    Sounds good on paper or if not on battleground state. I remember people pissed at DNC in 2016 got us Trump the first time.

      Technically running the least popular candidate in history while simultaneously pied pipering the most dangerous candidate in history was not perpetrated by “people pissed at DNC”.

        Blame the voters for consistently snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is a core tenet of Dem strategy, and of liberalism for that matter.

      I remember people pissed at DNC in 2016 got us Trump the first time.

      Other people would blame Clinton’s campaign for refusing to move to the left to get more votes.

      They had a very “vote for me or fuck you” approach, much like OP’s meme.

      But when looking at exit polling, progressives showed up and voted D like we always do. Clinton lost by slim margins in a couple of important battleground states she mostly ignored.

      And I’m not saying all that to bring up old wounds, it’s because Hillary’s people became Bidens people who became Kamala’s.

      They’re still the ones making these policy decisions that are wildly unpopular.

      They shouldn’t be in charge still, but they are.

      ah yes, the tired old “poor defenseless hillary had no power to change her fate and did nothing wrong” theory.

      Blaming voters for her terrible campaign and DNC shenanigans is really insulting to women. Hillary had a million times the agency of every voter you try to slam for Hillary’s own mistakes. Saying otherwise minimalizes her.

      She still blames everyone but herself for the loss. Thats not leadership.
