Misogyny is an easy excuse that doesn't question the effectiveness of any of the politicians or consultants involved in the race. People forget that Biden only barely won what should have been an easy race. Now the difference between losing and barely winning is a big deal, but they all ran pretty similar campaigns trying to get the "good Republicans" while neglecting their base. Maybe Biden's shriveled dick was the difference to get him to barely squeak past Trump while a woman wouldn't, but none of these races should have been close. There's a much bigger problem at play than "just don't run women because too sexist".
I'm with you. Some of the simplicity of this is what's going to keep these cycles going.
Not defending bidens record here but are you really dissing an 81 yo dick? You think anyone has a girthy hog at 81?
Please don't remind me that people actually voted for a guy who looks and smells like he died two weeks ago.
Arnold Palmer maybe.
Also, is this post serious? Because I'm assuming someone taking offense about colorful language about an old man's penis can't possibly be so, but it's being played very straight that this is a real thing worthy of conversation.
Huh? I just think it's weird to bring up as like, a burn.
We're a mile down in a Lemmy thread, nothing here is serious.
Oh, you're the person who thinks I like Jill Stein for some reason. You're clueless.
I guess you just carried water for her to spite the DNC, then?
Gotta distance yourself now.
You could literally just look in my history for "Jill Stein", but you're a blowhard who doesn't do self-reflection. I already told you this, but just go on being aggressively ignorant.
He won by more than she lost by. It's not an excuse, it's just a part of the equation that cannot be ignored.
And? It's been 4 years and a lot of factors have changed. If kamala didn't engage with those 20 mil who felt Biden made promises he didn't deliver and kamala has no plans to change anything then that could explain it. Blaming this purely on gender without any justification is just careless. Although I'm pretty sure the dems will see this as "women can't win" rather than "we're deeply out of touch and need real reform".
No one said "purely" that's ridiculous to begin with but also I chose my words carefully. seems like some of you really don't want to face this for some reason
In a win as close as his, that's not saying anything particularly significant. Biden's win was what, 80,000 votes or so?
...if we are talking popular vote, hell no, it was several million, more than 5, which is what she lost by. If you don't even remember this basic fact about it, why the hell make any argument at all?
He didn't win by 5 million. Running up the numbers in California doesn't win you the White House. He won in a few swing states by nail-biting margins.
Ok insist on comparing unlike things then. It doesn't matter at all anyhow, if you look at the EC she lost the election by a country mile.
