    And how did that work out? Did people come out to vote for the Dems?

    Maybe if they had listened to the polls, the Dems would have had a candidate that people were willing to vote for in the main election

      They listened to their voters. It was a primary election. Not sure what the disconnect is here unless its your fantasy disconnected with reality.

        The disconnect is obvious to me, but to spell it out: They were terrible candidates that the majority of General Election voters didn’t want. Those voters made that quite clear before the primaries, and were ignored. Then the Primary Election voters got behind the bad choice anyway.

        But General Election voters had already abandoned the Democrats, and rightfully so. The Primary Vote was only among those that were willing to vote for whatever terrible candidates the DNC pushed on them.

          I’m a consequential, so by saying this you’re just admitting to being a conservative cuck and a Trump supporter as a consequence of your actions.

            I’m not sure what a “consequential” is, but I’m not a Trump supporter, nor am I a conservative. I proudly voted against him.

              Your actions support Trump. Your words promote him.

                If you are not on my team, you are the enemy. If you are not on my team hard enough, you are the enemy. If my team does not win it is not their fault, but yours, as you are the enemy.

                Why are people not voting “correctly”? Don’t they know my team are the good guys? Don’t they know they are supposed to like my team?
