couldn’t get it done. Either times.
No kidding, this particular wound is never going to heal. I’ve got my Hilary and Kamala pins right next to each other above my desk; think about them every day.
Very. What a tragic waste and to our collective detriment. Sad that so many Americans need to learn lessons from a time that many of us learned back in high school. So many of us are just swept up in it now. The only way is through. 😒😏
2016 was one of those moments in the timeline of history that will always be a huge “WHAT IF”
When I think about how 🇺🇸would be different &on a different path ….💔
THIS one, I can’t begin to even think about.
My mind can’t wrap itself around it at all.
I will never, not to my dying day, forgive Bernie Sanders for 2016 (when he sandbagged Hillary Clinton, 2020 (when he sandbagged Elizabeth Warren), and 2024 (when he continually criticized Kamala Harris and whined about economic inequality when he damn well knew Trump was a woman-hating fascist).
There is a sci-fi series about an alternate universe waiting to be made here. “What if Al Gore and Hillary and Kamala had all won?” (Utopian Moon Colony opens first University in Space)
I knew we had a country full of morons, but I didn’t realize how hateful spiteful and absolutely ignorant stupid to the detriment of their own lives dumb …
I know it’s extremely disappointing! When I think back on my career; in all the 30 years and all the bosses I’ve had.. all of the consequential, smartest, most competent ones were women!
Both of these women would’ve/could have ran the country way better than Trump can or will ever do.
Then you need to speak to the 53% of the white women who voted against Kamala Harris. They played a major role in making sure Trump got his second term.
hoping our country can move some day out of the misogyny that pervades ...
so many white men raised with issues in America --
we need to work even harder to get past "traditional" roles of how women are viewed in our society
