    yawn

    There never were that many if those. Harris was going to lose regardless, as was Biden. They should have held real primaries and not rig it for the democratic socialist candidates to lose.

      Sorry but no. A candidate that loses by 1.5% is far from a candidate that was “going to lose regardless”.

      People act like it was this huge strategic blunder but it’s easy to talk shit once the battle is lost. Democratic socialists were not particularly popular outside of your online social circle, maybe they’d have tanked even harder.

      Now I understand, if you opted to sit this one out, that it feels better to tell yourself Harris was going to lose anyway. But in 2024 every vote counted and every non voter was a willing ally of the trump regime.
