The Democrats lost because of their own hubris and tone-deaf politics. Their hollow, soulless campaign provided no serious alternative to Trump’s pseudo-populism.
Everyone must watch this clip from before the 2016 election.
Then everyone needs to realize the Democrats didn't change leadership or change strategy after the first Trump election. They continued to ignore working-class voters, which has now doomed us to Trump's second term.
Harris didnt lose to Trump, she lost to the couch.
You have to give ppl something to vote FOR not just something to vote against.
Ppl are working multiple jobs & rent is high. Why would I stand in line, after an 8 hr shift, on my tired feet for the same policies but in black?
I’mma say the hard thing. Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of racism and misogyny. That was a negligible reason at best. Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, and Summer Lee all won their seats in swing states VP Harris lost. Sit with the real reasons why she lost.
ELECTION ALERT: Still Too Early To Know Which Minority To Scapegoat
ONN political analyst Jason Copeland breaks down why it's still too early to say exactly which racial and ethnic minority groups will be to blame for each political party's shortcomings this election.
Kamala has raised $540M in 6 weeks, and she has no policy platform. Can we do this for homeless people? For kids going to bed without dinner? Or maybe for people splitting their life-saving meds in half so they don’t die?
2016 was the last general election that I voted blue & I still regret it.
I won’t waste one more vote on a party that promises change every election to get our votes only to sell us out to their corporate donors once they have power.
I’m voting for Jill Stein & the Green party!
The argument that the Greens “only show up every four years” is an incredible tell: It reveals that the person making the argument only pays attention every 4 years and is this deeply ignorant of all the work that’s being done while their back at brunch.
If you want to learn about what the Green Party has actually been up to, here are some recent episodes of @BadFaithPod:

If the problem with third party candidates is that not enough people vote for them, isn’t the solution encouraging people to vote for them rather than telling people to vote for them less?
AOC calling Jill Stein ‘predatory’ after she took your donation money, campaigned as a progressive, lied to her constituents, and stopped talking about the Green New Deal, while folding for Joe Biden, chief sponsor of genocide. What a goddamn gaslighter.
I worked for Hillary Clinton and lobbed the same empty accusations at Jill Stein.
But this cycle, I helped set up Jill's presidential campaign. She and her team are some of the most principled, dedicated people I've ever known.
Attacking third parties is attacking democracy.
