    As an outsider, I think you’re not on the side of the meme that you think you’re on.

    If not voting for Trump wasn’t enough for Harris to win, she sure didn’t act like it. “Nothing to change” from the policies of the guy who was forced to step down wasn’t what the people wanted to hear.

      I mean he was asked to step down because of the worry that his mental faculties, not due to his policies. Remember, it was right after his first debate with Trump. The following debate, Kamala roasted Trump.

        Hold on, last election he refused to say so explicitly, but he repeatedly implied he wouldn’t run for a second term and described himself as a bridge candidate. Then he demanded a second term at the last minute.

          How did he “demand a second term in the last minute”? The assumption is a president will run for re election.

        Yeah, except for the whole genocide thing. But mostly college kids protested that. You can just beat up those.

            There were many of people who demanded Biden to step down, as he supported Israels genocide against Palestinians. The reasons you describe cover the party elites and many people in general, but Bidens support for genocide and Harris continuation of that support were part of the reasons why the Democrats lost to Trump again.

            Regardless of the actual outcome, I assume that most people who didn’t vote for her didn’t intend on helping Trump. Otherwise, they would have voted for him.

            You want people to vote for you, it’s not enough to simply not vote for the other guy.

      This has been explained. Answering anything else was a PR trap.

        A basic move would’ve been: “I will move to have better policies than before. Rally with our party and we will commit to changing course for working class families.”

        It could’ve been as empty a promise as her opposition made, but that would’ve been basic competant campaigning. Easiest trap to avoid ever.
