      Right, but with that much money they could have paid for Ubers for all of their missing voters in PA/MI/WI to get to the polls, and possibly nationwide. I thought they said they had a superior GOTV operation. Where did the vote go?

        It also turns out, courting your opponents base isn’t as helpful as rallying your own.

          No,I reject that argument. It’s not a zero sum game. There is no reason why the Democrats couldn’t be the party for everyone.

            There very certainly is, because the Democrats should not be the party for Nazis.

            As has been shown this election, the Republican party are Nazis. Trying to influence the mythical “good” Nazis to vote for Harris was a terrible idea to begin with.

              At least they were the ones who saw Trump for what he really was, and wanted no part of it. Surely that has to count for something on the scale of 1 to Nazi.

                What? They saw his base and said “well we have to capitulate with the extreme right, if we want to win we have to be conservatives.” Well if you wanna be republicans so bad then go fucken register. I’m done with the dems. Signing up for the socialist and arming myself right now. Its over, here comes White Christian Nationalism and all engulfing inequality.
