Almost feel bad for Vigeland, but seems now she's playing the race card against white women who voted for Trump:

Well, I was completely wrong. Selzer was an outlier and the aggregators were right. Horrifying and devastating on so many levels. I can’t even begin to think about the implications of this evening, let alone what it says about the country. - https://nitter.poast.org/EmmaVigeland/status/1854044427632640254#m
Can’t believe I actually had faith in other white women to choose our collective reproductive rights over their own whiteness. Naive and dumb. - https://nitter.poast.org/EmmaVigeland/status/1854289384251498586#m

No mention of Gaza in there, I notice. Abortion, Jan 6th, racism, bigotry, misogyny etc etc. Fell asleep during Seder's meandering bullshit as usual, so I don't actually know what he predicted. Nice to see this crew cementing their own irrelevance.
(8.55) 'I underestimated, I think, how much this country hates women. Like, this is not the main point, but you know Hillary Clinton had a lot of flaws that I had a hard time voting for her, and I didn't feel that same way about Harris in the sense of, like, I liked the Walls pick. The country agreed, she had high favourable numbers and Walls did as well, and Trump and Vance were below in negatives in favourability. And again that didn't matter but... she's a woman. and it made it a lot more difficult for her to communicate, even though she was extremely disciplined to stay on message... (etc etc)
I think this is what's called being a sore loser! Actually I think what made it 'difficult' for Harris to 'communicate' is that she's a pre-programmed corporate cipher who pushed her authentic humanity down into a pit decades ago in order to advance her career, and thus is incapable of displaying any relatable human feelings, or of presenting any kind of original thinking, or of responding to an unscripted question without coming across like a callous, giggling maniac.

Just glad she won't be on everything any more, cackling away in those endless, horrible zoot suits!

"...she's a woman. and it made it a lot more difficult for her to communicate..."
-Is this some new species of "woman" ? Aside from personal experience which concurs...I think every study that has ever been made on the subject has shown that women are better communicators than men.
Even with such an advantage the problem Harris had was that she didn't have any cogent message or idea to actually communicate.
Haven't checked in with these people for a while. Striking how it's nearly word for word the same prediction that Vigeland made above, albeit not all the swing states. But roe vs wade and jan 6th as the motivating factors and women who were going to save the day by voting for Harris in droves. Did they get handed the same script?
Appears to be handling the result with a bit more grace at least:
