    Typical boomer leadership. You lot shit the bed trying to take bribes and sell everyone out, then blame everyone but yourselves when you end up failing at literally everything, as if every Democrat owed you compliance with your horrific BS.

    The democratic party lost ground in literally every single demographic thats measured, but you want to finger point as if one group is to blame. None of you should be in charge of anything.

    When will you learn that the party was a coalition and that you dont have the power to go it alone and succeed, hrm? And that the right wingers are not your friends, and reaching across the aisle to people who want plainly evil outcomes is not some sort of virtue-- it just makes you weak and prone to lose. You have to make people want to come to you, no make deals to sell out your own to entice them onboard.




  • I’m saying as a subordinate in the Whitehouse she cannot largely deviate from the official position

    She absolutely can. VP is an elected position, whats he going to do, fire her? cut her out of decisions? Decisions already literally werent her job. And he could read a poll the same as the rest of us. He should have understood that she needed to play to win. You’re confusing loyalty with her inability to grab the ring and lead.


  • She didnt “have to” align with Biden as much as she did. That was a clear mistake and a missed opportunity. She also didnt have to support the far right wing israeli genocide. She didnt have to spend the entire last month of her ground game trying to appeal to disaffected repiblicans, losing dem base support every single day in the process. She didnt have to do so poorly on the economy issue either.

    Lets face it, she was a flawed candidate. She’s a political noob who by her past performance appears hesitant to take policy positions.











  • Some thing that also might have played into this “brokenness” you speak of:

    • The dems saying the economy is fine – or great even–when the public feels its not made the dems look out of touch.
    • The DNC supporting a far right wing war and counting on the base to get 100% behind them.
    • The dem candidate running to the right to look for republican votes in their ground game and losing a steady amount of votes from their base every day for a month without a strategy change.
    • The dem candidate failing to renounce or suggest they’d depart from policies that poll extremely unpopularly.
