          K so… he wasn’t able to be elected, and wasn’t a concern at the end. So no need to moan about him anymore

            I can whine all day long, our current POS in the WH is there because liberals refused to see what was staring them in the face. Accusing everyone of pointing it out as bots, or Russians, or trying to get trump elected, or any myriad of bullshit that happened to be the trend at the time. There is literally a rule here about bot accusations because of liberals.

            Those that don’t remember the past, or acknowledge it, will repeat it, again and again

              Nah, the reason trump got elected is multi- faceted, but Americans wanted him over a woman. You can 100% acknowledge it, but the we tried to warn you is the irrelevant part lol.

                trump was elected because people who would vote for an opposition party didn’t see one and stayed home.

                  And were content with the possibility of trump being elected, yes. The effectively two party system in the us meant it was with kamala or trump.

                    Yes, that’s the reason I voted for harris. The party seriously overestimated how many people would do likewise. Or the party preferred trump to mounting an actual opposition.

                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.

                Gender had nothing to do with why she lost, she was a shit candidate that bowed to keep all the issues that people had with Biden in place while cozing up to people barely left of trump.

                  centrists keep banging the “women can’t win” drum because they don’t have a woman on their bench who is as popular as AOC. They’re holding back all women to stop one progressive woman.

                  I think gender had a lot to do with things. She was a mediocre candidate, leagues better than trump, yet Americans were content with the possibility of trump being elected.

                    She tried running on a Republican platform courting Republicans

                    The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat.

          Just because he was forced out for trying to tax the rich, doesn’t mean the guy still wasn’t in the running anymore. Stop sucking drumphs micropenis and get a life already.

            The party didn’t want to risk the primary being won by someone to his left, so they gaslit the nation until his decline became undeniable.

            Then they kept going for like a week with pathetic excuses like claiming he was jetlagged from a trip he took 12 days prior.

            lol, you mean the guy that gave hand-outs to the rich? Lets be real: He was forced out because he did such a bad job during the debate that the rich could no longer deny how bad of a job he was doing. Spin this any way you want, but he got the boot because he was in clear cognitive decline.
