1. They focused on everyone they could get. The country did not want a minority woman as leader.

Trump's approval ratings will be lower than Biden's once the economic suffering, that Musk even acknowledged, commences. Those voters affected the most that voted for Trump will still think they did the correct thing because they believe under no circumstances should this country be headed by a (minority) woman. It's fine if the minority women (or minorities and women) are the most qualified and have the greater skills to support the male leader, but they will never be seen as leaders themselves.

It's very similiar to attacking transgenders in sports. Women, to many that voted against their best interests, will always be inferior to men. Having their male dominant country being lead by a (weaker sex ) woman would be seen as an utter failure and embarrassment.

2. Hope She Shared Her Views With the Campaign

She actually had access and was part of the administration so hopefully she shared these views instead of talking about it now. Our voters let Kamala and Tim down. No excuses for it.

7. Yes, this was definitely a mistake

I don't know that it was the worst mistake, or if it was worse than the racism and misogyny, but it certainly didn't help.

Also, Democrats in general need to STOP touting the success of Wall Street as an indicator that the economy is doing well. It doesn't matter to most people.
