I think Michelle Obama could get elected. She’s definitely more electable IMO than Kamala and Hilary. Just out of interest, did you think Kamala was a good candidate? I just completely disagree with the implication that she only lost because America is racist. Even her book title makes her come across like a victim. I’ve not read it, but from the reviews I’ve seen there’s barely an acknowledgment that she did anything wrong. For example, like going on SNL a few days before the election. Most of the people that watch that show be democrats, what’s the point of going on a show where you know the votes are in the bag already? Why not go on Joe Rogan? He’s got the biggest podcast audience in the world. From all accounts he did invite her on the show. To use a football analogy, it’s a bit like wanting to win the premier league but refusing to play an away game. Go on his show and try and win people over.
I do have perspective, I want the democrats to win elections as long as the republicans don’t believe in democracy or climate change. That doesn’t mean that I’m blind to the flaws that the democrats have. They’re seen as the party of no common sense. Was Hilary’s “deplorables” comment accurate? Probably, but by saying it you’re throwing votes away. Katie Porter had the same attitude in a recent interview, someone asked her what she needs to do to win over the people that voted for Trump and her attitude was why would I have to win those people over, I don’t need them. It’s not a great attitude to have IMO. That’s why I’d prefer a Gavin Newsom type to win as he seems more willing to engage with the other side.
