I did, a long with a metric shit ton of other people, literally all over...
When we kept saying:
That included literally everyone except Hillary.
Kamala Harris is not Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, and predictably numbers immediately improved.
It's bad enough moderates kept saying that was wrong at the time, but the complete revisionist history just weeks after it happened is fucking ridiculous.
trump voters barely rewrite history this fast....
You couldn't see it coming.
The politicians you support couldn't see it coming.
The political commentators you listen to couldn't see it coming.
And rather than take a second to see if maybe that means your views are wrong, you just claim "gee, no one could have guessed!". And March forward to the same bullshit, once again insisting your opinions are correct
Like, how the fuck can anyone even pretend that they didn't hear anyone say that Biden was a shit candidate and replacing him would help regardless of who it was?
But did anyone listen after you said 'literally'? I usually tune out when a 'litchally' hits the floor. Sorry, but it's true.
I don't see that he's rewriting history. He thought Biden would do better - but still thinks Harris can win. Or else he thought Biden could do better, but now with the additional new data that came with Harris getting nominated he has indeed changed his mind. But it's not like he's going back and denying his earlier concerns or support of Biden...
