    I am not trying to be political or upset anybody of either side. I blame Joe Biden for this, before you judge or get upset or disagree with me–just wait. I believe this is particularly the reason she lost. She was left only from July to November to figure out her platform, determine a potential running mate, and come up with ideas.

    Usually they start campaigning around the midterms leaving nearly 2 years. She only had 4-5 months to prepare. She had limited amount of time to prepare her political campaign, to figure out her agenda how to get her message out there to everybody. Wait for time for people to hear it. They were not sure of her policies, they thought she was just an extension of Joe Biden because she didn’t have time.

    This is just one factor. She did a very excellent job for the few months she had left. She could have done a better job if Joe Biden had not ran a second term.

    Then it upset people that Democrats didn’t hold an open primary. She would have still won most likely, but for the younger generation and others. It was a turn off, they said it was a form of tyranny. (Of course it wasn’t. Even Republican party in 2020 cancelled primaries in some states)

    Then you had states cleaning up the ‘voting rolls’ people didn’t realize they were unregistered, and ran out of time to register again. In a lot of states, I don’t believe you can register on the day you vote. I might be wrong though.

      No she is rightfully to blame. Her platform was “Nothing will change” and “Israel has a right to defend itself”. If she would have not said those 2 things she would have won.

        Well I’m pretty sure with a longer campaign he team would’ve figured out “I’ll keep doing what Biden is doing” was a losing message and dropped it. I don’t think there was any chance of them acknowledging the genocide in Gaza by Nov '24, because the general public hadn’t come around on it by then.

        I don’t know if that would’ve changed the outcome.

        Biden should’ve kept his promise to be transitional and let there be an honest to god Democratic primary.

          She pushed a very popular and likable Tim Walz out of the way to put a fucking Cheney front and center. Cheney are historically evil people.
