Amanda Seals is fleeing Instagram after enraging critics with ‘idiotic’ claims that Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump because she campaigned like a ‘white man’
Amanda Seales’ statement about what it could cost the Democratic Party to occupy the White House for an extra 4 years was classified as “performative” in the times after the presidential election.
The artist hosted a discussion on Patreon on November 7 to highlight the error she believes cost Vice President Kamala Harris a victory over her Republican opponent Donald Trump on Election Day on November 5. The struggling former president won by 295 Electoral College votes… it took just 270 votes to win and no less than 73,512,000 votes forged for his re-election.
Harris collected 226 electoral votes and the support of over 69,186,000 voters. Widespread social media posts say about 15 million people voted on this election, although ballots are still being counted and a final tally is awaited. The GOP nominee announced his third bid for the November 2022 election, and Harris joined the race in July when President Joe Biden withdrew from it.
In video clips circulating online, Seales, who has been openly critical of Harris, might be seen speaking to her online audience.
During the live chat, she said: “You cannot ignore your base and win the election. That’s just the best way it is… They (Harris’ campaign team) may, you recognize, have some tricks up their sleeve and regardless of the hell, but… you possibly can’t be a black woman running like a white man and win the election. At least not for the true ones.
Moreover, the “Insecure” actress responded to a viewer who dismissed her statement that Harris had abandoned her base, presumably those that didn’t vote within the presidential race and those that selected to re-elect Trump.
“She didn’t give them anything interesting to vote on,” Seales said. “There were large groups of people begging to be noticed… but they were ignored.”
She then questioned the controversy, saying voters not courted by the twice-impeached leader must have been prioritized by the Democratic candidate through the campaign.
“Many of you watching now, in the following 4 years, you are going to have to get up and realize that it isn’t nearly f***ing you. … This version of fascism… can only be dealt with by connecting with individuals who are usually not you. “It’s not like you, hanging out with people who aren’t like you and making them feel at home,” she added in a snippet of the conversation circulating online.
Seales spoke truthfully about politics and faced it response in recent months. This time was no different, as her perspective was deemed “idiotic.” “Amanda, don’t piss me off, that’s not why this lady lost,” the critic wrote.
Someone else commented, “See why Issa won’t cheat on you,” referring to Seales’ feud with “Insecure” creator and star Issa Rae. Another person wrote: “I do NOT think she ignored her base. I feel Vice President Harris talked to every thing she could in a short period of time and DEFINITELY didn’t ignore black women or the community. At this point I consider Amanda is bullying for attention.
“Yes, I’m done with Amanda,” one other former fan said. “I tried to stay next to her, but she just said ‘st.’ Even if it’s true, why post it, why keep this conversation going while we as a whole are literally grieving!”
In the “I Be Knowin'” comic, he called Harris “disingenuous in her message” and criticized her for “revealing both sides” of her neck. Seales even accused the Harris campaign and Zionists of being behind the movement to “silence” her, leading to the cancellation of comedy shows and a shadow ban on her Instagram profile.

One person said, “She lost because she didn’t do enough tricks for white men and women.” A second person wrote: “Call things by their name. Kamala lost because she is a woman. Hillary Clinton, a white woman, lost to him. So Kamala, the WOC, who had much less time to run a full campaign, immediately had the world against her!”
And a third commenter said: “The numbers don’t lie. She lost because damn people didn’t vote! Trump got fewer votes than against Biden, but he still won this time because so many people didn’t vote at all.”
A fourth added: “Amanda Seales just loves saying idiotic nonsense.”
Exit Poll Breakdowns by US news show that Harris’s supporters were:
83% Black
56% Latino
43% white
52% were aged 18–29.
63% were geographically situated in “urban” areas.
At least one fan, who partially sided with Seales, suggested, “That’s actually what she accomplished since she was trying to get the Black votes instead of trying to get all the votes! She was trying to appeal to the black community with hip-hop music.”
However, the overwhelming response to the “Small Doses” podcast host’s comment was echoed in a comment that read, “Why don’t you go back to YOUR base and stay out of Black affairs?”
After months of tense interactions with people on Instagram, Seales left the platform. She speaks truthfully on various topics on her Patreon, where she exists more freely as a “realist”.
He considers the power a secure place where supporters can construct their souls away from “genocide apologists” and people complicit within the “collapse of a nation.”
