    It remains the democrats fault for:

    • gaslighting the public about inflation

    • gaslighting the public about not one but two new wars including a genocide!

    • refusing to run a small D democratic primary that they didn’t rig since checks notes 2004 (they tried to rig 2008 for Hillary but failed because Obama was so charismatic they couldn’t stop him)

    • refusing to run a primary at all in 2024, despite biden promising when elected in 2020 to be a one term president, and his own polling showed he’d lose in 2024

    • last minute Hail Mary of replacing biden with Harris despite not a single vote being cast for her

    • no platform other than “we’re not trump! Elect an anti-democratic party to save democracy! Trumps the next hitler!!!”

    • didn’t bother campaigning in swing states just like Hillary in 2016

    Gee I wonder why they lost the election. Couldn’t be that they continuously gaslight the public. Couldn’t be that they didn’t hold a primary (sorry but RFK Jr vanity run is not a primary). No, no. Voters just voted wrong!

    But don’t worry! We have to save dEmOcRaCy! Let’s just roll over and hand the power over to trump because he won fair and square and optics and politeness are more important than saving the country! You see, the democrat party doesn’t actually give a shit, if they were serious, they would have their own January 6th. They’re not serious. They’re gonna fundraise off of it. Just like roe v Wade!

      Yeah? Why do you need a platform beyond this?

      It was a competent former prosecutor vs a serially lying violent felon.

        ‘But Trump’ got you Trump twice. At this point you’re arguing against the concrete proof that your view WON’T WORK to justify blaming people that tried to save you from yourself.

        You, in this case, is the DNC and everyone else blaming voters for the failure of the DNC.

        They shouldn’t have even include the democracy angle in their campaign. You cannot run on “Trump is a threat to democracy,” when you own administration has completely failed to put the man behind bars.

        Imagine the insanity if Trump, in 2020, had ran on a campaign of taxes being too low, after he had just slashed them. That is the level of idiocy the Harris campaign was trying to run on.

        You had four years to put the guy behind bars. You don’t get to then point to him as a threat to democracy, since you yourself clearly do not consider him to be a threat to democracy.

        Actions. Speak. Louder. Than. Words.
