Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he’s finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he’s decided to do just that.

    Harris didn’t lose because she was a woman; she lost because she was a bad candidate. It’s that simple.

          It’s fine. I mean a lot of it is interpretation but if you look at the places where people came out to vote in drove compared to the last election it’s mostly states known for not being favorable to a black women being in power.

      As a non American, I keep seeing this excuse and I’m always gobsmacked.

      Bad candidate compared to… Trump?

      You lot sure know how to pick them (or not, as it were).

        As another non-American, comparing her to Trump is very reductive, because fundamentally she and Trump were trying to appeal to completely different sets of people. Yeah yeah lesser evil and all that, but that doesn’t work in the real world.
