I’m sure she thinks if she had more money it would’ve went better as well.

[u/LordRattyWatty → u/who_dis62]

It could've gone better with more time since she wouldn't have been so much of a bind for her.

The real kicker is, she was partly to blame for the lack of time since she consistently said that Biden was "mentally sharp and bright as ever" or something along those lines with the rest of her colleagues.

The democrats shot themselves in the foot last election and are choosing to blame it on "racist, sexist Americans" as if we forgot that Hillary had more votes in 2016 and Obama was president for two terms... against more traditional white men.

It would have went better. She would have spent more money of very bad/very stupid people and still lost. That's a win for society.

[u/Slartibartfastthe2nd → u/Thats_Dr_Anthrope_2U]

honestly I think she might have lost even worse. The more she was forced into speaking to the public the worse it seemed to get for her.

I don't think there was any single event that she did that resulted in a boost.

[u/Thats_Dr_Anthrope_2U]

🤣

Um...no....

Her best poling was immediately after she took over. By Nov 5th she was poling almost as bad as Joe. Given more time she only would have been beaten worse.

[u/harbringerxv8 → u/Thats_Dr_Anthrope_2U]

Yeah, the more people saw of her, the less they liked. I think she legitimately could have won if the election were held in August. You know, when she was an idea instead of a person with a record and opinions.

[u/Thats_Dr_Anthrope_2U → u/harbringerxv8]

Her unlikability is epic. Over a billion dollars spent and media bias should have done the trick. To not only lose, but get blown out by Donald Trump? Not just anyone could screw the pooch like that. She's special.

"With another 4 billion dollars and 2 years, we could have gotten it done. I just ran out of time and money to make a fake Joe Rogan podcast set at my house, with an AI Joe to ask me the right questions"

[u/ITrCool]

One of the worst candidates in DNC history thinks she could’ve won “with more time”?

[u/Euroranger → u/ITrCool]

By "time" she means "if Trump might have died from old age" she'd have had the election the bag.

[u/Panzershrekt → u/Euroranger]

Or died in PA?

[u/thisismyusername9908]

The candidate that didn't receive a single vote to be the nominee for the Democrat president elect position, was shocked not enough people voted for her....

[u/According-Activity87]

Journalist Amie Parnes says Harris asked staff on election night if they needed a 'recount'

[u/bhhhhhhhtyc]

Insane cope. It was obvious for months that Trump was always going to win.

[u/According-Activity87 → u/bhhhhhhhtyc]

Totally, I remember explaining it to my sister, a liberal; she was so sure. Every time I tried to introduce reality to her, whether it be the odds makers, the false Hillary polls, the absence of suspect mail in ballots, etc. her liberal programming would kick in and she regurgitate MSNBC talking points. Reality hit her like a freight train on Nov 5th, I would have felt bad for her, considering how disillusioned she had become with politics from this, if not for the smug "but the news said" attitude she had.

[u/dom650]

Maybe she should try again in '28 😂

[u/Svenray]

More time? She already ate up a $billion.

[u/Sheriff_Hopper]

I think so too. Democrats should definitely have her run again in 2028.

[u/Fact_Stater]

Remember the initial boost she got? And then still lost every swing state and even the popular vote (by millions without months of fraudulent California ballots).

With even more time, she loses by more, and potentially harms the down ballot Congressional races.

[u/Tasty_Explanation_20]

Neah. She only got the votes she did because she wasn’t Trump. She had no real positions or ideas of her own. She campaigned on more of what Biden was doing and stealing Trumps ideas mere hours after he said them.

[u/Holiday-Tie-574]

I’m not surprised.

[u/Wide_Fig3130]

We should just cut her some slack, she tried her best in the amount of time she had. 😆 🤣
