In Trump’s first term, grassroots Democrats focused their ire on the Republican president. But now, after President Joe Biden’s reluctance to step aside in 2024 at age 81 helped pave the way for Trump’s return to the White House, many see their party’s own veterans as part of the problem.

    You had a chance to push back against Trump but you said no. It goes without saying what is reasonable to think about someone who does that. You can write thousands of words pretending you’re justified but it never, ever, ever will be. Shame on you.

      It wasn’t nonvoters that gave us Trump, it was liberals both times. Your party knew neither Biden or Harris could beat Trump but refused to primary Biden, collected billions in fundraising, and gave the false sense that victory was possible. They would have kept Biden if the monied class didn’t insist Biden drop out after his debate. Liberals dismissed his mental decline as a stutter when the signs were there before 2020 but insisted he was the right one for the job.

      Trump is a self inflicted wound brought on by liberal arrogant hubris.

        Yes you’re right. The people who had no better choice are to blame, absolutely not the people made a specific choice to do nothing. Brilliant.

          Liberals never demand better from the politicians, they wait until they are told who and what to support . You confuse doing nothing with refusing to support your shade of fascism.

            Sitting at home is objectively doing nothing. The only thing you’re actually doing is encouraging others to do nothing. Which is clearly support for Nazis. You’ve made your choice. Your words cannot erase it.

      I don’t have power.

      The Biden administration had power. The DNC has power. They did nothing to stop Trump. Indeed, they fought Mamdani harder than they fought Trump.

      And they are fine with systematically starving children. That’s who you’re standing up for. You’re punching down at me because now you’re forced to see the genocide in your own backyard.
