> it's unclear to me that there's really anything they could have done

Don't choose such a unpopular candidate as Kamala. Have a primary instead of appointing someone.



Unpopular meaning "a woman"?


i understood it as unpopular because of being associated with biden and inflation/border-issues... she couldnt chart a new course and was stuck with defending bidens record.

the gaza issue also probably didnt win any points in pennsylvania etc


oh please... identity politics helped lose this election for the Dems bigly. Let's not bring it here.

There are a plethora of reasons she's unpopular, she can's string two coherent sentences together without a teleprompter, she cackles at inappropriate times, she won't talk to anyone off the cuff, she doesn't give straight answers on policy questions thus the word salad meme, she fumbles critical questions like what would you do different in the last 3 years, what a terrible answer...

What I think I'm reading here is that you feel like Trump is a better public speaker than Harris.

Assuming that this is a genuinely held belief that you have, I suggest that you consider that perhaps this is very subjective.
