This motherfucker can fuck off. He helped the DNC crush Bernie Sanders run in 2020. Also he is a fucking neoliberal who steals titles now.
Add that he enabled the Biden disaster to the list. He was supposedly his mock debate partner and didn't raise any red flags about Biden's mental health. Seriously, fuck that guy.
Bidens mental health was never the issue. Its why right wingers switched to a new attack as soon as Harris was put in and havent mentioned a single thing about trumps mental health which is arguable worse than biden ever was.
Sure, if you want to rewrite history that could be true. Everyone was fearful of Biden's mental health because they kept him out of the public. Then, when he did the debate, he confirmed everyone's fears. It wasn't that long ago, how have you already forgotten?
and when they brought out a candiate without that concern it changed nothing for all the right wingers who were saying I cant vote for biden because mental health. Now bring up trumps mental health to them and they are oblivious. So I dont know how anyone can argue it was ever a valid concern to voters who choose not to vote dems.
That wasn't Kamala's problem. You really do have a short memory. She lost because she also wasn't a good candidate. You can't invalidate Biden's issues because Kamala lost. They both had their own issues. Biden polled the worst against Trump. Kamala polled the second worst against Trump.
She lost because she had the same garbage policies of Biden. Having a border cop at the DNC tell us that Harris would be stronger at the border, The Most Lethal Military, while no Palestinian spoke, promises for policies that were so complicated and means-tested nobody expected they would benefit told the voters they'd get more of the same from.
She lost because more people wanted Trump and it was never about age or policy or leadership. Mindless people got swept up in the right wing hype because every single right winger was shouting from the roof tops about how great Trump was while lefties were attacking their candiates.
Leftists were telling their candidate what they needed to do to win. Instead of promising immediate improvements in peoples material conditions, they gave us genocide and Trump's 2020 platform.
You're projecting. Just because you think of elections as a team sport with no connection to policy, doesn't mean everyone else does.
If you think Harris did as badly as Biden would have if he'd stayed till election, you're only fooling yourself. It would have been the biggest Republican sweep since Reagan.
harris was a curveball and they couldnt compensate quickly enough, but harris misstep was tamping down her rhetoric, and now trying elicit hispanic and aa voters.
Also, her interview answer about not doing anything different from the Biden administration was political malpractice of the first order.
The fact that she seemed completely caught off guard for what was possibly the most obvious question definitely didn't help. Of all questions to not prepare for...
Oh nooooo, he's not perfect! Let's elect trump again.
We can't criticize the Democrats now?
Up to you. Do you think it'll help us win?
See, I write to them. I call them. I influence them. You, you're influencing voters. Is that a winning strategy?
Who's "us"? We're against the uniparty. Not in favor of it.
Good thing the idea of a "uniparty" is fucking idiotic and not even remotely close to correct and is just a pathetic excuse for Republicans who don't want to admit that they're in favor of everything going on.
Until we have ranked choice, "us" is the anti Republican contingent.
You never vote FOR a candidate in a first past the post election. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. And not voting counts as a vote for who you hate most because it lowers their bar to win. It's unfortunately how the math works out.
I hate Democrats most because they block any meaningful progress to an alternative. What does that mean?
Voters vote in primaries too you know. Biden beat Bernie almost entirely on a myth that he was the most electable. That shit has to go, and Rachel Maddow and Chris Cuomo aren't going to do that for us.
Lol. Someone has a self inflated sense of themselves
I see you're part of the crowd that doesn't understand that not enough Americans wanted Bernie to make Bernie happen.
I like Bernie. I'm also aware enough to understand liking someone doesn't mean everyone else does.
