Alright, the dust has largely settled, post mortem time on why it went wrong for Kamala:
>The vast majority of exit polls are indicating this was about the economy. Whether you can attribute that to the Biden administration or the post pandemic recovery period is utterly irrelevant to the average voter. It happened under Biden's watch. Voters associated Kamala as the continuity candidate for the current state of economic affairs. She was doomed from the start. The Trump team nailed it on the head by hammering home the simple question of; are you better off now or when I was in charge?
>She lost the POC voting bloc, particularly with males. Latino and black men abandoned her in the droves. I think this is largely down to her west coast elite upbringing just not resonating with POC men. It also doesn't help that she was the Attorney General of California, and if I'm not mistaken, locked a lot of POC men up during her tenure. Not a great image for securing POC votes.
Just genuinely a horrendous pick from the Democrats in hindsight. I'm starting to think she might actually be worse than Hillary.
Of course she was worse than Hillary—let's not forget she was an "also ran" in 2020. She was never considered a serious candidate for anything; when Biden stepped down and the DNC didn't hold a primary, it had the same energy of crossing their fingers and hoping things would just work out.
>She relied to heavily on vibes and not enough on policy. In retrospect I really think we should have been sounding the alarm bells as her short lived campaign went on. Seriously, I never once heard of a policy position or a concrete step by step plan on how she was going to fix the economy or deal with Gaza if she was to take over. She really just thought coconut memes and brat girl summer tik tok edits were gonna win her the white house. This is untrue, however. Kamala had several policy positions which she discussed frequently, such as
- Expanding the child tax credit, and wanting to cut taxes for middle class families in general
- Providing first time home buyers with $25K to help with down payments
- ACA expansion
- She wanted to stop price fixing by landlords
- Protecting and strengthening Medicare and Social Security
- Restoring Roe v Wade
...among others.
You can criticize these policy positions by saying she didn't have a concrete step-by-step plan—but I would argue this is totally irrelevant and wouldn't have made a difference. I think you nailed it on your first and third bullet points. She was doomed from the start. The MAGA cult is literally just too big now, and I genuinely believe that we were going to lose no matter what. But she DID discuss policy and she had several of them, especially compared to Trump who had tariffs, and uh.... uh.... uh.... wanting to glass Palestine?... Wanting to kill minorities?... Trump was the one who lacked policies, but policy literally doesn't matter anymore.
The most salient observation you can make, I think, is that she was a generally lame and uncharismatic woman running against an extremely charismatic cult leader in an increasingly racist and misogynistic country where being a liberal is seen as being soft and weak and uncool. The democrats have utterly forgotten the concept of charisma—they don't know how to be inspiring anymore. Trump knows how to inspire people with sub 100 IQs, and that's how you win. In this country, that has proven to be an unbeatable strategy.
Yeah perhaps I should have rephrased "policy" with "messaging". I don't doubt she had cogent policies that would have actually benefitted the American people but she just never hammered them home. Winning in politics is 50% policy and 50% brand image it seems. And yeah, in fairness to her, she literally only had two months to run a campaign, but what you've just listed is the first I'm hearing of most of those policies. Go back to 2020 Biden and he couldn't stop bellowing his actions plan from the rooftops. Her communication strategy was just plain bad.

Cba doing a full graph, but as a fellow limey let me chuck in my two cents:
Unfortunately I think AZ is lost. The data for the last few weeks seems to indicate a flip back to Trump. Nevada could hold blue but I'm about 55/45 on it.
Rust belt states I think she has in the bag. Pennsylvania could also be super tight but I think she'll grab it by a cunt hair.
I think she might also nab Georgia. Exit polls indicating abortion as a major issue for voters.
Ultimately I think there's gonna be a big sleeper Kamala vote on the horizon. I don't think it's as close as the polls are suggesting imo.

First exit polls out, democracy is the biggest issue nationwide, higher even than the economy. Women voters also up like 5 percentage points since 2020.
Who here is coconut pilled yet.

The other day, there was a cowardly Harkonnen attempt on my life. They sent a hunter-seeker drone but I miraculously survived, like no one has ever done before. And now many Fremen are saying 'Donald, you're the one. You're the Lisan al-Ghaib.' They see it, I see it, the whole galaxy sees it. They want me to lead them to victory, and you know what? I think I just might. Our enemies are all around us, folks, and in so many futures they prevail. But there is a narrow way through—very, very narrow—but we're going to walk it, and once we do, the spice is going to flow like never before. We're going to make Arrakis great again, believe me.

Saw Oppenheimer last week. Not really feeling the hype. I respect the source material and how it was adapted, but this *easily* could have had an hour trimmed down, maybe even an hour and a half.
Latter half of the film just rehashes the same themes incessantly.
>"Did Oppenheimer take the commie pill"
>"No but his security clearance should be denied"
Rinse and repeat then que scene of Cillian Murphy with the 1000 yard stare and amplified lighting.

I'm sorry the movie didn't have enough superheroes and comic relief for people like you
I didn't give the film a rave review so I must be a ride or die capeshitter.
Okay bud.
If the movie is too long for you then watch something else
The movie being long isn't the issue. Read my post brudda. Some of my favourite films are 3 plus hours (Irishman, LOTR trilogy, pretty much all of Scorsese's filmography). The last hour of Oppenheimer was a chore to get through. Nothing thematically substantive justifies that extra hour tacked on at the end.

As of May of this year, the average monthly rent for a one bedroom in the US is $1,827. Almost every complex/landlord requires you to make x3 the rent a month to apply. The average US income is $31k a year; less the half of what’s needed to apply.
Fuck this clown world.
Yeah my dude, it's almost like unfettered capitalism is a corrupt and oppressive system that hampers social mobility and progress. Got me scratching the old noodle here.

Daily reminder that if a woman is raped and impregnated at gunpoint the assailant with the gun is now *legally* more protected than the rape victim, according to SCOTUS.
In America.
In 2022.
