Exactly.

Yes, there are plenty of problems with Trump, MAGA, and the Republican party, but it's very obvious that Trump's supporters are genuine and enthusiastic with their support. The only recent thing comparable on the (D) side was with Bernie, but the DNC made sure that didn't happen. I have not met anyone with genuine enthusiasm for Clinton, Biden, or Harris (at least not without it being some form of "well, (s)he's better than Trump"). The people leading the DNC would rather keep whatever power they can in the party, even if it means losing elections, than step back and listen to what voters truly want.

I swear that the DNC convinced her to use DNC-as-usual tactics somehow. As a campaigner I swear I saw the things that gave her the initial burst of confidence in her erode away.
