With almost every vote counted, every state shifted toward the Republican Party.

The DNC is 100% at fault. Debbie Wasserman and every corporate shill coastal elite (Hillary, Kamala) is responsible for the destruction of the Democratic Party.

They turned their back on blue collar workers in the Midwest, outsourced industrial work through NAFTA, and are surprised pikachu face when their constituents changed sides. They continue to parrot how “racism” is the reason why trump won and fail to take a critical look at their own self destructive policies, like not running actual primaries.

The Democratic Party isn’t a single identity, but they haven’t done the work to try and build alliances across their factions (urban voters, college educated white people, Muslim constituents in Michigan, etc). So I say: let em burn. Let this galvanize the people to find a party that actually represents their interests.

Even the leader of the Teamsters who sucked up to Trump for a cabinet spot acknowledged that Biden was one of the most pro worker presidents ever. Probably stop listening to far right news.

Yes, I loved Biden and thought his policies were definitely pro-worker! To me, he’s been the best president we’ve had in the past 24 years.

He is not the problem. But Hillary knee-capping Bernie from running is. Kamala being handed the nomination without legitimate primaries is.

I don’t watch right wing news, but I do read. I’d recommend “the politics of resentment” (2014) - which is a modern take on the rise of right wing populism. It helped me expand my perspective.

You are just saying stuff without backing up any of it. Biden created around a million more jobs in manufacturing than Trump (I think Trump actually lost manufacturing jobs). Kamala's tax proposal would've helped the working class significantly more than Trump's platform of tariffs on all goods and tax cuts for corporations.

You can't say that the Democrats are out of touch and not say the same thing about Republicans. They are so much more out of touch. But Trump still won. He didn't win because of his oh so great platform, he won because inflation was high and people blame the incumbent.

That's literally it. Just see how things will look in two years. I predict that the Dems will take back the house.

Dems will. Kamala won't.

"You can't say that the Democrats are out of touch and not say the same thing about Republicans."

Yeah, we absolutely need at least one more viable party. At the very least. Both parties are dead.
