Yeah, with those margins fine tuning Biden or Harris's policy proposals would not have been enough. Which I think is Bernie's point: we need something like Medicare for all or a detailed Gaza peace plan to excite the base and the non-xenophobic voters

I guess now is an appropriate time to stop empathizing with people who empathize with the victims.

Oooph, that tracts with a lot of tech companies you hear about. It does fit a pattern of spending so much time courting a base that has proven to be very misogynistic.

Jesus Christ people, you're talking about a genocide.

If Genocide wasn't on the ballot than how can you accuse anyone of supporting a genocide by the way they voted?

Political parties don't learn, they respond to power.

They failed to predict voter sentiment so obviously they're right about the voters being at fault.

Big difference between this and 2016 is JD Vance is the adult, not Mike Pence. His ties to Peter Thiel is scary. Also we just had a billionaire buy votes, no way that is going to stop now.

Markets are cyclic and we're overdue for the AI bubble to pop. But I don't think that automatically means the Democrats can win another presidential election or win the Senate.

That or the many other demoralizing speeches. We did not need to hear Clinton talk about human shields.
