What would the second Biden/Harris admin have done that the first wouldn’t have? Actual functioning healthcare? They didn’t even say they were aiming for that.

Look, I’m not saying the Dems weren’t the less bad choice, I’m not even saying that voters should have been more active, but what happened was that Dems weren’t able to turn out the vote because they alienated some of their electorate. Trump mostly didn’t gain or lose voters.

And it’s quite a shit take to have it out for “Gaza single issue voters”, when you ask them to be “no fascism single issue voters”. Some people have different sets of values, almost nobody wants to live in a dictatorship, but aside from a few outliers like Lina Khan, the Dems just didn’t work for the people.

And stepping back, it was not even the current Dems’ fault mainly. It’s the entire political establishment of the past decades letting the system slide into this, inch by inch. It’s every time some rich guy didn’t get arrested for his shenanigans, every little slip where money trumped morals and laws. This is the result.

Imagine, just imagine, if the ICE threw the illegal immigrant Musk out like they do with brown people. Or if the IRS wasn’t underfunded for decades. And I know that it’s mostly the ghoulish machinations of the GOP that’s to blame for that, but I never saw a Dem presidential candidate campaign on “law and order for the wealthy as well” or “make megacorps pay their due taxes”, or even “let’s catch up to the rest of the world with healthcare”.
