My point is that anyone who says they didn’t like Harris when she was literally the only viable choice come the general elections must therefore be totally fine with Trump, because that’s what the actual effect of their decision was.

All of this idealistic backwards reasoning they are using to somehow absolve themselves from having fucking Trump as the president is just foolishness.

Or maybe people who didn't like Harris knew that her winning wouldn't be a win at all. What would she have accomplished? If you think she would have prevented the next republican from being even worse than Trump '24, then I have a bridge to sell you

Well she clearly wasn't a viable choice, was she?

It's all of your USAmericans fault. At least the people voting this party are trying to change the status quo.

Yes, the majority are fine with Trump burning things down over the current two party choice. That's what democracy has informed is the case. It's so idealistic reasoning to think it would have happened any other way.

Or may be the democratic leadership was totally fine knowing well and good that Harris or Biden has good chance of losing and they still fronted her. All of this money motivated selfishness of Democratic establishment just piles on top of having Trumps president. They should have fronted AoC or Bernie very early on.

Tbf, Harris and Walz came out swinging. In the beginning they were calling JD Vance weird, but then Biden's staff took over and wanted a more conciliatory tone.
