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.
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.
Let's not forget Biden, who dragged his old ass around on the carpet until the 11th hour before being forcibly ousted by his backers. Same guy who "committed" to being a one term president...until his enormous ego wouldn't allow him to let go.
Cap that off with anointing Kamala instead of any democratic process, like Primaries, and the argument could be made that Biden ushered this entire timeline into existence.
That's the right attitude tbqh
Maybe disappointed at the Harris campaign and mad at the fascists who voted for trump
Mad and extra mad.
That's fair
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.
