    Yes and, better candidates get more voters. The DNC did not address rising costs when they had the most power to do so. They didn’t run primaries even though a very unpopular incumbent was not doing well in press conferences months before the debates. Then when they did offer up another candidate they did not differentiate themselves from the unpopular policies of the incumbent.

    It was so frustrating to watch.

      And at the end of it, the people who just wanted complicit silence from a fed up electorate will blame everyone who was unhappy.

      Kamala 100% addressed rising costs by saying we needed to outlaw price gouging on groceries. That Medicaid should cover in-home care. By giving tax credits for children. By giving tax credits for home ownership and starting a new business.

      She addressed this a lot and had a lot of things she wanted to do to curb it. I’m tired of that talking point. Shows how little people paid attention.

      Yeah, we didn’t get proper primaries. It sucks

      I’m still blaming the people who stayed at home or voted third party just as much as I’m blaming maga.

      Ignorant, self absorbed citizens who don’t care who gets hurt if they don’t get what they want.

      Over it.

        I understand you feel that way. I agree that the market would be more stable, ICE would not be doing mass deportations, Musk wouldn’t be the idiotic agent of chaos destroying needed programs, and things as a whole would be better if Harris were in office. However the DNC dropped the ball.

        Either way you need to be upset at the DNC. It’s their job to get the vote and package the candidates and start outreach. That did not happen in 2024.

        Edit: Kamala did nothing to whip up votes in the Senate, where the VP holds considerable sway, especially with a Democratic majority, to pass a bill about price gouging and corporate greed. It was a measured campaign trail response to Trump and the right bleeting about gasoline prices and food prices…that increased during Trump’s last presidency. If they cared they wouldn’t have kept saying GDP is good so you must be good. They would’ve passed something. They didn’t.

        So now under Trump we have skyrocketing prices again. And due to Musk’s influence in the cabinet we’re barreling towards a recession again.

          I can be upset at the Democrats AND people like you.

          The Dems, Maga, third party voters and the people who stayed at home because they weren’t getting what they want, you’re literally all to blame.

          Own it.

              I don’t believe you based on your original response. I think you’re backpedaling.

              Have a good one

              Thanks for helping make this place worse

              Not wasting any more time on this.

                Hahahaha ok buddy, have fun up there on the high road with the DNC, you should totally blame the voters that y’all couldn’t convince. Loving all of sources you’re posting to support your argument.

                Make sure you lash out at any criticisms of what didn’t work, just do the same shit that got Trump elected twice. Genius.

                Can’t wait to see the movement you build yelling at people who held their nose and voted for Harris as a method of harm reduction. We’ll just keep protesting and getting arrested.

                Make sure you have the correct bumper sticker on your car and wear your I Voted sticker. That’ll totally keep you out of the camps.
