Hmm, if only Americans were capable of joining the dots between the issues they care about and the politicians they vote for.

Biden/Harris weren't gonna do shit to fix healthcare

Indeed, but instead we get someone who will take a torch to it. One vote was for someone who would make things worse more slowly and the other was for someone who would make things very bad very quickly. We decided to go quickly.

People hate being railroaded. "We're going to make things worse more slowly than this other guy and we're your best viable choice. If that upsets you in any way, we're going to blame you when we lose." Is shitty messaging that appeals only to shitty people.

I agree completely, the Democrats losing is entirely their fault. They’ve been unappealing for years so they can chase those corporate bribes. But if you listen to them it’s never their fault. I voted for them, but I didn’t like it.
