  • It would require them to address literally decades of being lied to by Democratic leadership. It upends the entire worldview and brand loyalism that the modern, corporate enterprise, which is the DNC depends upon.

    Republicans are who they say they are, and they do what they say they’ll do. They are a known quantity: predictable if vile. Democrats are actually lying to your face about their intentions to take the will of the voters seriously. Democrats own the lion-share of this march towards fascism because they’ve refused to take their roles seriously. They aren’t any more interested in Democracy than the fascists: they and their consultants just want to get paid (with a very small number of exceptions who are almost unilaterally sidelined by the mainstream DNC). Its all cosplay. The DNC is a self-serving joke and are directly responsible for the path we’re on.




  • the smart move was to frame it as her running against Biden to undercut trump’s message as the anti-establishment candidate.

    Exactly. The fact is that the DNC, their consultants, and their apologists in mainstream and social media, do not know how to win elections. They were insistent on these strategies that many were saying were obvious failures (at the time), and are only more obviously failures after the fact.

    If you were a consultant on this campaign: you should never get a job in politics again.

    If you were a media head congratulating Kamala on the “most successful campaign of all time” (I mean, she got Queen Latifa right? Nobody gets Latifa /s), no one should ever listen to you again.

    If you were on Lemmy or any other social media defending these shitty strategies, or using the now painfully idiotic rhetoric of Blue No Matter Who, no one should ever take you seriously.

    Pay attention to who got it right before hand and who got it wrong. Stop listening to the idiots who got it wrong, and especially stop listening to those who were told they were getting it wrong and proceeded anyways.
