I get the feeling we need to be doing the work the Democrats refused to do: creating a political mandate. Protesting is part of creating that mandate, but one thing I would like to see is the inverse of the "ground game" l; where instead of going door to door to convince people of a solution, you get them involved in the decision process.

If that is not nihilism, then it is unhealthy discourse.

Hey pal, nihilism is a valid response but please find a healthier space for it.

Yeah, with those margins fine tuning Biden or Harris's policy proposals would not have been enough. Which I think is Bernie's point: we need something like Medicare for all or a detailed Gaza peace plan to excite the base and the non-xenophobic voters

I guess now is an appropriate time to stop empathizing with people who empathize with the victims.

Oooph, that tracts with a lot of tech companies you hear about. It does fit a pattern of spending so much time courting a base that has proven to be very misogynistic.

Are you a Christian? Because this is how they act when their love is conditioned on agreeing with them.

Jesus Christ people, you're talking about a genocide.

If Genocide wasn't on the ballot than how can you accuse anyone of supporting a genocide by the way they voted?

They failed to predict voter sentiment so obviously they're right about the voters being at fault.

Big difference between this and 2016 is JD Vance is the adult, not Mike Pence. His ties to Peter Thiel is scary. Also we just had a billionaire buy votes, no way that is going to stop now.
