    “I told you how to win” has me rolling. Like did you also tell them to show up and vote and explain the electoral college and southern gerrymandering?

      As long as Democrats keep thinking they can win elections by lecturing voters, we are all fucked.

      Yes, Democrats will always be better than Republicans in any given race. You think that means they are just entitled to win and bear no responsibility for horribly run campaigns? That’s not how politics works. You gotta be the better candidate, and you gotta drive turnout. A politician who can’t do both is worthless.

      Yeah, the deck is stacked against them. They knew the game going in, and still played for shit. If it’s so hard to win, then that’s just all the more reason to run better campaigns.

      The Democratic establishment as it stands is an abject failure. Whine about voters all you want, but you don’t get to replace them.

        Now I’m with you there. The Democratic Party runs awful candidates and campaigns. In a presidential campaign cycle we have 3 years to complain about the president and 1 year to suck it up and show support.

        If the media and the public was half as critical about trump, as they were about Biden we may not be here. That’s my only point, Biden wasn’t great. He was status quo. Spending 12 months before the season elections pretending he was as bad or worse than trump, the voters got what they wanted and what they deserved.

        Death to America inshallah.
