that is true, but

  > Kamalah would have won by a landslide

im not so sure. after a great start she sudenly veered off and campaigned by appealing to disaffected republicans (eg. touring with liz cheney, militaristic posturing (in her words 'the most leathal') military etc) and ignoring/downplaying the gaza issue which affected voting trends [0] in the battleground states just enough to loose there... also the prolonged conflict in ukraine didn't help things with many voters either (eg. lie or not he said he'd end the wars immediately)

and aside from some bread-crumbs like paid leave, she was very silent in economic issues that affected many minorities...

her campaign was in la-la land [1]
