    Exactly. Democrats failed to end the genocide in Gaza because they didn’t create a partisan line in the sand to separate the State’s current bipartisan stance towards Israel.

    Most Americans support ending the way in Gaza. Kamala should have run with this right out of the gate, breaking away from Biden and cutting any strings she has with him. The reason why Americans and donors pressured Biden to drop out is the same reason why Kamala lost. Both represented more of the same, and that voters felt like the current administration wasn’t hearing their voices.

    So out of spite or piss poor messaging on the Dems’ side, people chose Trump instead.

    This is absolutely an issue with establishment Democrats. Don’t get discouraged from sharing this idea in a post not having to do with Bernie Sanders or AOC. It’s the truth.

      The dems should have been able to run, as another commenter in this thread eloquently put, “a piece of tinder” against Trump and have won. The fault and blame lies entirely in every shitheel that didn’t vote harris, whether they like or hate her and what she represents. Sadly, 2/3s of the country either dont care enough or would rather see a neofascist take office, I’m assuming, including you, based on your response.

        Negative señor. The most important issue for voters this past election was the economy. People don’t feel like anything has changed since 2020. So, if the current administration isn’t helping, maybe a different one will.

        That sentiment is the reason why Kamala gained so much traction after Biden dropped out, and also the same reason why she lost that traction when she attached herself to Biden’s administration or policies rather than breaking away.

        The Democrats have consistently failed to represent their base since Obama won in 2008. Hell, you could make the argument that they haven’t represented their base since before Clinton.

        But sure let’s keep blaming the voters for rejecting a party that doesn’t represent them, and not holding the party accountable by continuing to vote them into power since our votes are a given as the Dems move right.

        Your stance is basically to shut voters up and let them take it up the ass, whether they want that or not.
