Also the campaign was bad. Not a soul here on lemmy or anywhere else is going to personally out-message a national campaign. People are obviously more enthusiastic to vote for something than to vote against something else, and that's what it came down to.
Be mad at your party, they threw this election right before your eyes and you plugged your ears and went "lalalala! trump voter says what!" when we tried to tell you that you needed to pressure them to do more or they were going to lose anyways.
Right?
They want progressives to be both a small minority they can ignore, but also 17 million people?!
That would make them 20% of the party...
If 20% of your own party can out message your own campaign, then it's a shit campaign. Even before factoring in the billion plus dollars you compromised the party platform to raise and the fact that the opponent is trump.
We can't keep letting the DNC be the only other option. They're clearly not capable of it.
I remember people here getting crapped on for saying Biden should drop out and let someone else run.
Yet the moment he did, it became some 4D chess move that was going to win the election.
And then the same people were crapped on for "selfishly" asking for a primary to choose a candidate instead of being force fed Harris.
The most delusional person I saw was someone who was convinced the uncommitted movement was backing Harris, after getting banned from the DNC rally for not unconditionally backing Harris....
