The problem wasn't Kamala or Trump. That's something coming from decades ago. The real problem is a party system where one of the parties wants to go full throttle to the right and the other party just wants to go slower. That's a recipe for disaster. Imagine if the Dems had elected Sanders instead of Hillary on the primaries. Trump wouldn't had have a change in hell to be elected and the policies would have steered the country to the left.

Imagine if the Dems had elected Sanders instead of Hillary on the primaries.

He lost. He literally lost the popular vote for the primaries.

I respect the shit out of Sanders, but he isn't as popular as people on the internet like to think.

We can't keep saying "what if" regarding candidates that lost the popular vote during primaries. They were never starters.

Yes, completely agree that it has been coming for decades. The best time to fight it was decades ago. For this specific type of scum then the best time to fight it was in 2016.

But that didn't happen. What happened was the orange child rapist got in in 2016, and fucked things up.
Then was -very fucking slowly- convicted of numerous shit during bidens term. And was in the midst of the -also very late and slow- investigations for the stealing of top secret documents and treason stuff (plus other shit) when he said loads of stuff about being a dictator, and how he wouldn't need people votes again as things would be 'fixed' by them etc etc...AND people still decided to either vote for it, or not directly vote against it.

It's pretty simple. A vote that wasn't used specifically against this disgusting narcissistic tangerine toddler was a vote that enabled him to do what he is doing right now. If the non voters and protest voters had done the decent thing then almost none of this would've happened.

If the majority of people keep on voting for the most decent person then at some point things must get better.

It's the lesser evil strategy. And it doesn't work.

Doing nothing and then voting/enabling narcissistic, child raping, mushy brained, confirmed rapist dictators is far worse.

"Come to eat our tasteless food that stinks or you'll have to eat shit in the other restaurant" is not the best way to attract people to your cause. A lot of people stays at home if those are the options.

So carry on doing nothing then, how's that working out?

I'm from Spain. It could be much better and I hope it won't be worse. But at least there have left wing parties demanding the social democrats to lead to the left and the "vote us or else..." is losing power here.

There we go. The real experts on US Election strategy. None of them fucking live here.

From here it looks like the Democrats haven't either any expertise on the matter.
