The leaders of the Democratic National Committee announced they plan to learn absolutely nothing from their embarrassing loss to President-elect Donald Trump.
We can say her campaign was bad because she had no time to figure out what policy was the winner (take polls and normally it’s tested in primaries). BUT she ran on abortion rights and fucking democracy. If that doesn’t get the left out to vote, literally nothing will. We won’t see a left platform for fucking decades, because literally nothing gets the left out to vote.
If “democracy” means i cant pay my bills and my relatives get slaughtered overseas, it seems a pretty lame thing to hold on to.
And that is again a big failure. People all things considered dont care about democracy as a virtue in itself. They care about economic and social security and a prospect of personal developmemt and social participation. contrary to the popular stories revolutions rarely were fought over political participation. They were fought over empty stomaches and lack of housing.
Trump understood to pretend to care about these problems of the people. Harris lowkey denied them existing.
Well that’s a pretty good non sequitur. How am I supposed to even respond, I say I do and then you say nuhuh. Well that’s the point of a non sequitur huh.
Biden may have had (relatively minor) details around the side but his campaign message was straight center.
And the appetite for change is so great that even those minor details are enough for people, but this campaign couldn’t even do that.
Right, and Harris didn’t even have those relatively minor details. She was as center-right as they come

I don’t even think you know who you’re referring to as ‘the left’
Well that’s a pretty good non sequitur. How am I supposed to even respond, I say I do and then you say nuhuh. Well that’s the point of a non sequitur huh.
