I am 10x more disappointed about Harris losing than I was when Clinton did
Post Body

I really canā€™t stand this guy. I know Iā€™m preaching to the choir, but he is such a phony. Itā€™s a challenge to empathize with his supporters but ultimately I feel there has to be an attempt, because theyā€™re all just being gaslit and used.

When Clinton lost.. part of me understood. First, she won the popular vote.. so it was easy to place the blame on the system and consider him a ā€œhistorical mistakeā€ so to speak. Second, Clinton is not without scandal. Just being honest, sheā€™s not the most likable political figure to say the least.

But Harris? Harris had everything. Her career in California was defined by her exceptional contributions to the protection and furtherance of child welfareā€¦ it doesnā€™t get more likable than that! At least in my book. A defender of children is a person who has things right. Has their head in the right place. Not only that, but she didnā€™t lean in on the ā€œfirst woman presidentā€ thing ā€” which I thought was a unique & intelligent move. She focused on talking about what she can do for people rather than what she will accomplish in her career by winning. She handled interviews flawlessly. She won the debate by a landslide.

I am struggling to understand.

Is it seriously just because she isnā€™t a man?

Because thatā€™s what it entirely seems like.

With Clinton? I was able to make myself understand why it might not have been that, but with Harris I am a bit shook by the fact that she not only lost in general.. but lost the popular vote.

This reality feels dystopian and I feel unsafe.. and Iā€™m a fuckin white guyā€¦ so I genuinely canā€™t even fathom what other people feel like.


(Note: I was required to add an attachment to this post, so I decided to add an edit I made in September following the debate. Iā€™m sorry if this is the wrong sub to post this.)
