    Harris was an unpopular sold out corporatist that ran as the status quo and offered zero reform and zero fight against anyone increasingly screwing us, what the fuck did you expect to happen?

        You are trying not to address the point. That with the opposition we have what we have now was inevitable. It makes you made a mistake and help get new leadership or enjoy what we have now, and know it is your fault

          Obviously not. It’s the fault of Trump voters and those who failed to vote for Harris. Thats it. It was pretty clear how bad Trump would be. So there’s no excuses. If you didn’t vote to stop Trump, you own Trump.

            Voters wanted change and the Democrats ran as the status quo for the third presidential election in a row. Each time picking the most unpopular person they possibly could and then blaming voters when they failed. Those voters did support the Democratic nominee in Biden despite further degeneracy and they did nothing with it. There is not a single chance that the Republicans were not going to get in there and try to put the fix in on elections with these people in charge.

            We needed a new deal and we got plutocratic right and a Democratic president further right than George HW Bush.

        This pie fed instance will not show me context here. But I presume you are replying to my disparaging the Democrats and blaming them for losing.

        The last reform we were offered was in 2008 with healthcare, and that was mostly a failure and the last time they actually fought hard for any sort of Reform that is worth anything. Even then the effort was lacking.

        Across the West the left versions of parties have all been seized by conservatives running is the status quo and it is leading to the new right season control and fixing elections.

        It would have been easy to stop them, with a real campaign, but not now. I do not see what is so hard to understand, they put some ivy league suits on TV to pass the buck and you guys just buy it don’t you?

            I just started here so I do not have a baseline, but I do aggressively pick fights on this issue because I want to see us field a slate of candidates that can take the country back before a permanent fix is into tight. An exercise in futility apparently as influence agents and the dupes of the establishment apparently have convinced people to leave the same Aristocrats in charge of the opposition.

            It defies reason, we need a new deal and reform not plutocratic rot led by unpopular sold out candidates hand-picked by donors. The candidates still thinking they are playing good cop to Republican bad cop in 1990 even while the Republicans have openly been playing Hitler.

            2020 was a gift, even with Biden being unpopular we could have dismantled the part of the party that tried to overthrow democracy and install an autocracy.

            Yet we allowed the president to do nothing, to say nothing, to allow our captured federal agencies to fail in their statutory duties without challenge, including the justice department. To let the courts let it happen without rallying the population to pressure them.

            To be at 40% popularity for 3 years and not change anything. Then annoint someone at 30% approval the entire term without challeng. Not a single Challenger for leader, or for house or Senate leadership. The party is broken.
