Truly horrific.

She's too female and too melinated for American voters.

I hate identity politics and even I think that's what it was :joker:

Tbf, the Democrats are to blame for not appealing to straight white men.

They're half of the country's population, and the Democrats didn't come up with one policy to pull any of them over to their side.

It's not just white male voters either. Trumps support surged massively amongst black and hispanic voters too. There was a 33 point swing towards Trump amongst hispanic males

Instead she tried to hide from the spotlight as much as possible and rely on celebrity endorsements to win the race for her.

And the biggest problem is that no one voted for her as their candidate. Even a lot of Democrats would think it a bit distasteful the way it was handled, first with everyone insisting Biden was fine to stand and then forcing him out at the last minute by which time it was too late to have a proper primary

Genuinely did not think this would happen. Hopefully no more world wars come of this result. It’s scary times for sure

Sooo many people are going to be disappointed when basically nothing changes and the world ticks on as usual.

I hope he's MADE to act with more responsibility and decency.
However I won't hold my breath.

I guess one claim to fame he has, is he can beat women but not men.
