      When your platform is all about “hey at least I’m not that guy”, it doesn’t inspire people to vote

          That was also part of Trump’s platform. You can generally take whatever bad thing is happening at the moment and blame it on whoever is in charge in the moment. The only time that doesn’t work is when most people agree that things are going well.

            The Dems also keep running as Republican Light. But if you are interested in Republican Light you’ll probably just vote Republican.

            I think Jon Stewart had a good assessment of this the other night and the fact that the messaging coming out of the DNC is “we lost for running too far left” means they will try again next time too.

          That was Hillary’s platform, Biden’s platform, and Harris’s platform.

            Is the memory of voters really so poor?

            How are we supposed to avoid repeating the mistakes of history when the voting public can’t even remember why they scrambled to get out and vote for Biden 4 years ago?

            I mean, if Harris lost to somebody like Romney or McCain, sure I could see that voters weren’t excited by the campaign plus the racism/sexism angle. But to just ignore how absolutely insane Trump was as President, and all the open messaging about how next time will be worse, never mind all the criminal and traitorous stuff… it’s insane.
