Maybe the Democrats should run a good candidate next time instead of whoever is "up next," since that doesn't seem to win elections nowadays. Maybe they should relent on some of the culture war issues that clearly mean a lot to voters. Maybe they should try to connect with the low-education and low-information voters that now go to the ballot box after skipping it for decades instead of calling them names. People clearly agree with many of their policies, as evidenced by ballot issues in state after state time and time again. It's amazing what people vote for when a partisan label isn't attached to it.

Maybe the dems shouldn't decieve the country about the inability of Biden to form a complete sentence. Maybe they shouldn't have installed Harris as their candidate. Maybe it's a red flag when Bush and Cheney support your party. Maybe they should "edumicate" all those dumb Americans that voted red. Maybe they shouldn't fund wars in Ukrainre and help Iran access money. Maybe they shouldn't curtail free speech. Maybe they shouldn't blatantly ignore the border issue 4 years ago, then act like it's a problem when it fits the agenda.

Wow. Where to begin? You are correct on one thing at least: It is a huge red flag when Bush and Cheney take away support from the party they've been in for decades and throw it to someone whose policies they completely disagree with. You would think at least a few would take notice.
Opinion: Trump wins again. Will Democrats now practice what they've preached on democracy?
Congratulations to President Donald Trump on his victory. Kamala Harris and Democrats must now help progressives accept the election results.

Good read. Not great but good.
Harris’s only qualifications were that she had female genitalia and she was Indian/black
She is brain dead stupid

Why would they not accept the results? It seems pretty conclusive. Much like the last election.
I said from the day she became the candidate (and a few days before) that she was one of the very few people they could have chosen that would for sure lose to Trump. Your obvious misogyny aside, she was not a good candidate.
Now, her interpersonal intelligence seems to be lacking, much like Hillary Clinton, but to call her "brain-dead stupid" is just, well, brain-dead stupid, as I'm not aware of many people making it through law school who aren't very, very intelligent, if academically, at least. If you think interpersonal intelligence is "better" than academic intelligence, that's, of course, your prerogative, but it goes a long way towards explaining why people trust con-artists far more often than they trust rational well-reasoned arguments.
I tend to believe that, like most things, a balance of different types of intelligence is what is needed in a leader, but, lacking that, people will gravitate towards emotion almost every time.
A lot of people were about as enthused to vote for her as they are to go to the dentist.
