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.

Oh I don’t disagree but the approach doesn’t seem to win elections. It’s like Brexit all over again.

Great speech and very well-delivered. How anyone finds Trump a good orator is baffling.

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.

They did indeed, MillyMichaelson, but put it this way ... if the incoming results had been going Kamala's way does anyone suppose she'd just have scuttled off and left someone else to suggest the faithful go home?

As PPs have said this is about grace under fire and leadership skills, and to many she'll just be confirming that they did right to reject her

When they've just re-elected the worse President in history who has yet to concede his loss four years ago??

SweetcornFritter · 06/11/2024 21:38

Cracking speech Kamala.

Not particularly inspiring. Bit of a yawn fest

I guess there's not really a lot she can say after losing to such a man, so it's just word salad and platitudes

Could have been worse though ... but so much better if it had been a decent candidate and they'd won

Thought it was a great speech.

She’s licking her wounds.

The Democrats would have walked the election if they’d fielded a half decent candidate.

They didn’t.

She is poor at deeper discussion, debates and interviews. She did not go through the full process and primaries like other candidates did. She failed to engage with voters who mattered in swing states.

Add that on to the last three and a half years which have been poor for the Democrats and the party themselves making some very questionable decisions (ie picking Biden for a second term in the first place), it was clear for weeks she was going to lose.

I’m shocked so many people thought she was going to win, and not only that, by and landslide.

Regardless of that, she should have came out to address those who were waiting for hours to hear from her last night. I think that was really poor behaviour. We all as humans understand that losing is hurtful, but you need to be made of stronger stuff if you want to be a leader of one of the largest countries in the world.

Mickey Mouse should have won if pitched against Trump!!

Thing is I think she is a bit preachy and the speech is a little bit ‘were right and everyone else was wrong’ which is probably one of the reasons why they lost.

But she is its like star wars she's like the good side and the other side well darth vader etc. She come across as caring I know which one I like

HellsBalls · 06/11/2024 21:36

Fecking hell, what a shyte orator. She talked a lot and said not much. Just noise. Need to be better to be the POTUS.
Like a parody.

She’s not interesting to listen to, she doesn’t command an audience.

Littlemissgobby · 06/11/2024 21:33

LadyGabriella · 06/11/2024 21:32

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 06/11/2024 21:31

The smiling and giggling isn't going down so well with me. I think she should have made more of an effort to look statesmanlike and sombre, whilst sincerely thanking her supporters.

Rightly or wrongly her manner puts my teeth on edge and I think this is part of her unlikeability factor.

Bunnycat101 · 06/11/2024 21:31

She walked on grinning like a Cheshire cat and now looks like she’s about to cry.
