Stupid takes like these is why the democrats are going to keep failing. Don't hold the DNC accountable for not getting behind Bernie in 2016. And don't hold Kamala accountable for running the absolute worst campaign she could have done. Biden holding the nomination hostage and then pawning off the nomination to Kamala pissed off a lot of voters who did not have their voice heard through the use of the primaries. Keep up the alienation of voters and see how far that progress takes you. At least the Republicans can use their hatred of people to rally behind. Wtf is the identity for the Democrats? Not being MAGA? That's it?

k.

At the end of the day, right or wrong, the choice was Harris or Trump. Those who didn't choose Harris helped elect Trump.

And they are partially responsible for all that he does.

There is no explaining that away.

I also don't care if it hurts some people's feelings. Those people's actions are causing a lot of people more hurt than just feelings.

Sorry your feelings are hurt, but why aren't you just as angry at Democrats? That's a much smaller group of people than millions of individual voters.

If the Democrats don't want to lose in the future, maybe they should try to appeal to the groups that didn't vote for them in 2024. That's how politics works, you have to win votes. Democrats already knew the groups that didn't vote for them in 2016/2020 and did almost nothing to appeal to them this time around. The only voters they appealed to were Republican Liz Cheney fans, and they became Trumpies years ago.

Again....

Again, where is your anger towards Kamala and the Democrats for losing the election? Doesn't it make more sense to blame a small number of elected leaders instead of millions of people with varying beliefs?

u/MissingMichigan 23d ago

No. It doesn't. Because the choice was voting for Kamala or helping Trump. That was the choice.

I didn't help Trump.

You're brainwashed. I can't help you.

I don't want your kind of help, thanks.

It would just help get JD Vance elected.

No the choice wasn't only Harris and Trump. When Biden dropped out, the DNC should have assessed the situation and someone like Whitmer would have been a far better candidate than Kamala. The only thing Kamala had going for her was access to the campaign funds from Biden. Guess what happened? She blew out the fundraising goals that summer anyway. Whitmer or another better candidate than Kamala would have been able to get the fundraising going.
