Also stupid: ignoring calls that you’re too old, dropping out way too late for a primary and handing off to your VP who was not particularly popular last primary.
Continued the initial push of laying her foot into the collective asses of the MAGA collective. That first month or so was great and Dems needed that energy.
Gone against Biden and condemned the situation in Gaza AND remind everyone that Ukraine is still going.
Not listened to the idiot Dem “strategists” who seem so fucking convinced that courting modern Conservatives is a good idea.
Had she done these three things and even the shit communications of the Dems could not have stopped the word of mouth and internet celebrity status she would have had.
Maybe? The huge chunk of people who didn’t vote for her were white middle class suburban men. There might have been a simple racial bias to factor in as well.
That’s the thing: She was doing fine initially. Not even when you measured her up against Biden, just in general. She came out verbally lashing Trump and challenging everything he and his cronies tried to do. She did exactly what I was hoping she’d do and lean on her experience in law and not tried to be charismatic.
What I suspect happened is she was pulled aside and told it wouldn’t work. Chances are she was made to bend and rather than leverage her position she did bend. Or perhaps she was convinced to do so, I don’t know. After Bernie in 2016 I don’t trust the Dems at all when it comes to elections. Not in the sense of corrupt votes or whatever, in that they’d choose a losing candidate or choose to lose over having to admit they need to step aside and let the energy flow.
Biden did a lot of deeply frustrating and very wrongheaded things, but Garland for AG, imo, cleanly takes the cake. I genuinely cannot think of a more feckless, functionally useless, and societally harmful nomination that he made.
You know, almost feels intentional. Would not surprise me, for sure. I can totally imagine that jackass thinking better for him to hand the reigns to Trump than to some dirty socialist like Bernie.
Left wing populists threaten the oligarchs. Right wing populists don’t. It’s really that simple. The Democratic establishment straight up prefers Trump to Bernie.
Almost certainly. The Dems in power aren’t worried about a second Trump administration. If anything, they’re excited for it. What terrifies them is the idea of a third party, progressive candidate getting office.

She’d had done fine if she did three things:

Been white
Been a man
Or, she could have courted conservatives by going after the health insurance industry. Democrats are still operating like it’s the 1990s.

She didn’t though. Given the fact she never won a presidential primary it was unsurprising that she ran a poor campaign.

What I think you are trying to say is:
I’ve thought about this quote a lot since the election lol. Timeless.
Also putting a heritage foundation sympathizer as your AG.
Not accounting postal board members who would remove the scum that is DeJoy.
Letting Israel genocide Palestine without cutting off the weapon supply. While also dragging us into shit with Iran.
