Extremely discouraging. I'm still incredulous that he got re-elected, and moreso that the democrats managed to fuck it up bad enough to lose to that fucking guy again
Can't fix dumbass Americans, no matter how good your campaign is.
Okay, but where do you go with that? What do you do with that? There's nothing you can do with "the voters are wrong" except to assure yourself that you're right as you keep getting your ass kicked by sociopaths, idiots, and clowns every election. It's loser talk.
The voters aren't wrong, the democrats need to get up off their ass, stop relying on not being the other guy, and actually give the no-voters a reason to show up to the polls.
I'll be honest, I can't even really be mad at them. I can't think of anything they should have done differently.
I don't know what you do when your economic plan is countered by "mine is better, I'll give you details later", and "immigrants will eat your pets".
How about not trying to pretend that Biden was fine all through the primary right up until he went up on the debate stage and blew his legs off on national TV? I think that probably would have been a great start.
You're kidding, right?
Thing #1, in giant flashing marquee letters, would've been "pick an AG who would've actually gone after the traitorous coup leader instead of sitting on his ass for two years." Remember, Merrick Garland's original qualification for his SCOTUS nomination was being so conservative that even Mitch McConnell had no excuse to reject him. It should've been blatantly obvious to everyone that that made him the absolute wrong choice for AG.
Things #2 - infinity can basically be summarized as "all the stuff that would actually help the working class, which the Democrats' major corporate donors would never actually allow them to do."
Thing 3: demand biden be a one term president and hold a legitimate primary instead of coronating Kamala who would of never won in a competitive primary that didn’t have the DNC ratfucking it.
Yup. If reality is subjective you can't really win an election without cornering the market on fear, which is the one thing Republicans are good at.
I’m of the belief they fucked up on purpose. It’s fraud (not the election, their behavior) so they can fundraise off it.
