    Yeah it was totally that and not because Biden, as former VP for a popular President, got credibility across the political spectrum as a safe choice after four years of President TMZ and All Those Rapes.

        What’s crazy is you think this makes you clever.

        It doesn’t. It just shows you’re unreasonable and incapable of understanding context or nuance. In other words, you’re either literally 15 or you’re mentally 15.

          Give me a break. You know exactly where I’m going with this and so you cut it off and call me a teenager? Have a bit of self respect and admit I’m about to prove my point.

        centrists get stuff done, right? Like that genocide they funded under Bidens term. Be proud!

        They also did a bang up job holding trump accountable for his insurrection and destroying republicans with the Epsten files. Remember that? so much winning. So much gotten done.

        And then you go claim leftists get nothing done. What a frickin joke.

            FDR. Who also happens to be among the last decent presidents of either party. You centrist DNC pond scum sellouts are still pretending you inherited his legacy, when you really inherited Ronald Reagans. And you cant win elections even running against a criminal clown like trump that anyone even halfway decent should be able to beat without trying. As long as those AIPAC paychecks keep showing though, thats what really matters, right?

                When was the last time our Democratic party centrist leaders sold us out or did something against the interest of the voters? A day or so.

                Betrayal is even worse than getting no laws past.

                    well thats a pretty flimsy standard to throw up in the face of constant betrayal and selling out. But it certainly matches the usual centrists’ “power for power sake, at any cost, and it doesnt matter how we use it” menatlity. Your approach to this is exactly how you find yourself supporting war crimes.

                    Good job! Your kids will be so proud.

                    And yet, Harris lost because she couldnt get voters off the couch. Because she stood for nothing the voters wanted. It didnt matter that she said she was a continuation of Biden and Biden ‘had passed some laws’. He’d also lost all support by not caring about his voters and betrayaing their wishes. Voter backlash exists and loses elections, whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

                    Its like you missed the entire election, or else learned nothing at all from the loss.

                    Also seems you never heard of the Whig party. They passed some laws, Why dont I see them on the ballot?

                    So is winning elections by representing voters.

                    Yet here you are in these comments talking like voters owe a political party something.

        That would mean Joe Biden won without them in the 2020 general election. Is that actually what you believe? Because that would mean yet another political bloc abandoned the Democratic candidate in the 2024 general election.

        When a political party is bleeding voters like this it’s a problem with the party. If you support the party digging in their heels while this is happening you are part of the problem.

        Useless to whom? Trump won his first term in part due to online sowing of voting apathy in those likely to be left of center as we saw in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The online left will also push Kremlin talking points. If you’re MAGA or Putin, the online left is very useful.
