    Lmao yes famous things leftists ask for like:

    1. Stating your difference from Biden would be to have a republican in your cabinet.
    2. Campaigning with Liz Cheney.
    3. Enacting the rights border policies.
    4. Walking back a commitment to ban fracking.
    5. Walking back support for Medicare 4 All
    6. Walking back support for the green new deal.
    7. Supplying and funding the genocide leftists and Arab voters explicitly wanted stopped.

    They can’t even blame third party voters this time around because from the current tallies it wouldn’t have made a difference.

    They didn’t activate what should be their base enough and instead tried to court neocons and these mythical moderate republicans that would abandon trump in swaths for a righter wing democrat (hint: they will always prefer the actual republican).

    If the democratic leadership takes this result as anything but an indictment of their attempt to abandon popular left policies to become the Republicans of 20 years ago they are hopeless. I’m not holding my breath though.

      Nah we’re done dude. What voters where told this election was “Its not your party, its our party. We’ll do with it what we will.”

      I can’t imagine voting for a Democrat again, should we even get to vote again. Its too risky. They lie about who they are. Its all lip-service. They have no plan. There is no commitment to a broader project.

        Why are you pretending like the democratic party didn’t push through the Civil Rights Act, DACA, Marriage Equality, the ADA, Affordable Care, Decriminalization of Marijuana, almost every minimum wage increase, student loan forgiveness, reproductive rights, etc.? If you haven’t benefited from policies of the Democratic party, then you must be living a very charmed life indeed.

        Leftists blaming the right for people on the left not voting is some backwards hoop-jumping logic.
