Harris/Biden ran a dumb campaign. You cant only blame the voters for the loss. They didnt own those campaign decisions.

It is entirely true. No superdelegate can vote in the initial primary vote.

they change that rule as needed every election.

And, blocked user. You have yourself a nice day now “rapidcreek”

right, also known as a war crime.

He didnt forget, he just doesnt care. Most dems dont care at all about browns in other countries. They occassionally pretend to, for whatever reason, but they are well aware that some bad stuff happen to keep the wheels of the empire oiled.

Bidens 2019 promise to rich donors: “No ones standard of living will change”

Promise kept. Too bad he lost the lower and middle class with that, but it was past time for the charade to be over anyway.

He could implement a max age on everyone paid by the federal government that would cover judges as well.

Against expanding the court. Against single payer. Against eliminating the filibuster, Against using the 14th to get around budget hostage taking. Against womens reproductive rights. Against Sanders’s push to stop weapons shipments in the genocide. Until now against long range missiles for Ukraine, against defund and reallocate, against citizens rights when dealing with police.

against against against.

You’ve cut off your nose to spite your face and indeed here we all are.

Except its not a game of winning the popular vote is it. And I’m in a bright blue state, so my vote basically didnt matter at all. It was a contest of winning the swing states.

And was it the voters who owned the campaign choices or was it harris? There should be accountability for making campaign choices. Are you claiming Harris had no choices in how she ran her campaign?

Seems to me your are using abuser logic.

Contrived explanations couched in self indulgent and imperious insults, just like the Biden/Harris campaign. And you lot wonder why so many voters didnt bother to get off the couch.

You’ve learned less than nothing and are even worse now than before. I see a lot of calls to move the party rightward, cloaked in a very vague rejection of “wokeness”. And you expect to win any election like this? Out-republicanning the republicans has been tried so many times by the liberals and its never worked. And yet you lot keep running the same play every time.

I guess I should be happy you make the case for a progressive party easier, but damn, its disappointing that we even need to do it.

Being self centered and tribal is more the norm than ever before in my lifetime. Its going to be a very bumpy next 50 years for people who come into the world now.

I vote

yeah I got a good chuckle out of that.

It seems like vanishingly few people in the US care about the good of broader humanity anymore. Destroying the environment is fine as long as it creates jobs. Poisoning the water tables forever with fracking is fine as long as it makes cheap gas. Genocide was supported by both parties in the last election. Both parties are waving guns around even as school kids die in ever more frequent mass shootings. Its a race to the bottom and no one cares to change course.

She is only saying it because she is positive the files will never get released.

Its actually clever. When the repubs block the release of the reports she will claim the dems balked at releasing the reports because they are the dirty ones.

I know you see it as saving a parent, because for whatever contrived reason you cant save both, but letting one of your parents die instead of fighting for whats right is actually a pretty decent metaphor for voting for Harris.

Where your metaphor falls apart though is that Harris could have chosen to break with bad policies and forge her own way forward on the genocide and the economy, and she just didnt bother. No one ever had to die, and she didnt need to lose. All she had to do was try to do the right thing and be worthy of the office, and she didnt do that. So here we all are.

lack of willingness to vote strategically

by “voting strategically”, you mean swallowing a deeply flawed and compromisesd republican-lite candidate who is owned by special interests, right?

Yeah why wouldnt people want to get behind that, its a real mystery.

By inspiring them.

self reported highly engaged tend to be dems and less engaged tend to be republican. Not much of an insight to weave an entire article from. And then they quote zionist ball-licker John fetterman kicking progressives. Garbage article from a butthurt centrist wanting to lash out because of their own bad choices.

At least to keep them busy for a few weeks.

itll take minutes to undo.
