    This is such a counterproductive take. It ignores why Harris actually lost (like Biden running again and refusing to step down until the end), while also implying that the Democrats didn’t do anything wrong whatsoever and the fault lies with the electorate. If that’s the takeaway for the DNC from this past election then we’re cooked.

      70 million people looked at maga bigotry of various sorts and found it not to be a dealbreaker. Fact. They either hoped or knew Trump would hurt other people not like them, so they gave him a pass. (and that doesn’t count what I believe to be the vast majority of Trump voters who were overtly OK with it.)

      My intent in sharing here isn’t to postmortem the election. It’s a reminder of the 70 million shitty people we smile and shake hands with every day.

      It also implies that Harris wouldn’t attack Iran when she totally would have. A more correct approach would have been that ww3 for the Democrats is more preferable than worker rights and social institutions Bernie wanted.
