    I’m not a US citizen but I agree with this. Biden was a weak leader and everyone was praying he gets off the stage every time he talked in the 2024 elections. He stepped down too late, Kamala had very little time to set up a campaign, and everything she said made it sound like she’s Biden 2.0, including supporting wars that alienated people voting for her. When your entire campaign is based on “at least we’re not the other side!” and nothing else, there is no enthusiasm to support you.

    They need to do better next time :P

      Not just that, but a post above this one says how the constituency may have lost their faith in the democrat party and why the elite rhetoric used against democrats sort of has legs to stand on. If it’s just a central body that decides the candidate and the constituency has no say, why even care? The choice has been made for you.

        DNC komissars overplayed their hand in 2016, they have nothing to offer besides ramming shit through because they think theu control the media.

        When WaPo didnt endorse Kamala, people shoulda read the room.

        Bezos saw she was gonna flop, why waste political capital lol

    Dems suck at combating Republican rhetorical strategy. I see so many leftists blaming Biden and Harris but Biden and Harris were good politicans with bad messaging. Leftists should have been yelling every single one of their wins from the rooftops but instead they were stuck rolling with republicans in the mud arguing about pointless shit like hatians eating dogs and hunter bidens cock.

    I think dems need to seriously look at their strategy and leftists online need to think about how they are going to better boost that messaging. Currently republicans are in line and organized. When something happens you immediately see all the big republican figureheads talking about it and pushing the message out to their viewers and then their viewers go out and inject that message into every conversation.

    There’s enough blame to go around. Democrats fucked up long before 2024. Brandon was a fuckup. Hillary was a fuckup. But let’s not absolve the greatest of all fuckups: the average American idiot.
