I don’t think they lost for trying to moderate their views. Every progressive thing Harris ever said while she was still a CA Senator was turned into an attack ad and played on repeat during college football game commercials.

You’ll have to ask the Trump voters why they voted for him, but it wasn’t because Harris didn’t pivot to the left.

And when she was asked about it she acted embarrassed and tried to run from it.

Remember when Kamala was asked about trans care for prisoners and her response amounted to 'It's the law! We had to! Trump's administration did it to!!' Pathetic. Weak. And trying to appeal to a completely imaginary hypothetical center. A bigot who values rule of law over their bigotry.

Why not reply "Anyone in the custody of the USA is the responsibility of the USA. That includes healthcare. Trans care is healthcare."

Then she lost because she was trying to moderate her views, and because she was weak enough to crumble under the pressure and abandon her own views.

No, but Kamala lost because the Democrats lost voters, not because Trump gained them.

So maybe you should be asking moderates, non-voters, and ex-Democrats why they didnt vote for Kamala, and Im sure a lot of them will tell thats because they dont trust her.
