I do blame them, though. They could have ridden the coattails of Biden’s withdrawal all the way to victory, but instead Hartis capitulated and palled around on stages with Republicans instead of Walz.
The failure of the Democrat campaign has a lot of causes, but none more so than the failure of leadership.
What backlash? All I see is Republicans making a mountain out of a molehill.
I used to work for HostGator and sadly that sounds about right. They started going downhill fast after the second buyout.
Didn’t he go fash?
Also, the immunity wanes over time. You can get tested for the antibodies and get a booster if necessary.
I’m old enough to remember the '94 crime bill.
What “left”? The Democrats are a moderate right-wing party that have done more to keep actual left-wingers out of power than the Republicans.
You’re talking about ancient history. The Democrats went full-fash in '94 with the crime bill.
Since when? For my entire life they’ve been more concerned with bipartisanship and appeasing right-wingers than opposing them.
A lifetime of lived experience.
They’ve always been sham elections, they’re just pulling down the curtains that kept most folks believing in the lie.
Saving lots of money by hiring back the essential workers they just fired at double their salary, lol~
I think you’ll find that it’s much easier to fight the system when you aren’t on its lists.
Short version: forces applied to solid objects move at the speed of sound in that object.
Lets say your stick is made of steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 19,000 feet/second. Assuming you could push hard enough for the force to be felt on the other end, it’d take over 18 hours for your partner on Earth to feel your push from the moon.
The Left isn’t divided, it’s unrepresented.
The Democrats are a conservative capitalist party, which might be better than a fascist party but it’s still right-wing.
I agree with you, except the Democrats are only “left” when compared to Republicans. The USA has a conservative party and a fascist one.
That is a very difficult argument to make convincingly when we just had an election where the incumbent was forced off the ballot mere weeks from election day and their replacement might have won if she’d been allowed to be a “hope and change” candidate instead of promising to preserve her predecessor’s status quo.
You can’t dismantle the DNC and put forward a replacement leading candidate in the fall of an election year.
Of course you can. Only the USA has a 2-year election season, every other developed country on the planet does their elections in a matter of weeks.
The discussion on “hold your nose and vote for Harris, to keep trump out” has an unsaid (but often completely said) primer clause of “the DNC is shit and must change, it’s a priority of 2025 and beyond.”
I haven’t seen one Harris voter claiming they were stoked about her or the DNC.
Sounds to me like you should be begging forgiveness from the voters for holding their nose and making the election as close as it was.
Trump IS a moral dilemma
Trump is a consequence of the Democrats’ failure to live up to their own name. Bernie would have won in 2016 if the party leadership didn’t deliberately shut him out to run “She whose turn it was”.
, and given one vote, and no time to change things, the only option is to reduce harm. THEN build a better future.
Cool. So, now that we’re past that point, can we please stop playing the blame game and focus our attention on the “building a better future” part?
That’s the problem with treating an election like a moral dilemma, this perspective forces you to take the party itself for granted.
You sat and watched as the Democrats set up a Trolley Problem, but you’re blaming the people they put at the switch rather than they who tied us to the tracks in the first place.
Cool. Wake me up when Trump and Elon start caring about behaving lawfully.
