    I think you drew a lot of conclusions that I’m not sure I can get on board with.

    Looking at the numbers in 4 of the swing states, Kamala got more total votes in 2024 than Biden did in 2020

    Across the US She got about 7 million votes fewer than Biden in 2020. There was clearly an enthusiasm problem and the dems lost minorities and almost every other demographic in a huge way. DNC didnt want to admit that Biden was historically unpopular. like legendarily so, and they just plum forgot to shore up their base. They instead demanded fealty in exchange for right wing talking points and policies, and prancing loathsome rightwingers like Cuban and Liz Cheney across the stage like we were supposed to be impressed. It was lunacy, with some hubris mixed in for seasoning. So here we are, in the aftermath of corporate shill amateur hour.

      There was literally none of those.

      prancing loathsome rightwingers like Cuban and Liz Cheney across the stage like we were supposed to be impressed

      None of them had any impact on policies in any way. So why would NOT welcome the support of the few conservatives who remained loyal to America instead of going neofascist?

      It was lunacy

      Getting people’s support without giving up a single thing in return is the opposite of lunacy.

      So here we are, in the aftermath of corporate shill amateur hour.

      WTF are you talking about. Harris was going to raise taxes on corporations even more than Biden did.

        without even challenging your other inaccuracies, its a plain fact that harris slowly bled percentages every day for the whole last month of her campaign. Every day lost ground, which only made her double down on looking for rightwing votes which didnt exist.
