“But nobody saw this coming.”
Except everyone saying “Vote Harris, Trump is a dumpster fire, vote Harris… WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? VOTE HARRIS! You WANT Trump in office? Vote Harris!”
They were too insignificant to listen to. Now they’re significant enough to blame.
Yup. We’re past the pre-election period where progressive groups are loud minority that need to be ignored because listening to their fringe views will alienate the average voter. Now we’re in the post-election period, where progressive groups are powerful bullies who cost the Democrats the election because they wouldn’t meet their unreasonable demands.
There always is some justification for ignoring progressives and moving to the right.
Yeah. They spend their elections chasing moderates, then when the moderates don’t vote for them, they blame the progressives.
