I get where you're coming from, I do, but milquetoast is an optimistic definition.

There are multiple sources claiming that internal polls showed trump winning 400 electoral college votes while Biden was still running. Straight up LYING to donors, constituents, and media. A "competent administrator" would've held an honest primary. Not tried to shove this man uncontested down everyone's throats.

It's seems incredibly disingenuous to put this all on the voters. At some point you need to admit that the entire democratic party straight up shot themselves in the foot. It also does NOT seem to be a stretch to assume that it was well known in inner circles that he was NOT in his right mind anymore and had NO GOOD REASON to run again at his age.

I agree with you. Trump sucks. A paper bag could've defeated Trump. so why the hell didn't the democrats just walk down to cub foods and grab one, instead of refusing to get off their asses, rummaging in their couch cushions looking for something to throw in the ring?

Dems need to stop blaming the voters, do some introspection, and admit to themselves that they completely screwed this up all on their own.
