He then ends up suggesting the reason they donā€™t like Harris is because sheā€™s a woman -

ā€œBecause part of it makes me think ā€“ and Iā€™m speaking to men directly ā€“ part of it makes me think that, well, you just arenā€™t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and youā€™re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.ā€

    Democrats are directly responsible for 3 of the current conservative justices that took away womenā€™s rights. Hillaryā€™s hubris and arrogance caused her to lose.

      And here I thought it was not having the needed amount of votes that caused her to lose.

      Iā€™m sick of people blaming Hillaryā€˜s campaign for all the horrible shit that ensued afterwards. Candidates campaign because it is in their best interest to do so, but at the end of the day, this is our government. Itā€™s our job as citizens to educate ourselves on the candidates, the voting system, and the stakes of the election. We should be figuring out who best to vote for, whether they are good at campaigning or not.

      So, while Hillary might have won with a better campaign, the blame for Trump getting into power firmly rests with the voting public. We knew what kind of person Trump was before he was elected, and we knew there was a vacant Supreme Court seat.

      Donā€™t blame it on the fact that people werenā€™t manipulated well enough by a giant ad campaign.
