My brother was doing this earlier.
I was criticizing the DNC, and he would agree, but then start trotting out "but the Republicans blocked them on that," or "the Republican media made that look worse," and so on.
And I called him on it every single time: stop letting them get away with that excuse, the electorate are tired of it! Hold them accountable for failing to be more popular than fascism!
Even giving them the benefit of the doubt of "Republicans blocked them," ok... It's been since at least Obama they've been doing that, why can't a party of Harvard and Yale law school graduates not come up with a counter strategy to that after, hmmm, over a decade?
Why'd the cookie go to the hospital?
He was feeling crummy!
What'd the envelope say to the stamp?
Stick with me, kid, we'll go places.
Liberals will do any amount of mental gymnastics to point the finger at anyone but themselves.
Harris lost Michigan by less people than voted Uncommitted during the primaries. They might be a "fringe group," but Harris sure could've used some of their votes, don't you think?
A reasonable person understands running the same strategy over and over and expecting different results is literally the definition of insanity.
But it's perfectly ok for the DNC to trot out nothing but the status quo for their voters? After over a decade, they can't promise anything beyond "not fascism" to their voters and the rest of the population?
And I already answered you: Harris needed to convince voters to vot for her, or against Trump. That's a politicians job during a campaign, and she failed miserably.
So now explain to me why the average voter has to keep swallowing a shit sandwich, but the political party that keeps failing using the same failed strategy, why don't they have to change? Why is it so unreasonable for them to adopt more popular, progressive policies that voters actually want?
I'll wait, you can go ahead and explain that.
I voted for Harris. Roughly 60% of American voters who are eligible don't vote.
Harris needed to convince those voters that she was either worth voting for, or Trump was worth voting against.
She failed to convince them of either, so they stayed home, along with 14 million Dem voters she failed to convince to vote blue like they did in 2020.
Do you think it accounted for the 14 million Dem voters who voted in 2020 but stayed home in 2024?
I doubt it.
DNC Leadership: Is "left" your people's way of saying "status quo?"
Grifting and insider trading.
