The Biden campaign offered something, notably student loan forgiveness, but both Clinton and Harris's campaigns relied on the dumbfuck Pied Piper strategy that they would offer nothing to the voters other than being not-Trump.

That's a dumb fucking strategy because there are fewer people that will vote Democrat as the lesser evil than will vote Republican just because Republican. They have to court people with policies they actually want.

And the absolute crazy thing is they tried this in 2016 and it failed, yet somehow had the balls to try again when it mattered more.

They could blame 2016 on Hillary, not on the "I'm not him" strategy. Go figure that a 20+ year campaign to paint a woman as the literal devil would in fact cause problems for her at the ballot box, right? Who would have guessed except for anyone with a functional frontal cortex?

The Harris campaign sent BOTH Clintons out to "rally" voters. So Hillary went to Florida.

And Bill went to Michigan and spent his time browbeating the Muslim community there about the war in Gaza.

Who OK'd this? Were they born in the heart of a dying star, cause they must be the densest mofuckas on Earth.

Tbf, you would have to hate yourself a lot to look at trump and say "eh... i dont agree with him and he's likely to completely fuck the country and endanger millions of innocent lives.. but look! The democrats are only saying that they arent trump. I better not do a damn thing and hope for the best!"

I guess democrats are just are idiotic and short visioned as republicans. Perhaps they are in fact the same.
