That's really where we disagree and the crux on why so many people didn't show up.
People thought the same in 2016, f the DNC and just let w/e happen. we see the result of that indifference.
I get others may have washed their hands of it and feel "it's not my problem that someone else let a drunk person drive" but Doing nothing when you had a choice to stop it is the same as letting it happen. It's not 2016, people cant pretend everything out his mouth is BS anymore.
not stopping bad something is ok when you had a choice because the alternative is meh? I mean 15 million people seem to agree with that.
I dk what biden did in 2020 that really moved them. I thought it was never the trumpers that were impacted by his polices but obviously I'm wrong here.
DNC may never do the right thing but GOP will do the wrong thing. I don't care if the DNC wins. I want the GOP to lose and not take away the rights that people fought for long before I entered this country. Maybe I don't get to judge but I bet those women that died and thier familes do. Just like I think those in Palestine have the right to judge DNC for the ineptitude. And now I'll pray they are not slaughtered under trumps watch. I believe that is empathy.
Daily show ran her stuff regularly. Sure, No one cared about her 82 page policy book. Or her talks about how she was going to improve tax credits for lower class and increase tax for $400k+ people.
But i agree, I don't get it. In the end Harris didn't need to inspire vote for her because Trump sure inspired me to not let him win. Biden sure did not inspire me either but for some reason he got 15 mil more votes. I thought his nomination was hard BS at the time.
You speak truth.
I guess Biden was just a miracle for the dems or he just had way more time to campaign.
Hmm don't remember people saying that so I'll defer to you there. I do recall Biden saying he was a 1 time candidate but I thought it was because he was Old.
I hope we all get to see true progressive candidate those people can vote for. I'm scared we won't get the chance.
Hope to see you on the other side. I really do.
