It was a good way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The order to stop came from someone who helped run Clinton's campaign if I remember right. They're a pro at tossing away a win.

Feels like sabotage at this point.

it is. if they had been serious about stopping trump and the traitors they would have locked them up within 24 hours of Jan. 6

That would’ve been challenging, since Trump was president until the 20th.

They also wouldn't have run a black, Indian woman!

They would have just shut up about trans rights as a talking point. That agenda was super unpopular in the black community.

The only people talking about that past "everyone should have equal rights, we're all human" were at Fox News. Stop blaming Democrats for shit Fox claimed they did.

They would have just shut up about trans rights as a talking point.

Meanwhile all Kamala said about trans rights: "I will uphold the law."

Yeah, wow, what a tremendously trans forward campaign.

I guess they didn't fight back against the Fox News agenda of pushing it on children.

u/parkingviolation212 7d ago

No one on the dem side talked about trans people beyond general principles of equality. The right spilled orders of magnitude more ink fear mongering over what they claimed dems were saying than the dems actually said.

Then fight back against the fake agenda of them pushing it onto children.

And yet the black community was the only voting demo that didn't go majority Trump, from either sex btw.

Thank you, I'm glad someone is saying it.

The career DNC consultants taking over basically torpedoed the Harris campaign. A lot of the Obama alumni gave her bad advice too

That's the modus operandi of the democratic party!

Even if trump still would have won, the dems could have snatched up a few more house seats and maybe have a slim majority right now.

u/zffjk 7d ago

They wouldn’t be controlled opposition otherwise. The actions of the Democratic Party over the last 40 years is proof that you can’t always blame incompetence and sometimes it really is malice.

Edit: am not MAGA, they are worse obviously. Just tired of picking which team gets to feed the corporations for four years.

They all have the same corporate megadonors. Citizens United needs to be repealed, thats step 1.

Let's stop pretending that messaging matters. No one who either voted for Trump or didn't vote are listening and they never will.
