A big thanks to the DNC who absolutely fucked up what should have been a slam dunk, quit blaming people at the bottom. Punch up and punch right.
FYI, that's a parody account making fun of Matt Walsh. Despite the horrors of Project 25 and what that will likely do, dunking on people who mostly agree with you politically with misinformation is stooping to conservative playbooks.
Not saying Democrats were right, but this wasn't so much about Trump winning as it was about a black woman losing. The unfortunate truth is that if Harris and Walz switched places they probably would have won.
Eh, let's not ignore that the Dems nominated an old man in clear cognitive decline, accompanied at all times by people intended to keep him from wandering off or saying something stupid, Dianne Feinstein-style.
And they failed repeatedly.
This isn't on the Greens, Socialists, or whoever you want to make the scapegoat. It's on Dems.
I wasn't trying to scapegoat any party in particular. At it's most fundamental level this was about racism and misogyny.
I don't think that's accurate.
At it's most fundamental level this is about 100,000,000 voters who can't afford to miss a badly-needed day's pay, something that hasn't been addressed by either ruling party.
Australia has the right idea, mandatory voting on a national holiday.
You're not wrong.
It's no one single thing at the most fundamental level. That is the biggest falsehood anyone will ever convince you of.
Any one of a hundred, a thousand, a million things could have changed and made enough of a difference. That doesn't mean they were the only thing.
And as long as that's the only takeaway from this election, they'll continue ceding victories to the Republicans.
