Did I say everything was a wrong choice? I said that clearly wrong choices were made. Those wrong choices, whatever they were, resulted in that loss. Thus, the tautology.

It's not tautological though. Because unlucky outcomes and uneven starting positions can mean that after a string of good choices you still lose. It's important to understand why you lost, and how you could've won, but sometimes the answer is your strategy was sound and you need to be luckier.

I think the fundamental error (I went to your TL and saw your posts there about it) is reducing causality in a contest to one participant’s choices. There’s the other participant, there’s the playing field, there’s randomness, there’s conditions that may be more favorable to one than the other, etc.

But, and again I would like to stress I am being sincere hre, why does any of that matter when the results of that loss is that we all face a much higher chance of being murdered by a fascist regime? I...just don't think it does. I think she is responsible for losing. I don't know why she lost,

Or what she should have done differently. Or even what she could have. And I am certainly not a person who has any expertise in figuring that out. But - something went wrong. Because now things are a fascist hellscape. Donald Trump was not ordained by the universe to win the 2024 election.

And people seem to refuse to even consider looking back at what happened. Call her a saint if you want, but please explain to me how that saint lost, and what she could have done to win, and if you don't know, then I'm pretty sure that should be the priority if we think there are free elections agai

Not you, specifically - just in general, Democratic voters, or just no fascists. I feel very strongly that figuring out what went wrong and why Harris lost is important to having an effective resistance to the fascist regime.

Figuring out what happened is key! Nobody is saying we shouldn’t! I’m solely reacting to the initial assertion that her losing means her decisions were bad. It simply does not follow, severity of consequence notwithstanding.
