    I just wish him telling the world what he was going to do would have fired people up in November.

      People were really fired up for the generic democrat against Trump. People were not fired up for the geriatric democrat that actually was running.

        Harris was a geriatric?

          Many people drew a direct line between Biden’s weaknesses and the Harris campaign, and Harris didn’t really try that hard to differentiate the two. She might have if there was an actual primary, but we’ll never know.

              He ran twice and lost twice. Average democrats are too indoctrinated and don’t want radical things like education or healthcare, let alone Republicans from the church of fox.

                The DNC admitted that they threw it to Hillary the first time. And the second time they had to beg Biden out of retirement to find an alternative to Bernie. It’s infuriating, Bernie has never been given a real chance.

                  He was given a chance in 2020 and lost by a pretty large margin. I voted for him twice. The reality is progressives are not popular, even within the Democratic party. If we want that to change, we need to first convince people from the bottom up instead of expecting some kind of top down change.

                  They favored Clinton, but they didn’t falsify votes or anything like that, democrats still voted for her (and Biden) in masses.

              What efforts? “Not Trump” was factually “Not enough”. Wish it was, but unless you deny the electoral results, Harris need something other than “Not Trump” to win.

                Controversial I know, but I think saying “hey we’re not going to recklessly break the country and sell off the peices to our rich friends” does make you better than the person who will just break stuff.

                Either way the protest votes still had 0 effect on the results of the election.

          Na, people had hope Harris would be different. Then she quashed it.

            You, and everyone like you, let perfect be the enemy of good and progress.

            You, and the ones like you, are fools.

              I, and people like me, want to be able to vote on our party’s nominee instead of it being decided for us. If people like you think wanting democracy is the enemy of good and progress, then Trump and his kingship worldview has already won.

                Hmm… it’s almost like you can’t just one issue a problem away. It’s almost like being a one issue idiot is the cause of what we are seeing right now… Hmmm…

                It’s almost like progress takes time, while dismantling shit takes a week… HMMM…

                It’s almost like we, unfortunately, have to work for progress brick by brick… HMMMMMMMMM…

                It’s almost like you and everyone like you being complacent about the takeover of the USA is why we are where we are now… HMMMMMMMMMMM…

                It’s almost like you and those like you will now never get what you say you want…

                Who would’ve thought, right?

                Put your best jester outfit on, because the new king of the USA has fools like you to thank for his reign. I’m sure he would clap for you to do more of your silly little dances. You know… “for democracy”.

                  I will never stop fighting for democracy. I was out knocking doors and calling people for Harris, as “imperfect” as she was, all while you got drunk vodka in your Russian troll farm celebrating the fall of American democracy.

                  You are right about one thing. Time will tell, and you and your authoritarian ilk will eventually be defeated.

                  Good day, 🇷🇺 troll. I am blocking you now.

                    The adults will take over from here, and once again, clean up the mess of fools like you.

                    Have a good day! :)
