    When trump was president the first time, we all agreed it was bad and things needed fixed.

    A large amount of Dem voters held their nose and voted Biden because he was the only option and even Biden was better than trump…

    But instead of fixing anything, Biden just tried to gaslight America that things were fine, and didn’t actually fix anything despite having the House and Senate like trump does.

    Then Biden held on to the last possible moment so there wouldn’t be a primary, tried to hand the nomination to an even more historically unpopular VP who couldn’t win, and she said she wouldn’t do anything different, except putting a Republican in her cabinet.

    So you can blame voters not voting.

    But it just sounds like a shady car salesman bitching no one will buy his lemons.

    It’s the literal and only job for a candidate and their campaign team to win an election. We can’t blame primary voters for picking a bad option, they had no say in who the candidate was.

    This is bigger than your ego being wrong about what voters will put up with

    We can’t afford to deny reality so you feel better about your unpopular opinions about what Dem voters want.

      It can simultaneously be true that the democrats did a god awful job campaigning, and that people are fucking idiots for not voting for them.

        They didn’t do a bad job campaigning, they told us exactly who they are, barely left of trump Republicans
