    “Fighting Trump on every turn has not proven to be successful,”

    Bruh, utterly rejecting Trump and swinging to the left IS WHY Biden took the W in 2020.

    Democrats have been trying to run and govern to the right since than and just consistently lose across the board. Democrats consistently lose running to the right.

      Biden was the left-est president we’ve had since Carter. Climate change, union protections, low-end wages, and so on and so forth. He sure wasn’t Bernie Sanders, but he was quite a bit better than both Clinton and Obama. Our news media is just such bloated trash that literally probably a low single-digit percentage of people in the country are even aware of that.

      You’re actually dead-on as far as why Biden won in 2020, why Obama won, why Bernie was popular, and so on. And also what the DNC likes to do instead of win elections. The Democratic Party as a whole is just too strung-out on corporate cash to really be able to take the lesson, even when it’s staring them in the face. Pretty much the only words of your message I disagree with are “and govern.”
