IN, before both the Democratic Conventions (August 2024) and the November 2024 General Presidential Election, and well before people blame old people, young people, white people, black people, women, men, progressives, independents, swing voters, minorities, anyone and everyone, except the fact that Kamala Harris was the wrong candidate to pick.
This post is being made today, July 22, 2024, at 11:40 AM EST (Massachusetts, USA), and I am adding it to my favorites. I encourage you do to do the same for posterity. It has been 24 hours since Joe Biden has dropped out of the race and endorsed, Kamala Harris, and I can already (easily) envision people blaming everyone for Kamala Harris defeat. Unwilling to accept the fact that the problem was, Kamala Harris.
We could have easily defeated, Donald Trump, and if you're reading this post November 6, 2024, the day after the election, it is not the fault of old people, young people, white people, black people, women, men, progressives, independents, swing voters, minorities, or whoever else you wish to blame. The reality is Kamala Harris was a weak candidate who did not inspire people and give hope for the future.
We needed a strong progressive to overcome the strong conservative energy of Donald Trump. We needed someone who was going to make waves, turn heads, and inspire people to unite together. Someone who could have stood on their own, without needing people to protest vote to block or use fear and intimidation.
IN, before all that has happen, and if you're reading this, after the election, I and others called it 24 hours, after Joe Biden stepped aside. We had 100 names from the Progressive Caucus to choose from, but you picked the 1 person, a wishy-washy moderate who dropped out of the 2020 Presidential Primaries, due to their unpopular standing. Whoever you're blaming, we're not to blame.
