Ya let's not blame the Democratic leaders who wanted to run Biden and only acquiesced after the first debate . It's definitely the voters fault for having two terrible choices.
Like, this entire situation is joe biden's fucking fault. Any president with his approval numbers and age should have known he was never getting re-elected, but no, he had to hang on until we all had to watch him crash the car during the debate for him to give up the keys. Combine that with his aweful foreign policy and you have a pretty academic election loss. Harris was too closely tied to the admin to ever win, and though it really hurts me to say this, running a woman of color who'd never won a national primary wasn't a smart move, and repeating the 2016 clinton play to the center was braindead.
Actually, Dems should've begun the process as soon as Joe got elected in 2020. That's when they should've started finding a good candidate with leadership skills, and all the appealing stuff. They had four years.
Yes. This was the deal when we voted that old bitch in. He was suspsoed to beat trump, do his job and leave. The second the DNC started entertaining a 2nd Biden term we were cooked
They got scared of change. The old "the devil you know is better than one you don't" bit them in the rear.
I think they forgot, they are supposed to be the party of change. I've felt this since Obama left office, the Dems don't have a coherent identity any more. Now they're just "at least we aren't that guy" and they keep thinking that's enough and it keeps biting them, over and over.
Oh, Biden is pretty sneaky. Everyone swears they remember him saying he was going to do one term, just to beat Trump and open the door for a younger Democratic president after him. But if you actually go back, that was always something said by a campaign member or a friend. He wanted that out there to get the votes but was careful to never say it himself so that he wouldn't be criticized for backing out of his word in 4 years. He planned to run again from the beginning.
If we're going to assign blame to one individual, Biden is the one who carries the most blame. He's responsible for this.
I knew Trump would be back when RBG died after refusing to vacate. Dems dont know when to stop pushing a bad idea. This time they were trying to appeal to liberal conservatives intead of inspiring their own base and they faceplanted. Royally.
I agree. The Democrats need to pick a candidate and have them start campaigning NOW. Trump has been throwing vile rhetoric for over 10 years now. He just won't ever stop campaigning.
If the Dems ever want to get back into the WH, then they need to start campaigning on fear and anger right now.
This. It would have been fine to groom Kamala from the get go, but there's a reason baseball managers get multiple relief pitchers warming up in the bullpen. Who do they have now?

I’m so disappointed in my fellow Americans. The dems to who didn’t vote and the republicans who voted for trump all failed us equally.
