    Nobody was screeching “don’t vote for Kamala”, we were telling Kamala what she needed to do to win. Instead she listened to the same campaign that killed Biden’s shot and we all lost because of it.

    Nothing I could have done would have made genocide popular. Nothing I could have done would have made Kamala pledging to build the wall and get tough on crime look like anything but an admission that Trump was right the whole time.

      No, you weren’t. Gaza was not the reason she lost.

        Facilitating genocide and calling all the politically-activated college students who would have been making up the dem’s ground game if not at least phonebanking, antisemites for whom free speech doesn’t apply were just a few of dozens of decisions the dems chose, knowing they would decrease turnout.

        The dems lost because they thought they didn’t have to listen to their constituents to win.
