From the Article:

For weeks following Joe Biden’s disastrous performance, his campaign publicly maintained the illusion that he was still well-positioned to defeat Donald Trump. Privately, they knew otherwise. As Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau revealed days after the election:

After the debate, the Biden people told us that the polls were fine, and Biden was still the strongest candidate. They were privately telling reporters, at the time, that Kamala Harris couldn’t win. […] Then we find out, when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling, at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes.

The implications of this are staggering, and it should be treated as a massive scandal.

    Ah yes, Latino men prefer super macho men like the socialist feminists Claudia Sheinbaum and Dilma Rousseff.

    Definitely not that Kamala was an unconvincing candidate who simply got a boost from women due to the abortion issue, relative to men.

      It’s almost as if Latin American voters are a completely different demographic than people who live and vote in South America.

      Who would’ve thought.

        Yeah, completely different. They don’t share anything, especially not the thing we’re discussing, culture.

          You think Latin American (talking about USA) culture is the same as South American culture?

          Lol buddy…

            That’s what I said. When I implied, using sarcasm, that they’re not completely dissimilar, what I really meant was that US Latino culture is monolithic and is 1:1 identical to South America, and only South America, excluding central America and Mexico where a majority of US Latinos are from. You are correct.

      If you look at the voter statistics mainly white and Latino men stayed at home for Kamala after voting for Joe Biden.

      Sorry reality is hard for you to process.

      If you have a better theory why specifically these groups of men sat out besides the sexism we know they have problems with then im all ears.

        Yes, they sat home because Biden went from 53% approval at the time they voted for him to 37% approval at the time of his dropping out, Kamala Harris did not differentiate herself from him much and many more white and Latino women may have also stayed home were it not for the repeal of Roe v. Wade. Black men also shifted towards Trump.

        Why don’t you explain why it that Latino men voted 62% for Hillary and only 55% for Kamala?

            A smarmy way to avoid explaining the absurd “sexism” angle. Keep making excuses for a political party hemorrhaging support by its own inability to change.
