Okay, that I agree with 100%

De facto, the party leaders are/were Biden, Harris, Schumer, and Jeffries.

I’m sorry, but you simply cannot convince me that the Democrats ever took Trump seriously. Biden was literally begging Trump to come to the White House and help him draft immigration legislation in Spring of ‘24.

I’m talking about Democrat Party leadership. Sure, elections are hard, but 2024 was a give me. The Dems never took Trump seriously which is exactly why they let Joe stay on the ticket until the 11th hour.

They gave up the incumbent advantage and primary advantage at the same time, which is nuts.
November 26, 2025 at 4:25 AM
I agree with this, too.

Okay, I see where you’re coming from now. And, I agree with where you’re coming from, but what I don’t understand is how that doesn’t further illustrate the failure of the Democrats?

People aren’t activated by vague economic gesturing or ambiguous democracy doomerism — they just want better lives.

Okey dokey then!

I mean, fair enough, and I get that Americans are stupid but that’s also not anything new and it hasn’t stopped the Democrats from winning in recent history.

The Biden presidency was a failure by virtually every single account and Harris showed no interest in separating herself from that.

Democrats necessitating that voters do homework to learn their policy positions rather than having candidates who can effectively communicate is an issue in itself.

Beyond that, I’d love to hear an argument as to why dropping healthcare reform for the first time in decades was a smart strategy.

Individualism isn’t real and blaming the electorate will never result in political success. Don’t have to like the rules, but we do have to play by them.
November 26, 2025 at 3:57 AM
You know the Democrats don’t have to provide wide open lanes for electoral defeat at every given opportunity, right?
November 26, 2025 at 3:55 AM
Democrats own this. Kamala Harris completely dropped healthcare reform from the 2024 Democratic platform.

Can’t exactly complain about losing something that they never even offered in the first place.
November 26, 2025 at 3:50 AM
No, she’s just actually that bad. There are other women candidates who have national appeal and could have won under those circumstances. Hell, even she could’ve won if she had an agenda that connected with people and didn’t represent 4 years of liberal failure.

Kamala really found a way to lose to the worst president in the history of this god forsaken country, hunh
November 26, 2025 at 3:41 AM
We could’ve used this energy for the 4 years that Biden had power. Democrats always have the most to say when they are the minority party and then as soon as they get power then it’s a laundry list of excuses as to why everything is fine the way it is and there’s no reason to pursue ambitious change
November 26, 2025 at 3:38 AM
Kamala should’ve been bothered to propose a legitimate healthcare plan. She didn’t want to because she didn’t really care about winning.

He’s just accustomed to giving out pardons to terrorists.
November 25, 2025 at 5:26 PM
She’s so real for this.

Why is supply-side economic development never positioned as the primary solution to growth?

Small businesses generate jobs, disrupt stagnant industry, support communities, and innovate new products/ideas.

Small businesses have been suffocated by both parties. Medicare for All is non-negotiable.
