Are you kidding? Is that really an event you think proves your point? Please tell me you will read further on in that event than whoever sold you a partial story and fooled you into thinking that.

If you're saying she didn't give people anything to be excited about, and she focused 'Trump is bad' then you imho did not follow the election, you followed social media and click bait.

Her platform was there, it was a great direction for this country to make us stronger, happier and represent the better aspects of American voters. I was very excited for it.

And personally, I didn't like her much at first, nor would I say she is ideal. But there are 3 choices: Harris, Trump, everything is fine. I was definitely excited to pick Harris with those being the only three options.

Have they stopped teaching politics in school or something?

I also hope that those similar to your ideals focus on building you up for your common values, rather than arm chair criticisms while ignoring the deeply problematic other side of the equation.

I wish you all the luck in gathering voters behind your cause

Is anyone really that uninformed though?

People voted for the racist rapist. Ignorant would be a component

It's really fascinating how so many online have all the answers, and it would be so easy, and yet, you're not out there doing it

America voted for Trump, but you're going to blame the people who were working extremely hard to offer a viable alternative?

Sorry but that's bullshit and is harmful.

Voting is quintessential to getting us out of this mess and trying to downplay the power of voting is only beneficial to those currently in power.

There are many actions to take beyond voting, but there is one very specific reason trump is president right now: his people voted.

Yes, if we don't let the Nazis back in then we're no better than them!

I understand where you're coming from but I think there is an atmosphere tinging the conversation (and there are a lot of threads happening so maybe I'm the one doing that, not trying to be perfect here)

I'm not bitching about voters. I'm saying people are blaming Democrats, or Harris, or whoever they want to, but one side showed up with more people. I see you are continuing that as well by saying she ignored her own base.

More people showed up for what Trump was selling. Harris was certainly not ignoring her base in favor of the Cheneys but I think you mean they relatively to your expectations (?).

If she were leaning more right, then I guess that was the correct choice because that's who showed up to vote.

Saying she ran an awful campaign is a judgement, one neither of us qualified to make legitimately (correct me if I'm wrong and you have some relevant professional experience)

The voters spoke and said they did not see enough of a difference between Harris and Trump to vote for Harris, and the ones that saw a difference voted for Trump.

Harris was out there making her platform and politics known, performing at debates.
