    Well, I think being a terrible candidate that ran on unpopular platforms and alienated voters, all while trying to be as similar to a highly unpopular president might have also had something to do with it. I don’t think being a woman was that big of a factor. The fact that we tried to warn you is highly relevant. Learning from your mistakes is how you stop making them, but the Democratic leadership keeps refusing to do that.

      What unpopular platforms did he run on? Pausing federal student loan repayments? Boosting the irs’s funding to help catch tax evaders? Reduce Healthcare costs? Help funding for service members who suffered from exposure up toxic burn pits? Halting federal executions? Investing in climate change initiatives?

      We tried to warn you would be relevant if he was elected, which he clearly wasn’t so no it isn’t relevant. Look the dnc is a fucking joke but this fake outrage is silly

        Well, I was talking about Harris, not Biden, but if you really want to know: Backing Genocide. Bad economic policy. Increased military spending. Half-assed fixes for healthcare costs. Half-assed fixes for policing. Half-assed fixes for climate-change. Just look at the polling at the time. It was clear that Americans didn’t like him or his policies.

        It is relevant, because the DNC telling everyone that their clearly cognitively impared candidate wasn’t cognitively impared. That disenfranchised a lot of voters who gave up on the Democratic party after that. Harris had to spend her campaign with Biden and his legacy dragging her down.

        You may think that the outrage at a clearly corrupt organization that handed the election over to fascists is silly, but a lot of people find that pretty important.

          Yet it got trump elected, so maybe these policies are more widely accepted than you want to believe

          Right cause that’s what I said? Keep making up strawman.
