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.

Well it's not like those young black women sobbing their hearts out in the crowd now are part of some privileged elite that have everything handed to them on a plate, is it?

It's so sad this is what gets me is that the other side don't understand this isn't just about voting. It isn't even about some people try to say it's about a team. This is not football. This is real life and I find that those on the right, don't understand this.

I was hoping she would call for unity and acknowledge that people feel unloved and overlooked. And set out a need to listen to the electorate who have decidedly spoken.

She is a graceful orator

Come back Kamala, come back!

BotanicalGreen · 06/11/2024 21:46

She spoke well and was dignified and gracious. What have they done!

I suppose there's not much you can say other than we lost but keep going

I mean I didn't love it but what else can you go on about after conceding, not much really

It's like, look at what we could have had.

Why is the dark side winning so much lately. It's not fair.

I want the goodies in power

Because people around us are selfish cxxxts and no I don't or won't mince my words and no I won't ever stop I go viral on twitter with my calls to lbc. I was outraged earlier about women that have died I n texas due to abortion law and women ringing all about trump because of food prices but didn't like his personality as if a civil claim about him raping carol was OK

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 21:43

She gave a cracking speech.

There's mention of tomorrow afternoon I think

The speech was terribly generic. Minimal substance. Surprised she kept telling people to fight

Can only imagine the reaction if Trump had taken so long to concede defeat. 'He's trying to overthrow democracy!!!!'

May I remind you that Trump has yet to concede defeat in 2020?!

Why was she telling people to fight?

She wasn't, she told them to keep fighting... As in keep on trying to do the "right" thing.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 21:40

She came across very well.

I like that she said in a democracy she respects the decision and she is going to hand over the power peacefully.

It will probably calm down any potential riots.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 21:40

I like when she said that she accepts the decision. That in a democracy it's very important to accept the vote.

Very different to when Trump threw his toys out of the pram four years ago, at the voting results.

The commentator on GB news just said it feels like he's been asked if he wants ketchup or mayo with his word salad, having watched that speech.

LadyGabriella · 06/11/2024 21:39

I think the use of the fighting imagery was not great.
