Tomorrow Donald Trump will take the oath of office again. By spurning economic populism and embracing Bush-era Republicans, Democrats helped pave the way for his second inauguration.

Trumps victory squarely falls on the shoulders of the Democrats and the greater left. Not some genius plan from king Cheeto. It was a master class in how to lose an election by the Dems.

I really REALLY want them to learn their lesson but I fear they super won't.

the greater left

This is how we know you are ignorant and don't know what you're talking about. The Democrats are center-right, and the left view the majority of the D establishment and political class as the same corporate oligarchy of the GOP.

Not voting for Kamala was a vote to let Trump destroy the US and pull the mask off the whole "democracy" charade.
