that's why i gave kudos to those people instead last month https://lemmy.world/comment/11376547

the fears were wrong but understandable. if AOC wasn't sure there was enough support behind Harris you're allowed to be wrong too.

now there's great and unified energy behind the democratic party for the first time since Obama. just enjoy it and try your best to keep it up. going for an "i told you so" right now is petty.

Yeah, the “I told you so”s feel like infighting just to fight your own side

i mean there was some infighting at the time, and i participated in it saying he should drop out. other people were saying he shouldn't. that's infighting and it makes sense. people were in disagreement about what should be done next.

but now it's over. there's pretty much unanimous consensus that it was the right thing to do. now that there's no disagreement, bringing up the time where there was, just to feel better about yourself is silly and pointless.

Hard disagree.

This is a teachable moment that should be treated as an opportunity for growth.

Everyone who was wrong about the need for Biden to drop out of the race needs to do some introspection so that they don't repeat the flawed political analyses that led them to support the wrong primary candidate.
