Exactly. No one voted for Kamala. People didn’t vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. Hilary won the primary because Warren split the progressive vote and wouldn’t drop out.
Dems haven’t put forward a truly clean and charismatic leader since Obama.
Warren ran in 2020. Hillary won in 2016 because of superdelegate bullshit creating an air of inevitable victory before a single vote had been cast and the DNC actively working to suppress the Sanders campaign through smear tactics and a severely limited debate schedule.
Yep.
They saw trump and just saw an opportunity to do whatever they want because trump is terrible.
So we get stuck with unpopular candidates the country had rejected multiple times. Because the people calling the shots in the party just really weren't concerned about if trump won.
Letting a progressive become president means they name the head of the DNC, and that has ripple effects throughout DNC leadership they'll never be able to reclaim.
So they'd always prefer a Republican president and them retaining power to a progressive Dem becoming president.
We ain't fighting the same fight party leadership is fighting.
