“The bottom line is this: Donald Trump is setting new records for himself in term No. 2, setting new records for himself compared to where he was at this time in term No. 1. And he is doing worse than Biden, which is of course a comparison that Donald Trump does not want to be because we all know what happened to Joe Biden,” noted Enten after running through the numbers.

    Proposing running better candidates isn’t the same as ‘genocide joe’ was objectively worse and did x/y/z things that means the D’s are bad compared even to the current situation

    If we ran a better candidate…

    Then people wouldn’t be saying that stuff about them.

    Like, those people weren’t the reason Biden lost. They were trying desperately to warn everyone that Biden was going to lose.

    And a big part of why Kamala lost is she didn’t understand that and thought people personally didn’t like Biden, so she literally and repeatedly said she’d have made all the same decisions as Biden.

    Like, you do get that right?

    If a women says a wound is infected and without amputation the patient will die, if the patient refuses amputation and dies, it doesn’t mean we burn the medicine woman as a witch for killing him.

    It means next time we should listen to her when she warns us, because she was right.

    All youre worried about, is burning the witch because that makes you feel like you solved the problem and are preventing it. But you’re not, so you’re gonna keep burning innocent’s and genuinely believing your the solution and not the one ensuring people keep dying of infections.

    You’re just causing even more damage.

      People don’t understand how voting between two candidates works.

      Like, you do get that right?

      Ironic.

      I would be more inclined to view it as she’s actively trying to dissuade people from helping the patient that everyone knows is sick.

        I think the issue is you’re saying “she” meaning Hillary or Kamala…

        Meaning that because I used the example of a medicine woman/witch, you seem to have assumed it represented Hillary/Kamala just because it’s a woman.

        Is that what happened?

          No, I’m using ‘she’ in the context of the medicine woman in your story, or more simply, those continually suggesting non-support for the Democrat party because of their failings. The math of our system allows for two parties at most in the sense of presidential elections.

          Rather than seeking to push people away from the D’s it would be a far more beneficial thing to work to implement local and state level rank choice or similar system votes. Until that happens it’s a choice of 2 options, and one, while dull and stagnant, is leagues ahead of the other in terms of treating the population with some level of civility and dignity.

            those continually suggesting non-support for the Democrat party because of their failings.

            That may be the confusion…

            Because absolutely no one had said anything Bout that till now…

            Rather than seeking to push people away from the D’s

            No one’s doing that either.

            Hillary/Kamala are not the party.

            Neoliberals are not the party.

            None of them have any political power anymore, especially not at the DNC.
