Remember, some different-than-them folks looking for fundamental rights and common decency was all it took to get 70 million people angry enough to vote in a dictator

The lesson to learn is if we run uncharismatic candidates who are substantially further to the right than the Dems voter base, and the most thought the candidate gives the voting base is:
They have to vote for me. Who else are the left gonna vote for?
Its fucking "no one", and it's been that same answer for a long time.
We have a fair DNC now that won't try to shove a conservative down America's throats. So we have a chance to win.
But if we run a conservative as a Dem, Republicans win.
It's really fucking tiring to see those conservatives blame trans people for the lose. That had nothing to do with it. It might be the final straw for some people, but there was a shit ton of reasons people couldn't hold their nose this time.

I get the sentiment, but horrible economic prospects had a lot more to do with this than different people seeking common decency when you get down to it.

Right, because Trump was a better option. Im so glad we imported the fascism directly this time instead of watching it take shape in other countries. Congratulations, we'll all be trying to avoid the death camps at some point in the next 5 years.

I honestly do not think that it did.
That might be what people will tell you (and themselves in some cases), but I don't buy it.

Lmao. More seriously, though, Trump did campaign on improving the economy and it helped him a lot. The fact that anyone with half a brain could tell he wasn't going to do that is secondary.

Do you have a link to a story about this? I don't doubt you, I just want to read more about it.

The chair has absolute power and is accountable to no one.
Before the current DNC chair was elected (just a few months ago) they had been head of the Minnesota state party for about a decade.
That's a very long political track record to look at, and that's why the DNC voting members elected him
Are you asking for a summary of the last decade of Minnesota state politics that shows Martin ran fair primaries which resulted in progressive Dems getting majorities?

I just wondered if you had a link to a story or analysis summarizing that, since I wasn't aware of any of it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll look it up.

Which doesn't make sense either because historically all economic indicators have been better on average during democrat governments than republican ones

Biden: Supply chains, inflation, corporate greed. Stay the course, things are improving over time
Trump: Kill healthcare and social programs and deport Brown people. Instant fix.
Dumbfucks: I do hate people who aren't like me. And harming others makes me feel better about myself. I'm in.

We all know the economy is bad. But they choose to believe it is caused by trans people and immigrants. So OOP still correct.

Okay not to defend Republicans, but if I was barely able to afford rent and heard "stay the course" I'd fucking riot. Please don't present Biden's position of "what do you mean? The economy is awesome" as the reasonably side here.

I didn't think I was. But a real dumbfuck chooses option B
But factually things were improving in spite of corporate greed. But as much as they could have. Now they're not.
But this wasn't an essay

When the alternative is to burn everything down, staying the course absolutely is the reasonable option.

Harris also loves Israel and hates Iran and seemed pretty warhawkish during her campaign
Edit: if you disagree PLEASE just downvote and don't reply, I'm TREMBLING in fear of your possible replies

Ah, but withholding my vote means my soul is pure and I don't own these consequences!

I would love this summary if there is one.
The only thing I had heard about the DNC leadership was them electing a progressive to vice chair on "accident" and then kicked him out after they realized he would be supporting progressive canidates
