I mean I'm no fan of Biden or Harris and the Democratic establishment deserves some blame. But with a decades long concerted effort by the billionaire class which owns pretty much all relevant media to undermine democracy and gaslight uninformed citizens (and outright bribe them in some cases) it wasn't exactly a fair fight.
I mean that advantage should have been counteracted by the very existence of Trump. The fact that the DNC failed to capitalize on that is unequivocally their fault.
Sounds like something for the democratic party to have considered when they had the power to do something about it
Absolutely. Which I why I haven't been a supporter since Obama, it's clear they didn't have a plan of attack nor took the threat seriously. But still if one person commits a murder and another person saw it coming but didn't act in time, you can be critical of the second, but it's still the murderer that's to blame.
So, just stay the course? We're good?
