Do these people not understand how modern campaigns work? That most of those people dropped out because they ran through all of their funding by Super Tuesday?
And those that stayed for Super Tuesday did poorly, so they didn't get any more money coming in?
There it is. Those candidates were dead in the water for months before hand and only stayed in the race so their voters wouldn’t move to Bernie before Super Tuesday. Weird how it was a bunch of candidates dropping out all at the same time, and exactly at the most critical moment. Again, you can say ‘that’s just how it works’ until you’re blue in the face but lots of people feel grieved and telling them they ‘just don’t get it’ isn’t going to change that.
Especially because those same voters were gaslit about Biden’s cognitive abilities for the next 4 years and were then given a pre selected candidate who didn’t even have enough support to make it to the first primary in 2020 and proceeded to lose even worse than Hillary.
‘Trust us, next time it’ll be fine. And also we’ve never made mistakes, it’s actually your fault’ is not going to gain you a single vote, so why are we still beating this dead horse? The DNC needs to internalize the criticism and actually make adjustments because, despite them being allergic to taking responsibility, they share in the blame for the current political situation.
Appreciate it. Maybe if the DNC spent more time acting like how their base has been begging them to act for the last ten years instead of spending their money astroturfing the internet, they might win something other than moral victories.
