    Democrats have been neoliberals since the time of the first Clinton campaign. The milquetoast candidates are a direct result of that.

    If you voted, then I’ll recind the analogy towards you. The 15 million democratic voters in 2020 that stayed home for whatever reason in 2024, still did exactly what I just portrayed. They had a choice to make, and they made the choice to do nothing, because things aren’t perfect.

      And I believe that the extra 15M votes in 2020 were an outlier (probably because of COVID) and we can’t expect to see that kind of turnout again. Not unless something incredible happens.

      And Kamala was not incredible.
