    Good job the democrats alienating their base by trending right. I get you but this was completely avoidable if the democrats were competent and not a big circlejerk for themselves. Bernie could have beat that spastic in 2016.

    Gaza is a serious issue, the US is supporting a genocide. If you cant come out against that then why bother, there isnt much more important to a lot of people. I know Trump will be worse for the region, they do too but if you cant take a principled position that aligns with people you cant complain they didnt vote for you.

      Ok, but

      Bernie could have beat that spastic in 2016.

      Bernie lost in the primaries, it’s our own fault (I voted for him…)

        DNC primaries are a joke. look at this last primary. oh wait we didn’t actually have a primary.

        they intentionally waited until the “primary” was over so that Biden could get the incumbent automatic primary votes and then let him drop out so they could rush in Kamala without having a real primary.

        i firmly believe if Democrats were not trying to game democracy this presidential cycle, DNC would have had a chance to beat Trump
