The loss is not about her.

This was a stolen election pure and simple.

Trump and Putin are ruthless psychopaths and it was imperative for both of them
for Trump to get into the WH.

Trump faced massive legal problems. Putin is losing the war in Ukraine
and his economy is in shambles. He could lose his power in Russia.

They both needed to win this election by any means and they did.

Putin and the Russian military figured out how to do it.
They had nothing to lose.

I'm sorry, but we need to be real about this.

Trump ran for president three times.

He won twice against female candidates.

He lost once to a male candidate.

He is a racist, and I believe part of his motivation to run for president in 2016 was due to there being a black man in the White House.

I hate to say this, but the handwriting is on the wall. In future elections, the Democrats need to nominate a white male under the age of 65 as their candidate for president.

I know all of this smacks of misogyny, racism, and ageism. But, you have to be objective about this and realize that part of the American public that votes (not all of America), is racist, misogynistic and ageist. If you want to win elections, you need to acknowledge this and design your strategy around it. But, do it in a way that you don't cater to racism, misogyny, and ageism.

It was stolen by billionaires who spent billions of dollars on anti-Harris advertising.
