How reflecting of you to ask that, Clown.

"He's advocating for progressives to vote for the Democratic nominee available instead of the candidate the DNC shut out because they're scaring the billionaires. ...This is what's costing democrats voters."

Nobody in either party represents me.
If that helps the Republicans, I don't give a ----.

#129 Snoofy's post recalls this excellent scene from Deep Cover...

What is it with the belief, among certain quarters, that all Democrats have to do is talk affordability, fairness, health care, etc., and they're guaranteed electoral gold?
Don't they realize that the opposition (the Republicans) get their "message" heard, too.
And if you don't respond to the opposition's "message," well, then, you end up with this...
Trump hammered Democrats on transgender issues. Now the party is at odds on a response
#111 JPW says, "...Harris was a terrible candidate who was handed the nomination she couldn't win on her own when she entered a primary after four unremarkable years of an extremely low profile VP stint?"
And people seem to always forget that there are two sides in typical political race in America: the Democrat or the Republican.
And both sides have the equal opportunity to define and condemn their opponents. And the other side usually answers those attacks. Usually...

There is no one reason Harris lost
Politicians and activists are trying to sell disingenuous and nonfactual explanations of why Harris lost to push their ideology. Don't fall for it.Democrats were united and turned out. Harris lost anyway.Voters issued a broad repudiation of not only Harris' campaign but the Democratic Party's vision for the country.A Former Republican Strategist on Why Harris LostInflation, moderation, and candidate effectsWhat Was the Biggest Factor in Kamala Harris's Defeat?
#10 Throughout the month of October, 2024, the Trump campaign (and associated entities) spent $300,000,000.00 on ads in all 7 swing states during televised NFL and NCAA football games. The topic of all of those ads? Then-CA Attorney General Kamala Harris' 2019 response to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming (read: trans) care for federal inmates
And the amount of money the Harris campaign spent countering those She's for They/Them ads in the swing states during NFL and NCAA football games? You know, to point out the truth that she was simply responding to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming for federal inmates? To counter the deceptive, the lying-by-omission ads run by Trump & company?
click graphic above for actual She's for They/Them ad
Zero dollars
The efficacy of this strategy was born out election night, 2024, when Steve Kornacki was calling individual counties (starting with Pennsylvania) and highlighting that the Harris/Walz ticket was falling short of votes as opposed to the votes in the 2020 election for the Biden/Harris ticket. His reporting was, in effect, a death by 1,000 cuts for Harris/Walz.
Trump & company knew that all it would take would be the suppression of Biden votes in 2024 by just a point or two for Trump to carry those counties, all 7 swing states and, ultimately, the election. They judged, correctly, that men - men of color and white - would be turned off enough by the "pro-trans" Harris that they voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all.
Either way, mission accomplished.
