The point they make about Dem messaging needing villains other than Trump is pretty good. Also they are right that this second Trump term is likely going to be a massive smash and grab where the federal govt just gets gutted and put in the hands of private business.

This is just clickbait crap iyam.

Wot? Trying to make a strawman, huh?

lololololol. [I’m laughing in a Riverman voice there]. Just lolololol.

I will never understand how people keep falling for the most obvious zero-effort troll in modern politics. It’s like showing Boomers AI art and telling them it’s AI and they will not believe you.

There is nothing I respect less than an inability to admit when one is wrong. The fact that not a single consequences poster has posted even a minor new culpa shows you they are not to taken seriously and are not people of character.

How had I never seen this quote before?

When in doubt, blame the progressives. Absolutely incredible

Yeah probably a clear mistake, and good to plug leaks for next time, but with the magnitude of the loss they can’t be kicking themselves over things like this. For Kamala to overcome 2-3% losses in multiple swing states it would have taken an Edge of Tomorrow style do-over of the short campaign season over and over again trying to find the exact combination of strategies and decisions that might work.

Yeah this race may not have been winnable but there were some obvious strategic failures of the campaign. She may have been able to flip a few of those razor thin house seats off her coattails though if she had focused more on independents and turnout rather than focusing on never-trumpers.
