    Goddamn y’all lefties or whatever are OUT for these recrimination threads.

    Well I suppose it’s the last bid for attention for another 3.5 years.

      “Now is not the time for criticism, it’s not election season - save that for the primaries”

      “Now is not the time for criticism, the primaries are soon”

      “Now is not the time for criticism, there’s only 100 days to go before the general”

      “Now is not the time for criticism, we just had a huge, crushing loss”

      So are liberals/democrat faithful/etc really committed to never learning, or never listening? When am I allowed to criticize half of the political duopoly that is increasing out of touch not just with my concerns, but openly snubs voting blocs and demands fealty in return for the status quo?

        Oh absolutely. Let’s get down and discuss all of the policy proposals we want the next presidential candidate to have RIGHT NOW.

        Go.

          A popular mandate. That’s literally the bar we’re talking about here, and I’m amazed to see people upset that others are pointing out how low it is.

          But when they fake a primary, you don’t get a genuinely popular candidate. When they don’t even hold a primary, you never hear the other opinions in the electorate. Biden owns a lot of responsibility for this loss, but the leadership has their share too for trying to walk this over the line on diet republicanism in a quest to scrape by 270.
