And how did that work out? Did people come out to vote for the Dems?

Maybe if they had listened to the polls, the Dems would have had a candidate that people were willing to vote for in the main election

Voters were saying it very loudly, the Democratic leadership just ignored them. Polls were very clear that nobody wanted either of them to run, and they both had a low approval ratings. The ticket wasn't his to give, it was up to the voters. The Democrats chose to skip the voters, so the voters abandoned them.

I don't see why anyone would expect voters to stick with a party that treats it's base so disrespectfully.

I feel like your missing that many people do see the Democrats as the bad guys, and I can't say that I blame them. We recently asked them to say "Genocide is bad, and we won't support it" and they wouldn't. They are the baddies

Maybe the Democrats should prove the complainers wrong. The Democratic leadership has had plenty of opportunity to build trust amongst the voters, and decided to ignore them instead. They've spent years letting their voters down, which is why they aren't trusted.

A rigged primary, where the voters weren't really given a choice. Voters were very vocal that they didn't want him to run again, and the leadership openly ignored them. Next time, maybe the leadership should listen to the base that they claim they represent.

I seeing us everywhere. I'm not sure what your talking about

You are right, a bag of shit should have won against Trump. But somehow the Democratic leadership was still able to mess that up. Next time, they should bring their A team to the table instead of the D team.

And I can't say that I blame them. Biden's presidency... or his campaign... or Harris' campaign...

It was a shit-show all the way through. Maybe next time the Democrats should try catering to their voter base.

I find it very telling when someone gets mad at the people who couldn't stomach voting for a genocide, rather than getting mad at the party for running on a pro-genocide platform
