At least he’s old and will age out of voting soon!

According to ropercenter dot com, the only age group to vote for Trump was 45-64 (54%). People over 65 voted 50% for Trump.

Politically untested?

I'm old enough to remember when MEN running for US president were always famous politicians on the national level before ascending to the presidency. They wrote books, had famous legislation presented and passed in their name, were nationally noisy and nationally well known. AOC is mostly a northeastern US political celebrity. She has not been tested under political pressure that would threaten her safe candidacy.

Canada, what is your point?

My point is that Canada isn't good enough to look down upon the USA. And that's putting it lightly.

Any woman who runs will be running with the baggage of feminist politics. This is not the right time for it.

Your nation is a joke and the rest of the world is done with your shit.

And what esteemed nation are YOU from?

Mediterranean climates can be found in Europe, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, California and Chile. Americans drink wine mostly produced in America, not imported. The US also grows a lot of olives.

Harris could have won probably if more registered Dems bothered to vote.

It was Harris' job to give voters a reason to go out and vote. She lost because she was a poor campaigner.

Without Obama, there’d be no trump1.

Trump didn't run against Obama. Obama would have mopped the floor with Trump if he had been allowed to be the Democratic candidate instead of Hillary Clinton. Hillary lost only because she is a poor campaigner who ignored the swing states and appealed too heavily to feminist ideology.

Trump didn't win the popular vote by a landslide. It was close.

  • Trump - 77,303,568 - 49.81%
  • Harris - 75,019,230 - 48.34%

Sometimes people feel a emotional attachment to the people they worked close with

According to Google, "Kamala Harris and Dick Cheney never worked together in the same administration or government body. Their careers in public service largely occurred in different eras and levels of government."

You're underestimating the power of being soft on racism.
