Sometimes you’re going to lose no matter what you do.

Are you saying Donald Trump was unbeatable in 2024? Nothing Dems did would've mattered?

No candidate would have mattered once Biden stayed in as long as he did.

Probably.

I always believe that a candidate of the genuine left, pushing things most people want and need — universal health care, breaking up giant corporations, enthusiastic tax increases for billionaires, complete medical and student debt forgiveness, patching the pathetic safety net that barely exists for the unemployed, the sick, the disabled, etc— would win by two touchdowns. But I don't know who that candidate would've been in 2024, and the question is moot because Democrats would never nominate a leftist.

As great as that candidate would be, they wouldn't accomplish any of that. We need to move the house and senate to the left before any president like that would actually make a difference.
