    no platform other than “we’re not trump! Elect an anti-democratic party to save democracy! Trumps the next hitler!!!

    Yeah? Why do you need a platform beyond this?

    It was a competent former prosecutor vs a serially lying violent felon.

      ‘But Trump’ got you Trump twice. At this point you’re arguing against the concrete proof that your view WON’T WORK to justify blaming people that tried to save you from yourself.

      You, in this case, is the DNC and everyone else blaming voters for the failure of the DNC.

      They shouldn’t have even include the democracy angle in their campaign. You cannot run on “Trump is a threat to democracy,” when you own administration has completely failed to put the man behind bars.

      Imagine the insanity if Trump, in 2020, had ran on a campaign of taxes being too low, after he had just slashed them. That is the level of idiocy the Harris campaign was trying to run on.

      You had four years to put the guy behind bars. You don’t get to then point to him as a threat to democracy, since you yourself clearly do not consider him to be a threat to democracy.

      Actions. Speak. Louder. Than. Words.
