I’m just saying, Democrats didn’t seem to want to do anything to win. They wouldn’t commit to reappointing Lina Khan, for whatever reason decided that running around with a Cheney would be a good idea, and messed up a million other things. It wasn’t just Gaza, they did everything they could to make sure they wouldn’t win, seemingly, in service of the donors.
The donors were happy, gave her more money than Trump got, and they still lost because you need to give the voters something beyond ‘Trump will be worse’.
And that’s after years of gaslighting about how the economy was doing great under Biden while ignoring how much real wages got inflated away from the pandemic until now (and I’m not saying Trump is better on any of those issues, mind you, his voters just tend to not notice when they’re being lied to because the right built an information bubble that’s impervious to the truth).
