    It’s a testament to how incompetent, ineffective, and impotent the Democratic Party is that it not only lost, but did so in a historic manner, to a convicted felon who ran on a platform of autocracy, horrible economic policy, and sheer stupidity. In this thread let’s post our reasons why the DNC fumbled yet another imminently winnable election.

    Mine, in no particular order:

    -Re ed economic policy that unnecessarily increased taxes on the non-1% while claiming it only affected the 1%, along with re ation like taxing unrealized gains sprinkled in for good measure
    -Not distancing from Biden on key issues *cough*Gaza*cough
    -Having absolutely no explanation for tectonic shifts in policy like fracking
    -Not pushing the old man out until 100 days from Election Day
    -No open primary
    -Waltz

    Why have your positions shifted so radically from 2020 to 2024? "My experience as Vice President but please understand MY VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED "WINK,WINK"

    Walz was a dumb pick, but at the end it didn’t really matter. Dems like always are horrible at messaging. Her message was the same at every interview and rally . Even though Trump is unhinged, he’s always changing what he’s saying and for whatever reason that resonates with the majority apparently

    This is cope. Everything listed here is objectively better than the future the MAGA Party is promising. Kamala lost because most people who would trend to her don't vote, and because a large portion of this country is fine with facism as long as their eggs are cheap and immigrants are deported.

    The average Latino, Gen-Z'er, or white woman does not care about like fracking or taxing unrealized gains.

    I know it's a hard to swallow pull, but maybe this country really is just too stupid to go on.

    It’s not cope. If she changed her messaging on Gaza, she easily could have won MI on that issue alone. To say nothing of the others

    Dems need to look at the bright side. Sure, they lost the election, but they gained and Liz Cheney.

    You know I get all the MAGA's and GOP white voters all day long. But the stupid blacks and Latino's who overwhelmingly voted for this because of groceries and gas? I mean are those guys really that stupid? I personally know a black female Trumper. She is one of those ones who continually does stupid things financially and likes to blame everyone else (Biden) when the dummy can't pay her bills or is always broke. That's why I preferred Bernie getting the nod when Biden dropped out. I had a feeling this was going to happen with Harris. At least with Bernie it was someone totally away from the current administration

    1. Genocides are not a good campaign strategy
    2. Celebrating war criminals supporting you is not a good campaign strategy

    Oh and we dodged a bullet imo

    USA is the most progressive nation in human history. And during times of basic social needs, the Democrats are attempting to move the nation farther Left. That is tone deaf.

    But this is playing out all over Western Civilization as nations collectively move to the Right. The Green Party in DE is barely hanging on to existence. Canada will surely elect a Conservative next.

    It is inevitable our Civ will rebound again. Then these Liberal priorities will resonate again. But right now is the time for common sense leadership. Bring that JOY Kool aid back when everything returns to surplus.

    That one is key, IMHO. They (again) built a strong economy, but they didn't sample their candidates or the messages.

    They ran on "Trump bad", and that was clearly not enough.

    They do have a few positives to go on from this:

    - An inept idiot running the country for (at least) the next 4 years, which will give them plenty of fodder for the midterms and 2028.
    - Confirmation that Harris is unelectable and can be scratched off the list

    What's more difficult to see is how dinosaurs like Joe, Pelosi, Schumer, etc stop running the party into the ground, tbh...

    She could have won all of those morons and still lost. That's cope. America is moving right.

    Some really are that dumb. This is why Trump has always said he loves the poorly educated.

    Eh, at the end i'm not sure there is candidate in the universe that can satisfy every Democrat in America. I think the lesson here is, that the only way for Democrats to win is to dump any pretense of policies and sanity and just get a candidate that will have no issue lying to everyone right into their faces. Sadly it's a post fact world of feels over reals, I don't know what the point of two Trumps running is though. USA if ed, there is no recovering, but it will be a slow and long decline from here on out.

    I think the key issue is that the 99%, working class is simply not getting results from Dems.

    They're not going to get them from Trump either, but you lose the suburbs and you're toast.

    I'd argue most of them don't even vote. 7 million votes on the table in Texas, for example.
