Yeah, that was exactly the strategy that the Democrat leadership followed: no need to try and appeal to voters or even be seen as somebody who can represent them, just convince people that they have to vote Democrat to defeat Trump.
Tell me again how well did that work ...
Yet here come once again the Democrat Party tribalists parroting the "blame the people who the Democrat Party leaders didn't even try to appeal to for not voting Democrat" political propaganda that exonerates from blame the assholes in the Democrat Party leadership who wanted to cheat at Democracy by getting votes without even trying to represent voters.
Congrats for keeping on setting the groundwork for the exact same shit as the current electoral result to happen again: until the Democrat Party actually starts trying to represent anybody other than the moneyed elites, it will always be susceptible to losing to populists promising change.
Keep on blaming the plebes for the results of the choices of your masters.
There is a long list of people I would prefer to have as president over Harris. She was not my ideal candidate. But, Democracy is a compromise, and she was the only option that was viable to beat trump on election day. Regardless of how you feel about her, trump is objectively a far worse option. There was one clear and correct course of action on election day to beat trump and prevent this nightmare from happening, and people couldn't get off their asses or get over their ego and fucking do it.
