the smart move was to frame it as her running against Biden to undercut trump’s message as the anti-establishment candidate.
Exactly. The fact is that the DNC, their consultants, and their apologists in mainstream and social media, do not know how to win elections. They were insistent on these strategies that many were saying were obvious failures (at the time), and are only more obviously failures after the fact.
If you were a consultant on this campaign: you should never get a job in politics again.
If you were a media head congratulating Kamala on the “most successful campaign of all time” (I mean, she got Queen Latifa right? Nobody gets Latifa /s), no one should ever listen to you again.
If you were on Lemmy or any other social media defending these shitty strategies, or using the now painfully idiotic rhetoric of Blue No Matter Who, no one should ever take you seriously.
Pay attention to who got it right before hand and who got it wrong. Stop listening to the idiots who got it wrong, and especially stop listening to those who were told they were getting it wrong and proceeded anyways.
I don’t think it’s that they don’t know how to win; I think that they’re unwilling to do what is necessary (i.e. give up on neoliberalism and piss off big business donors) to win.

If you’re at the top of a system, giving up the system is a loss state in and of itself.
