Fucking exactly. I was on this site a month before the election saying, “Why is she campaigning with Liz Cheney? Who is this for?” Of course, someone jumped in to explain how I didn’t understand that it was actually very smart, because each Republican that flipped was worth two votes, because Trump lost a vote and Harris gained a vote, and it was just good strategy, and blah, blah, blah…
Now that these arguments have been completely and devastatingly debunked, their proponents are looking for anyone else to blame: the handful of leftists who voted third-party or stayed home; the Arab and Latino Americans who didn’t know what was good for them; anyone who criticized their decisions or gave them anything less than their full-throated supprt. They weren’t warning them that their path was leading to their inevitable defeat! No, they must have caused their defeat! That has to be the answer, because the alternative would require self-reflection and change.
This is like yelling at a geologist after they warned about an earthquake.
No one wanted what the Dems were offering that’s why they lost.
