Whoever was running Harris campaign needs to be barred from being in charge of any political campaign ever again; talk about legendary levels of mismanagement.
They had the golden opportunity to lean into the ‘weird’ meme and hammer Trump/Vance on that issue - but decided against it because it was what, ‘demeaning’?
The Dems need a firebrand, with a truely populist message and policies; rather than just lip service.
For whatever reason, when I’m hearing about Dems in the swing state I’m in, I’m hardly ever hearing why you should be excited to vote for the Dem candidate, but instead why the Rep candidate is so awful that you simply must vote Dem to stop them. Like, there was about a week(?) that Harris and Walz seemed to be coming out of the gate going “we’re gonna be so awesome, don’t even worry about the weirdos on the other side”, but then it became “please, it is of Vital Importance you do not vote for Trump, we promise Harris will be better than him”, and I just don’t understand why they changed.
The Tea Party and Occupy Wallstreet were movements created to drag the parties into areas where they’d rebel against what voters perceived as a ruination of the country.
One of them got their party switched out for heroes of their movement, the other was arrested en masse.
This is all you need to know
I mean besides that fact that the former thought black people where ruining the country and the latter blamed the fact that no one can fucking afford food or housing.
Oh I thought it was the dumbfucks in the Democrat party who chose to run a shit campaign and marginalised their voters into not showing up while they focused on getting lobbying money and chasing right wingers fault 🤷

Democrats need to realize they’re trying to win elections, not “Ribbon for Best Behaved Boy Scout Troop”

When Walz was picked I really thought we would see a sliver of actual leftist ideology in their platform.
The dumbfucks who stayed home chose not to have elections again.
Implicitly. But if you look at the responses given in the article, I do not believe these people knew what they were choosing implicitly.
So many of them seem to be rejecting the government as it is, and stupid as it may be, Trump republicans are the only ones filling that void.

Both things can be true at the same time; the world isn’t black and white - but various shades of grey.
The Harris campaign was awfully milquetoast, but people’s indifference also played a major role.
Don’t run a campaign that inspires indifference then.
Yes, but that doesn’t give a false sense of political superiority to people on the Internet
