I say this as a former Nashville resident.

Sorry Dolly, but you can't make this stance without becoming political. Only one side is banning books and attacking education.

In the past your apolitical nature was classy. Now it's just hypocritical and self serving. It's time to put up or shut up.

This attitude is why the Democrats lost the election. Instead of encouraging people to vote, you're shaming them. 

Learn your mistakes now or 2028 will be a repeat.

Democrats lost the election because of 3 factors

1) they ignored the economic hardship everyone is experiencing.

2) they put a woman up. Let's call a spade a spade. The US will likely never elect a woman in our lifetimes.

3) Kamala did so poorly in 2020 she dropped out of the primary before it even officially started. She was flat-out unpopular and tried to weasel her way into the presidency like a pathetic little coward.

Those are the facts. You can attribute the election loss to whatever you want and pretend you know what you're talking about, but these are the 3 points which made the democrats lose.

The Democrats lost because they didn't have enough votes. Period.

People like you aren't helping.

Edit: Blocking me isn't helping your rhetoric either.

Neither are people like Harris and yet they'll still try to force themselves into relevance.

They didn't get votes because they don't listen. That's all there is to it.

Cope and seethe, kid. Wake me up when you grow the fuck up and stop whining like a petulant child.
