Where is Kamala?

Just saw this post on X, and I tend to agree...

"Kamala lost as she campaigned - a coward who couldn't face the media, couldn't handle the pressure. Didn't even have the character required to concede on election night. Went home to sulk. The opposite of presidential material."

Really and truly was there nobody with any substance the Democrats could have put forward. What on earth did they expect. The bar was so low.

The British would have definitely started a chorus of "Whyyyyy are we waiting?"

Would be preferable

What are you watching it on, @BellyPork?
On my feed it's just background scratching noises ...

I'm watching it live - or rather hoping to - @EasternStandard, and so far it's just people peering at the podium and fiddling with the flags

Haha I thought you meant something else, I'm not watching. I should really

Apparently she’s cancelled speeches despite people turning up and is getting ‘aggressively pissed'

Pissed in the American sense or pissed in the British sense.

Another climate change whack job. At least Trump knows the score.

Trump doesn't know "the score"! He cares about no-one but himself!

Because it’s politically the right thing to do..

Well it didn't hurt trump when he didn't give one

BellyPork · 06/11/2024 21:15

Is she having a meltdown?

LadyGabriella · 06/11/2024 21:14

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 21:13

Trump didn't give a loss acceptance speech last time though did he?

So why should Kamala.

It’s because she’s pathetic. Never stood a chance. Shes probably laughing into thin air somewhere

It doesn't mean she's "pathetic". It means she never stood a chance against the deluded Trump apologists who'd sooner see a racist, misogynist, convicted criminal in the White House than a black woman.

Shame of them.

If she couldn’t manage to concede and to give her own supporters - who has stayed up all night for her - a short speech that someone else would write for her anyway, that merely underlines her lack of suitability for the job.

Ironic that you address "lack of suitability for the job" given the candidate that America has just endorsed!!!

JollyPinkFox · 06/11/2024 21:05

Can you imagine losing to that disgusting specimen? I expect she is devastated, if not for her own loss then for what's happening in her country?

The misogyny and double standards on this and many other election threads is depressing, if illuminating.

Because the woman candidate is not 'nice', or is not kowtowing sufficiently, bring on the fascists, eh?

Nothing to do with her sex, Rishi was gracious in defeat last time I think he even apologised to his party.
