    This is all a result of the weakness that voters allow for in supporting the lessor of two bad options rather than demanding more from our representatives.

    it’s too late now.

        He won because Democrats refused to engage themselves in introspection, and preferred to gaslight themselves with regards to legitimate criticisms of both the party and the candidate.

        Trump didn’t “win” this election any more than he “won” in 2020. He maintained the same vote share. Democrats lost voter ship, and if you are offering static around trying to address the issues that explain why that is, Trump winning is on you.

          supporting the lessor of two bad options

          Trump is not the lesser of two bad options. That’s all I’m saying. I have no idea what you’re trying to to say otherwise.

            you are repeating what amounts to the fundamental thesis of the Harris campaign. As a piece of rhetoric, the link “but Trump is worse”, will go down as the singularly most damaging rhetorical approach ever employed.

              Trump is worse. I’m not repeating anyone. If you can’t see that, idk what else to say to you.

                  Take some time off. You’re not making any sense and you’re saying ridiculous things.

                  I hope you feel better in a few days.

        she lost because she didn’t feel she needed to have policies popular among her voters, her base.

        The people who lost this election for us were those defending the candidates position on the indefensible, with lines like “But Trump is worse”

      It’s too late for this now, but this video succinctly explains why this line of thinking doesn’t apply under first past the post:

      The correct move was everybody backs Kamala and then busts her balls on progressive issues.
