Hillary won the 2016 popular vote but yeah Kamala lost because she was a woman and not because people want radical change. Its definitely the Vulva, not the fact she was promising to be Joe Biden 2.0 at a time where most Americans were feeling Biden was failing them due to how shitty their bank accounts were.
Trump marketed that he would fix the economy. He didn’t and rug pulled. Kamala did not even bother to say radical change was coming.
It is the people’s responsibility to stay educated
It is the media’s responsibility to be unbiased and not run propaganda. And yet, Fox News exists.
It is a systemic issue, not a personal one. You can not educate the person who feels they know everything. Someone does not feel like they know everything unless they have that affirmed to them daily. Fox News pushes this shit, daily.

When Trump left office in 2021, he left the country in complete disarray due to his poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joe Biden came in and did what neoliberal democrats do. He cleaned up the mess the previous republican made, but he made damn sure not to toe the line outside of being a neoliberal democrat. He applied duct tape to a sinking ship. He did nothing to stop the alt-right propaganda machine. He did nothing to the large corporate bodies that run all the mainstream and social media that people get their information from that got Trump 2016 elected. What Joe Biden did do in regards to anything related to propaganda, was set Trumps buddies up to buy TikTok, because neolibs were upset that people on TikTok were spreading the truth about what Israel is doing. And he made damn sure to drag the Trump prosecution out as long as possible, because what if it looks like a political prosecution? When they punch low, we go high!
So, we had a population that is on the unregulated propaganda machine 24/7. We had a President who was unwilling to actually prevent Trump from running in 2024.
Of the entire population in 2024 roughly 25% of them felt they were living paycheck to paycheck. Accounting for the different age groups surveyed in this study, that is a roughly 2-3% increase over 2019 (Pre-pandemic). What the takeaway from this information is that while Biden may have “fixed” the economy, he did not fix it for the average US family. Being charitable would be saying he restored it to a pre-pandemic state. Trump may have done massive damage to the economy, but it is worse to be the oppositional party, and not do anything to improve the circumstances to prevent such an occurrence in the future. The reason Trump’s COVID-19 was so devastating to the economy was the unregulated propaganda, the conspiracy theories about the vaccine giving you autism and having tracking chips, the people who refused to wear masks and Trumps inability to actually enforce an actual fucking lockdown. Biden could have passed anti-disinformation laws, could have put the screws to Fox, OAN, and friends with the FCC. Could have regulated vaccines for citizens. He did NOTHING.
What we have at the point leading up to July 2024 is a population of voters who are either full of propaganda talking points, or people completely apathetic to the current administration due to the fact they are either back where they started, or they are worse off than they were in 2019. Speaking of, who was running for election in July of 2024? OH! It was Joe Biden! typically, under normal circumstances, (And let’s not forget, Joe Biden was promising in 2020 that he would only run for one term and this should have been normal circumstances) candidates would have roughly a years time to get their name out in the media. Then, the primary starts in January. Once again, if we are charitable here and not counting pre-primary time, Kamala was already getting rat fucked by having lost over 6 months advertising & campaigning time. In comparison, do you know how much time Trump had to get his name out there? 10 fucking years.
Not ONLY do we have a population of voters who are apathetic due to their lives being shitty due to the economy, you also have to add in that Kamala only had 4 months to not only get people to know who she was (Remember, we are talking about Americans, who do not know the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground), but to convince those same people to vote for her. Compare this with Trumps roughly 120 months and it is ridiculous to even begin to start with the assumption that Kamala was passed over because she was a woman. In the 2024 election Trump had 77,302,580 votes to Kamalas 75,017,613. This is a difference of 2,284,967 or 1% of voters. Every year roughly 36%-46% of the US population just straight up does not vote in the presidential election, and this has been documented since the 1930s. In 2024 41% did not show up, which is an almost perfect average of the last 90 years.
The only statistic you can even argue is “I did not vote for her because she is a woman” is that 1% of voters that pushed trump over the top, but you’d be stretching it assuming that 1% would ever vote for a Republican. You can try and argue that “Well the people who stayed at home stayed at home because she is a woman!!”, except, 44% of people stayed home in the 2016 election (More than in 2024), the election in which, HILLARY WON THE POPULAR VOTE, WHICH IS A FACT YOU COMPLETELY FUCKING IGNORED THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT UP. If you can find some statistics that point to the main reason Kamala losing is because she is a woman, I would love to see them. You won’t though, because she didn’t lose because she was a woman. She lost because she had 4 months to campaign. She lost because she was the same old neoliberal shrill that the DNC loves to push. She lost because no one knew who the fuck she was or what her platforms are (You admitted it yourself, Americans are not smart). She lost because Trump had brand recognition, She lost because she did not say ANYTHING on the campaign trail that inspired confidence in the voter base, nothing that would have caused them to go out and vote. Do you know who did give them lip service? Trump did. Trump told them he would fix the grocery prices. Trump told them he would “get rid of the violent illegals”. Trump told them everything they wanted to hear. Hook, line and sinker. When he won, all of that went away. and the core Trump voter base in none the wiser. Too bad democrats aren’t allowed to lie on the campaign trail.
But yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe it’s because she had a uterus and there were no other factors that lead to this happening. Ugh, typical misogynistic USA (Who just 9 years ago had a woman win the popular vote but we’re going to ignore that because it’s convenient for my argument)
