    False. The democrats ran a terrible campaign. Biden refused to step down, until it was too late to primary. They forced a candidate upon the country without a democratic process. Their campaign had terrible messaging and was tone deaf to the real situation the working class faces. They were unable to convince millions of voters that showed out for them last time to show up again. The democrats are more concerned with protecting their donors than they are protecting the working class and winning. Until you and everyone else oblivious can come to grips with this, nothing will change.

    And before you say anything stupid, I voted for her.

      OP isn’t wrong and neither are you. Democrats didn’t show up, republicans did that is why Harris lost.

      But Harris lost because of everything you wrote as well.

      Don’t forget the last 4 years of failing to deliver any meaningful improvements for the people who voted in 2020 or even stopping republicans from banning abortion. Also a year and a half of facilitating genocide while encouraging universities to beat the shit out of the very same politically-active students who would otherwise be campaigning for the democrats.

        What were they supposed to do without enough votes to pass policy? That doesn’t excuse them from not taking the gloves off and being very vocal about the roadblocks.

        Gaza, while an issue is not moving the needle for the majority of voters.

          Use executive orders. Instead of asking the SCOTUS to tell texas to remove the child drowning fence across the rio, and look like you don’t actually want it gone, send in a tank to tear it out. The commander in chief can just do that. They can also order military hospitals to provide women with reproductive healthcare.

          Did you not remember the Trump administration, where he’d try something new every week, and even if it did get shut down, getting told “no” after you’ve already accomplished what you wanted is better than not trying at all.

          Appoint a head of the DoJ that would throw Trump in prison and investigate Manchin’s family.

          Appoint a head of the DEA who would actually reschedule cannabis. You don’t need congress for these things.

            This is instance-based hate speech, a direct violation of rule 6.

              Please define “hate speech,” because you’re suggesting that your incapability of nuance is an immutable aspect of your character… Just saying.

                Life is better if you bring a sense of humor, stranger.
