    Biden did a fantastic job and they listened to the people who thought Biden was too old and ran Harris who would have been great.

    Even if you don’t like her life would be a thousand times better right now for everyone in the world.

      A shame you don’t recognize how much of a problem the Democrats are. I voted blue just like I had in every election before then, but I was so angry and scared, because I saw all the mistakes they made that cost us everything. I saw them ignore young people on TikTok and Israel. I saw them shy away from every possible hint of populism. I saw as they denied that the economy was terrible, praying the inflation would even out even though inflation was merely the tip of the iceberg.

      Life would be 1000 times better if Harris won, but the fault lies squarely on the ruling class and the party elites. They refused to do what was necessary to unite their base, and as disappointed as we can be in the voters working 9-5s with no hope of ever owning a future, it was the party’s responsibility to win them over. Instead they underperformed in all those demographics because they refused to acknowledge problems or propose solutions. A party that has only become worse and will only fight the left.

      what i knew right after the election and will peach till they purge me

          Nah, what I’m saying is we need to take over the party and purge the feudalists acting as controlled opposition. That requires recognizing that there is a problem with the shit they feed us, not pretending that it’s anything but shit. That requires not doing the same fucking bullshit party elites do of denying that the situation is terrible. That requires not giving up and believing there is no other way than sucking corporate dick.

          Fear is how MAGA radicalized their base, and we have nothing but reasons to be afraid right now.

      WHAT? They refused to do it for so long it cost them the election.

      That is some bad historical revisionism when it’s so fresh in our memory.

        The party has told their sheep to ignore their history, it’s time for party funding and voting for the “lesser evil”.

        You’re not actually disagreeing. They did wait too long, but they did it. You agree. That in itself is important. Can you imagine any republiQan doing that? No, because they only think about themselves.

        Hell, they elected a demented rapist who’s stroking out every week instead of a legitimate candidate.

        Historical revisionism? Not at all.
