You say she lost because people didn't subjectively feel represented. Well, I didn't feel very represented by my Liberal party here in Canada, but I still went to vote for them because I recognized Mark Carney as the lesser evil. By far, too.

I said she was a bad candidate, and I am right. At some point the Democratic Party needs to recon with this, because repeating the same action and expecting different results is insanity. That is unless they would rather “lo$e” than do the right thing.

Yet Obama and Biden won comfortably. And in the smaller elections we've seen this year, democrats are growing their popularity by double-digit margins. They are perfectly capable of winning, they only lose because liberals, progressives, socialists, etc. aren't electorally united.

Yes…. united behind a decent candidate. You keep trying to shoe horn in factors to undermine a position I didn’t present. Was Kamala decent or not? Did she win? Did she have the capacity to unite people based on fundamentals that would unite them? No. Both candidates are garbage.

If you are measuring the value of a candidate by whether or not they won then by that logic, Bernie Sanders was a total trash candidate. I have a feeling you wouldn't agree.

Wait, you think US elections are not biased against the democrats? Huh? Have you listened at all to what Greg Palast has uncovered?

Exactly. This bad candidate crap, if true, is a cop out. She was never going to send ICE to kidnap people, she was never going to start trade wars with the entire world, she was never going to ignore judicial orders - I could go on and on. There's more than a whiff of entitlement in these comments.

She was running on “the most lethal military in the world” while increasing numbers of people can’t afford food or rent. How lower living standards do you expect people to endure let alone endorse. Start demanding more of them.

That's easier said then done from the inside of a concentration camp. Stop demanding anything from a democrat when they are running against an authoritarian.

Why didn’t they end ICE? Why didn’t they shut Gitmo like they promised? Why did Biden send the militarized police after anti genocide protestors? They are the blue wing of the authoritarian regime.

You're either naive or nuts - I'm not sure which, but neither is attractive. I'm sure you'll be popular in the camp, though.

There pretty simple questions. Perhaps it is you who is nuts. You all just love the idea of people suffering don’t you?

Blue maga are almost as crazy as red maga. Senior democrats are using them, and they have zero clue.

Do you not understand that when all of us endorse lesser evil what we get is more evil each cycle?
