    I don’t agree. The dnc opted to go with a strategy of, “we don’t need to listen to the will of the voters, and we’ll double down on doing the same gd thing we’ve always done, you either get on board, or bad-man wins!”

    People want change. DNC refused to make even the hint of willingness to change, it’s no surprise they lost so many voters.

    This was entirely avoidable.

    My only hope is that the DNC will finally wake the fuck up and introduce an actual progressive platform. But shit, I said the same thing when Hillary tanked. So why would it be different now?

      People want change.

      Nah, Americans want cheap groceries and they’re willing to kill the world for it because they don’t understand that the President doesn’t control prices of eggs.

      actual progressive platform

      Compare Harris’ policy with Biden’s and Clinton’s.

        People literally were claiming she had no platform and no ideas. You could send them to her platform page and they wouldn’t go.

      Disagree.

      He is such a shithead they should have been able to run a piece of timber against him and still won. The best candidate is any other candidate.

        If I asked you to describe the candidates to me, and you started with Trump, I would say, “I don’t need to hear who the other candidates are. I’m voting against this guy.”

        If an inanimate piece of timber could have won, then clearly the candidate that actually ran did something wrong.

        Now imagine if the DNC would let us have a primary to pick our own special piece of timber…we might actually win an election.

      Unpopular opinion: I would vote that all people who don’t vote are first in line to be drafted with last pick on positions, aka front lines. It would help us to get people to actually care about voting.

      Shoot, they are kicking 15,000 trans people out? Guess they should auto fill their ranks back up with non voters.
