I am still a registered Democrat in the USA. As soon as I am able to, I will change to Independent. I believe that the Democratic Party is corrupt, and the Republican Party is evil. We need a 3rd political party.
Here is why Harris lost:
Joe Biden did a horrible job as president. He may go down as the worst president since James Buchanan. He may have been worse than George W. Bush.
More people died of Covid-19 during the Biden presidency than during the Trump presidency.
The removal of troops from Afghanistan was done in an embarrassingly horrible way - worse than was the case in Vietnam. Afghanistani citizens, especially women, who were getting used to ideas like justice and fairness and formal education, are now back to the Middle Ages in that country. The United States of America did NOTHING to help the people of Afghanistan and Biden was the guy who gave up so that he could claim he had ended America's longest war.
Joe Biden knew from the CIA that Putin was amassing troops at the Ukrainian border. He had time to negotiate with Putin. He could have averted the war. He could have reassured Putin that he would never allow Ukraine into NATO. He could have done something. He did nothing. Now there is a war which neither side can win but neither side wants to stop fighting. Biden did NOTHING to limit or end the insane about of bloodshed.
40,000+ civilian deaths in Gaza is an unacceptable and criminal situation. Biden could have taken measures to stop Netanyahu from his genocidal actions. He did nothing. I refused to vote for Biden or Harris because they did nothing to stop Netanyahu from his war mongering.
The economy became painfully worse. Inflation made it difficult for poorer Americans to even acquire the food they needed. Biden stood around and let it happen.
Voters became tired of "attack" politics. Harris and Walz spent most of their time attacking Donald Trump and not promoting a positive message of social change. The voters basically indicated that attacking Trump was not enough. Harris was not explaining how she was going to make life better in the future.
American citizens around the country are also convinced that Biden and the Democrats used the judicial system to try to throw Trump in jail. I am a Democrat and I would say you would have to be stupid not to see this. All of the criminal charges against Trump were brought by Democratic politicians. The judge in Trump's New York City trial was a registered Democrat whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris. The judge had contributed money to anti-Republican causes. The trial was a disgrace to American justice and I believe it made honest Americans sick to even see this was happening.
It wasn't bad enough that Democrats tried to jail their major opponent, they used harsh and violent language that led, I believe, to the two assassination attempts.
So it's over. The Democrats are crying in their beer now. Good for them. The Democratic Party gave us 4 rotten years of poor leadership and the American people, despite all the pressure put on them by the celebrities and TV stations, decided they had had enough.
I wish Donald Trump good luck in office. If I disagree with him or his policies I will exercise my right to contact him (as any American citizen can) and argue my case.
It is time for civility in American politics. I doubt the Democrats are ready for that.
