Sorry, I don’t understand a bit of that.

Wait, are you telling me that thoughts and prayers actually meant “volunteers giving me free help” and “tons of money when I ask for it” this whole time? Son of a…

Bingo

I think it’s pretty damn weird.

I appreciate the concern but Hillary did not get overhyped. She wasn’t moving anyone like this.

I was one of those people. It seemed incredibly stupid to me.

I thought we’d fracture, and infighting would eat up our next three months. I thought it would squander our remaining chances. I thought the same people who didn’t want Biden also didn’t want Kamala, and I didn’t know of anyone else.

I thought it would open us up to litigation, and because I don’t trust our judicial branch, I thought that would let Republicans strangle a candidate in courts. Most importantly, I thought Republicans actually had a plan and a strategy.

I was very wrong and it doesn’t bother me at all to admit it. In fact, I’m relieved.

“Coronated” is a real tell as to what your opinion diet consists of.

I know I sure would.

That’s just more words, not more substance. You’re doing here exactly what AOC is calling out: giving a vague description of the surface of what you think will happen in a best case scenario with no tactical or even strategic consideration for first mitigating the chaos the basic act will create.

The problem isn’t that you need to come up with the play by play, the problem is that no one has. It’s literally the worst kind of plan: no plan at all.

It’s about the dumbest possible move, really, and it’s telling that the only motivation behind it is that he’s old.

Throw out the incumbent advantage, throw out all current strategies months before the election, hand wave away the candidate slate as objectively better with minimal examination, expose us to huge legal vulnerability against the most litigious party I’ve ever seen, who currently seems to have captured the judicial branch, in the highest stakes election I’ve seen so far, and do it all without any inkling of a play by play to create unity and mitigate doubt or even a hint of an acknowledgment of the problems that the move would cause in the best case scenario?

Awful.

The post you’re responding to says no one is making good suggestions, just saying “give up and come up with a new last minute plan”. Awful advice. Just awful.

No one cares if you critique anyone. It’s not anyone’s job to take bad plans seriously.

Did you read the post?

Questioning and reevaluating is good, but context matters. No choice exists in a place apart from its surrounding context. That means that sometimes you have to recognize when the context is such that perfect becomes the enemy of good.

Not being able to do that is a huge flaw, and it’s a vulnerability that the wealthy are happily helping Republicans exploit right now.

Yeah. It’s a genuinely pathetic trait for Democratic voters. Republicans think it’s hilarious and weak, and they’re correct. It is. It makes Democratic voters incredibly easy to troll and manipulate with rumor mills such as this thread.
