    That’s right.

    Like is 2016, the Dems have to own this. Like 2016, they won’t.

    You can’t offer sweet fuck all to most of the electorate and then ask for their vote.

    You can’t back a man perceived as infirm, say everything is fine, only to ditch him 6 weeks out.

    Can’t send billions to Israel and Ukraine when the price of food & shelter has skyrocketed.

    You can’t maintain the system that creates billionaires but increases poverty and expect the masses to show up for you.

    The dems lost to convicted felon. That is how shit they are at doing this.

      While yes I’m sure it contributed, I think a lot of people voted because their rent and groceries were too expensive, so that means “vote for the party not in power”. It makes zero sense, but I have to hope that they’re just uninformed and desperate and not eager for what Trump and 2025 crew want.

      Ultimately though, it’s on them. It was their responsibility to know what they’re voting for, and they failed. Now we can only hope they’re too incompetent to do what they want.
