      Mostly the anger at having to pick a slightly less lethal poison election after election

      The DNC went full mask off this year by not holding primaries. By campaining with the cheneys and pushing 10 year old GOP policies/talking points.

      All they will learn from this is losing elections still lets you amass a “warchest” of one billion dollars

        The last president – Obama – that the DNC really wasn’t at all involved with was still somehow not very progressive.

          The DNC has equal “involvement” in every election, which is to hold primary elections so voters can choose a nominee. The nominees chosen by the voters all run their own campaigns.

        Harris is not the DNC. The DNC is not a person. The DNC did not “campaign with they Cheneys”. The DNC did not “push 10 year old GOP politicies.” Nor did Harris, to my knowledge.

        The only job of the DNC was to hold primaries. And they did that. Biden dropped out after the primaries were over.

        The DNC’s only main job is to hold primaries. It’s not up to them to “learn” anything. They always go with the choice of the voters. The only people who can learn anything from this is the voters. The DNC is not a person. It is an fluid organization controlled by the primary voters.

          I remember when Obama said he would codify Roe v Wade if he got elected then did nothing.

          The inaction of dems got us here

            I seem to remember Dems spending all their political capital on the ACA.

            You could argue they could have done more. But I’m responding to the comment above it and to suggest Dems are “slightly less lethal” is idiotic.

            And that’s just abortion. Add in repealing the ACA and mass deportation, the comparison gets dummer and dummer.
