politics

It definitely seems like the real problem wasn't that Harris didn't make a good or compelling case that her opponent was unfit, it's that they didn't spend any time building up their own case for what they would do differently and instead tried to court the vanishingly small number of undecided moderates and, for some reason, Republicans who will still hate them no matter what they say.

There was plenty of time to run a good campaign after Biden got replaced, they just chose not to for some reason. Can't agree more that these guys should not be involved in politics anymore if they tried to prop up Biden for an entire month after the debate and bury their heads in the sand when he was polling in the toilet the entire time.

Well, they couldn't tell the truth and risk a more liberal candidate.

Yet, under his leadership, Minnesota passed some of the most ambitious progressive legislation in the country, including a child tax credit, universal free school meals, and free tuition at public colleges for families earning under $80,000 per year. Walz also delivered major labor victories, including paid family and medical leave and worker protections like banning non-compete clauses and anti-union captive audience meetings.

Nooooo Democrats ignore working peoplllllle! They’re terrible for the underserved!! Everyone knows that that’s why they looooossst!!

The campaign was fine. Americans are the problem. They're too ignorant.

If we're going to blame this ignorance on anyone we might consider blaming the media. Odd how we aren't seeing a lot of articles from the media saying the media failing to give information to people about how bad Trump is. But linked above is something from the media blaming a political campaign for not doing their jobs for them.

Still not doing any introspection about waiting until after the election to explain why Trump's "economic plan" will be a disaster, huh? Didn't bother to explain anything about what causes inflation. Wouldn't want people to think it's something to do with it being a free market, and not caused by the government. Nope, it's up to the campaigns to explain economics to people in 30 second TV spots.

So the media will continue blame the Democrats for all the problems, while wondering "why couldn't the democrats win the election"? Must be the democrats fault! It's like we've always been saying, it's always their fault! We should never think about what the effect of us blaming one party for everything might be.

But mostly it was just Americans taking democracy for granted. Don't know what you got until you've lost it I guess.

they'll try to run the exact same plan in 2028 if we let them. Its all they know how to do.

The Democratic party is an enemy of the American people, as much now as the Republican party always has been.

They don't fight for you to stop fascism. They enable it, step aside and let it walk past and say "well, we did all we can do".

Well, if all they can do is die, good riddance.

I think the big media companies probably knew this too but needed to create a false horse race for ratings and clicks

I mean, either every single pollster in every major news organization was just terribly off on their prediction or there was a push from the ownership to make this election 'more interesting'. (This is my own conspiracy theory and I have no sources to back this bullshit up with)

All VP Harris had to do was choose a running mate that wasn't Kaine-esque.

They needed a hard left firebrand to support Harris, and they chose a dude from an ABC Dad sitcom. He is a great governor. But that is not a world leader running mate.
