    Mad at her for what? Having little power as VP? Being out on the ballot? Even if she said no, the Dem party leadership would just have to quickly push someone in the same manner. All of the excuses are either complete bullshit or Trump would be worse. So stupid…

    That’ll send the Dems a message!

    What message?

    “The far-right gets more votes than a moderate, and there is no sizable left-wing voter bloc in this country”?

    Huh.

    Maybe that was the wrong message to send.

      If that’s their takeaway, then we’re doomed. They did nothing but court Republicans with their “We can be tough on migrants too” shit. It always blows up in their faces. Biden ran a moderately progressive campaign and blew Trump out of the water. Maybe… just maybe the supposed left party should stop courting the right. Most Americans agree with progressive policies (once you couch them to not sound too “socialist”)

      When Obama won on a message of hope and change they decided to use that popularity as currency in exchange for corporate/moderate policy.

      I wanted Harris to win. I hate Trump, but I can be mad at the Harris campaign for being shit and giving us Trump. I can be mad at everything.

        Obama at least managed to deliver the Affordable Care Act; which despite not being Medicare Part E (Medicare for All), was a significant improvement over what existed before.

        What the US needs is a proper progressive firebrand from the Dems; someone from the Bernie school - or hell, just pick from any one of the other Western democracies.

      He already won. You can stop actively trying to disenfranchise liberal voters now, thanks, Vladimir.

    Everything that’s coming: If you didn’t vote, you voted for it. If you voted Shill Stein, you voted for it. If you voted Trump and you “didn’t know it would be this way”, you’re as complicit as the non-voters and the boutique voters.

    Deliberate ignorance, a lack of critical thinking, and the propaganda that you allowed to game your emotions were all at play here.
