Maybe Harris should’ve made it a centerpiece of her campaign rather than the message of normality, ‘they go low we go high’, and ‘being the adults in the room’ style of ‘bipartisanship’ which appeals to Beltway types and other such Very Important Commenters, but is viewed indifferently by most of the country.
Fuck, man, I’m not trying to assign 100% of the blame to the Dems. This election was fucked from top to bottom, and ultimately the responsibility lays with the American people for voting in fascism. But it’s hard not to be pissed at the Dems for trying nothing new and being all out of ideas.
Well I’m pretty glad they tried something like the IRA, chips, and infrastructure.
I’m explicitly talking about campaigning, not policy. Unfortunately, campaigning matters as much as, or more than, policy, when it comes to winning elections.
Ah, so including the comment I already noted, you blamed abstainers in another conversation. Sorry I was only paying attention to our discussion, in which you did not blame anyone but Dems until the comment I already noted.
If you’re claiming to not put all the blame on Dems I look for evidence of it, and in our conversation I found that was substantially lacking except for the comment in which you claimed it. The previous comments in our conversation did not outline your view in that regard.
I’m also not running a nationwide campaign in which the opinions of the electorate are key to my survival. I made a comment to bitch about one of the specific parties responsible for this loss under an article about said party trying to burnish its credentials at a point when it no longer matters.

Where in your comments did you assign any blame to anyone else but here?

Didn’t realize I had to itemize my criticisms any time I wanted to bitch.

You know, messaging and all…

Fuck’s sake.
