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.

It’s always the fault of the progressives of course! Never the fault of the dipshit grifter consultants.

she also did 2-3% better in WI/MI/PA versus the national swing everywhere else so they did one very good job focusing in the correct areas. Hillary didn’t do that.

The most left places also were the biggest shift to the right so saying she should’ve gone more left wouldn’t have worked either.

Given nobody cared about Trump’s mistakes and hers got eviscerated nothing she could’ve done differently would’ve let her win. Only whitmer or shapiro with a nonzero chance in hindsight of 270-268 and that’s only because midwestern dem gov.

Yes, they made a ton of mistakes but there is no literal perfect campaign.

This election was amazing because it defies any rational explanation or easy fixes. Somehow the Dems got clobbered while anti-abortion bills got shot down. Big gains for Trump among Latino voters after his campaign called Puerto Rico a garbage pile.

I once heard somewhere that the Puerto Ricans are not liked that well by the other Latinos.

why does the candidate’s husband have a senior advisor lol so doug had multiple levels of advisors advising him?
