      "Yeah, terrible campaign, glad I stayed home and didn’t vote.

      That’ll show them all not to make politics entertaining like I’m an inbred incel child!!!"

          That’s what this dude was saying.

          You shouldn’t need a campaign to vote hard against Trump, he campaigned against himself his whole life.

          You want everyone to treat you like fox News treats their viewers, that’s the kind of pandering campaign you want, but for your issues.

          This is politics, this is for adults because it matters.

          Shove your ‘oh what a bad campaign’ bullshit up your ass, everyone should be expected to vote for sanity, blaming politicians for not pandering is literally the problem that gave us WWE politics in the first place.

              You win politics by slowly moving the needle, making the other side unviable.

              Our mistake was not being zero tolerance for southern racism.

            The campaign absolutely sucked. I voted. Both can be true.

            Harris nationally basically threw the election when she said she wouldn’t have done anything differently than Biden. People wanted change, and she offered none.

                That we did. And I’m pretty sure it’s not the kind of change the people who voted for Trump wanted. But they wanted change, and only one of the candidates offered that.

                Harris and rhe DNC fumbled the ball hard. It was their election to win since they had the incumbent advantage, popular support for Jan 6 enforcement, and tons of lawsuits against Trump. All she needed to do was present a tangible plan for what her administration would change. Inflation was coming down (but prices obviously weren’t), the “economy” was tenuous, rates were high, etc. People wanted to know what she’d do, and her answer of “nothing different than Biden did” didn’t instill confidence. So she lost swing voters and didn’t motivate her base to turn out.

                She lost the election because she fumbled the campaign. She was winning for most of it, and lost in the last month. She needed a rallying cry, and she exuded “more of the same.” People suffering don’t want more of the same.
