More votes than every other candidate in history
Bro hasn't been introduced to the concept of demographic growth
Yeah, she lost in a historic fashion. Like, embarrassingly bad. And her sycophants are just like, "its opposite day!"
She outperformed George Washington by a factor of 2,678:1! How can you not respect her campaigning abilities?
There where states that had down-ticket Dems with more votes than her. Like people voted straight democrat except Kamala. This is a clear cut example of a bad candidate.
hillary fucking clinton was an astoundingly unlikeable open warmonger and STILL beat trump in the popular vote
"So, we got our asses handed to us pretty hard this election...clearly we need to change nothing except ramp up and extend the duration of our shame and insult 'get the vote out' campaigns"
This person is simply uneducated in the fact that people fuck each other and move, causing population to grow.
Maybe they can for once let primary run it’s natural course instead of pre-selecting candidates. Outrageous, I know.

The fact that one of those two had nearly 12 million more votes despite his brain leaking out of his ear seems somehow relevant, but who am I to 'opine'?
Apparently you only get to opine if you're educated in civics. Say, is Drew Comments educated in civics?
If you believe in a democracy you should probably not use the word "mandate" so flippantly
Probably like 95% of their votes are already baked in through pure inertia, it's possible she could have run no campaign at all and landed roughly where she did.
She did tell anti-genocide protestors to shut up and also said, "Actually, I love fracking!"
She also told trans people, "I love laws", while her supporters were going around telling them that Trump was going to pass laws to round them up and put them into camps.
"I will wave goodbye when they put you in the caddlecar" wasn't the winning campaign message they thought it was.
No. She ran a campaign. She was all over social media. She had commercials. She was doing rallies. She was pretty active.
In a way that was the problem because she was not giving the speeches and answering the questions that motivated people to vote for her. Her inability to move even a fraction left on some key issues just gave more fuel to the dumpster fire of apathy and resentment that the Democrats keep perpetually burning and really ended up suppressing turnout. People would rather stand alone in the cold than huddle around it anymore.
Probably would have done better if she had done nothing.
Hell they'd make successful decisions then immediately reverse when they were shown to be good ones only to go full warmonger.
Nope, she tried her damnedest to run her election into the ground and still managed to get 63 million votes.
A paper bag with a smiley face drawn on it would probably have received the same number of votes.
I like what Congressman Bagface has to say about corporate interest rates.
got more votes than every other candidate in U.S. history
Which has never fucking mattered in a presidential election, it always comes down to electoral college votes. Popular vote means nothing and never has
except 2
lol
lmao
Imagine posting that L and thinking it's a win (Those 2 are Biden and Trump)
This is mostly a consequence of rising population numbers, and is a silly statement
In a democracy with a rising population you should hope for every election to have a higher turnout than the previous election.
Having a lower turnout should mean your democracy isn't very democratic.
Even ignoring the massive “raw number versus percentage” problem, her raw total dropped off by more than 6 million from Biden in 2020. There’s no amount of lipstick that can be put on that pig.
Let's do the same thing forever and expect different results. That's the sign of true intelligence
