They had the same video for Kamala, but it won't be posted😂😂😂

[donson]

You know there’s a prerecorded Kamala victory video somewhere.

[caseyagnew]

The only enthusiasm that came Kamalas way was from the mainstream media.

[titolovely]

"all of a sudden there was enormous enthusiasm for the democrats". proceeds to lose the presidency, senate, house, and popular vote.

[beastrule]

Kamala should have talked to joe rogan for 3 hours…

[Muhammad_Ahmad_]

I can't wrap my head around the idea that the man who promised sweeping tariffs on every imported product is elected by people who claimed inflation is thier biggest issue

1 candidate did an uncut 3-hour long podcast. 1 candidate you only get little, tiny, scripted snippet interviews. It's 2024.

[aju]

" Well, He is right, He did beat medicare " 🤣🤣🤣

[Scoutbql]

I'm so mad. The democrats NEEDED to listen to people like Alyssa from the View and orient our campaign messaging to win swing voters. I.E. Quit attacking Trump, quit insulting the people you NEED on your side, quit bringing rappers like Cardi b to speak for the nation, and instead speak clearly about your policies. This loss is because of terrible campaign management. smh

[kaykeybear]

You people still don’t get it. Keep it up. YOU got him elected.

[geneparmesan]

People finally got tired of being treated like complete idiots by the mainstream media and its puppets.

[jmful]

I was there when they were trying to gaslight people that Joe Biden is "sharp as a tack" after that disastrous debate

[VonNothias]

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

4:51 "out of the blue"?? Unlike other highly expected assassination attempts??

[daveb]

I still have no clue what Kamala's platform was. Her lack of vision and not having any policies clearly defined was exhausting and it showed her incompetence. The fact that the mainstream media didn't challenge her and even with staged crowds and staged interviews she clearly was not POTUS material and was indeed out of her league with her nervous cackles. Harris is done. I see no future in politics with this woman.

[MyLifeOfficial]

Look at these reporters acting like they didn't get it wrong all along. Now they have everything to say and "explain" things with 20/20 hindsight.

From one POV-
2016 - A New Hope
2020 - The Empire Strikes Back
2024 - Return of the Jedi

From another POV-
2016 - The Phantom Menace
2020 - Attack of the Clones
2024 - Revenge of the Sith

[RealmsOfThePossible]

He won by having actual policies, answering questions and not talking in riddles and word salads. Most humans can think for themselves.
