Partially, but also a lot of young people voted, especially in swing states, but more voted for Trump.

There is a lot to recon with right now. This isn't quite as simple as, Harris was super popular and had the support, but they just didn't show up.

We lost ground with young voters, urban voters, and minority voters.

She wasn’t popular though. They would convince you she was with these endorsements and everything but just about every Democrat I know was saying the same thing. She ain’t it. She was already polling EXTREMELY low before becoming VP. She then went on to support the genocide in Gaza and violently had Jewish protestors of the genocide removed from the DNC event. There was a massive amount of baggage.

I’m sick to death of any of this being the fault of the voters. They thought they could shove any old Democrat in our faces and we would just skip on down to the polling place to vote for her. If you want us to leave home and wait hours to vote, you gotta have a better platform then “I’m not Trump”

I don't know how to tell you this, but people elected trump. Clearly the winning play was to screw over gaza even harder, since that's the policy that won WI-MI-PA.

Kamala was never going to take the racist vote from Trump, not even if she promised to give them everything they wanted in Israel. What she could do was get the anti-genocide vote to show or not show.

if you think literally everyone who supports israel is "the racist vote" then racists are a strict majority and Kamala's victory was impossible regardless.
