EXCERPTS (Jerry Coyne): Everybody has their own theory about the most important factor leading to the Democrats’ loss a week ago. [...] In the 40-minute video below, Sam Harris zeroes in on the last factor—the fulminating wokeness of Democrats.

[...] He adds that the planks of Harris’s platform were “rotten”, especially those supporting identity politics. As he says,  “identity politics is over, nobody wants it.”

[...] Sam has apparently abandoned the calmness accompanying the meditation he practices, for the piece is larded with uncharacteristic profanity, including Sam’s peevish claim that if we Democrats continue this way, “You’re going to get President Candace Fucking Owens some day.”  But I applaud the increasing use of profanity in such podcast, for that’s the way people actually talk.

[...] In the end, Sam concludes that “Democratic moral confusion cost the Democrats millions of votes. ... And the GOP picked up on this moral weakness, making it the subject of many pro-Trump ads ... I’ve put two extra items below it... (MORE - details)

After exposing her antisemitism, no thanks on Owens.

But certainly we could find a better woman than Hillary or Kamala. Maybe start with someone who's actually had some leadership experience.

4 years as Vice President isn't leadership experience?

Vice Presidents don't lead anything. That's why Kamala could only parrot Biden and couldn't even tell you the difference between her and Biden, other than genitalia.

Once again, leftist moron citing an unsourced leftist rag. If time management were a deciding factor, Trump just got done running circles around Kamala in terms of rallies and appearances... 18 years older than her at that.

The President runs the entire Executive branch of government and is Command in Chief of the entire armed forces.
The Vice President breaks ties in the Senate.

If you can't tell which one is leading, from just their constitutional duties, you're completely lost.

Funny how Trumpers were all attacking Harris as if she was directly involved with all the policy making of the Biden administration. Now she did nothing? But hey it's a new age now! The era of alternative facts! Truth whatever you want it to be at the moment!
