Of course they would. Changing the presentation of the map doesn't change the results.And the Dems would still lose.
Well I was in my car voice to text thing, having just parked to run into an appointment. If I was on a computer I would have edited it out but it's a pain in the ass on the phone when you're in a rush.Well, that certainly wasn't clear given that his statement started with: "We lost because we didn't pass HR1 and the John Lewis VRA, full stop. There are other mistakes made, some of which I've mentioned in this thread, but those two ensured we couldn't win swing states anymore which meant Republicans just had to run out the clock."
When you say he's "completely wrong" that leads me to believe you're saying he is... well, completely wrong? And that's one of the things he said, you know? With a "full stop" even, for emphasis.
"It's not up for debate" as you sit here debating it....Unfortunately you're completely wrong and it's painful to see how many Democrats refuse to acknowledge how the party failed miserably, because you can't get better if you don't accept your major failures.
We can absolutely say with 100% certainty than having a primary was the best option for us to defeat Trump. It's not up for debate. It didn't guarantee a win, but it was certainly the better option. And this is not just hindsight, The majority of Democratic voters didn't want Biden to run, his numbers were abysmal across the board with both parties. He literally looked terrible. he was the worst candidate .Every single point of data said Biden running again was a terrible idea.
And what did the Democratic establishment give us? Joe Biden. It represents the ultimate failure of democratic leadership and consultants, and that has to be understood before you can fix these fundamental issues with key parts of the Democratic machine.
I really find it sad but also dangerous that people are so in denial of reality still.
Absolutely, although again that is a failure on Biden's part. There are a ton of things he could have given them to secure their vote, but he didn't. His failure to effectively negotiate with his former colleagues was stunning to me. But yes, we failed as a party at every level to ensure we had a fair chance to win going forward, but we've been failing at that for 25 years now. The 2000 election should have been a wake up call. It was, but not to the left.Not a bad shout..
And ofcourse don't forget Sinema and Manchin killing so many things we wanted done like minimum wage increases, scotus judges and so many things that could have crippled MAGA but instead we got what we got..
Senate votes are won via horse trading. They failed to recognize that the cost for voting rights would be higher than expected and as a result did not up the ante to get them on board. Obviously those two are shitheads to use these must pass bills to negotiate, but they did and Biden needed to make it happen given the stakes. He failed to rise to the occasion.We didn't pass HR-1 because of Kyrstan Simena and Joe Manchin
Oh good lordy. What a cop out reply."It's not up for debate" as you sit here debating it....
This word, I do not think it means what you think it means....
We will never improve the Dem party if people keep focusing in their pet problems and then projecting that onto the results as though they aren't simply demonstrating selection and confirmation bias.Oh good lordy. What a cop out reply.
You will never improve the Dem party if you don't acknowledge the massive high level failures of its leadership. And the failure of Biden 2024 is not up for debate if it was wrong or not - it was. Period.
There's a difference between conservative and neo-nazi. There's plenty of conservative viewpoints on the other side of the pond.I can also attest that there is not one single news outlet in Europe supporting conservative or right-wing views.
Pair that with reddit + twitter + facebook provenly engaging in suppression of right-wing leaning views and personalities for the better part of the last decade, and the notion that there was a "massive right-wing media sphere" has to be coming from either irony or a bubble.
It's a word play out of Totentanz from Franz Liszt.Tell me, what is the translation of your username, out of curiosity?
Of course they would. Changing the presentation of the map doesn't change the results.
But changing the presentation can give a more accurate visual representation of how close the election actually was.
I can make the numbers 1 and 1,000,000 look awfully close together if my scale bar goes to 6.022x10^23
Terrifying, uncharted waters ahead.

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”...bsky.app
You are so fuck nieve. You must have lived a very sheltered and closed off life, if you think anything you experienced, has anything to do with a piece of paper, that these people don't have. That's it, that is all that makes them different than all the other assholes out there being assholes, just a piece of paper. You really need to get out more, because the citizens of this country are substantially worse, and commit more horrendous crimes by far.We're nothing alike.
I'm way left of squishy on healthcare and LGBT issues, way right of squishy on migrants and taxes.
The media drummed up the hate of migrants and quite honestly.. after experiencing it myself.. I have to say they were right. There's also things we don't see on the surface with what these migrants do.. we all think they're good, but there's sophisticated criminal scamming organizations out there which exist for one purpose.. to steal money and to send it back home overseas.
This is just a few examples:
So can you really blame people if their hate of migrants runs deep?
Great, send the court officers to arrest him for contempt.and there you go -
The Courts Blocked Trump’s Federal Funding Freeze. Agencies Are Withholding Money Anyway.
Agencies continue to suspend funding, despite multiple court orders blocking the federal freeze. Experts say the Trump administration’s actions set the stage for challenges to Congress’ authority — and the limits of the presidency.www.propublica.org
Coup?
Is that how you call it when you massively lose an election with a landslide favoring the other side? How can you complain about gerrymandering when you lost everything, including
the popular vote?
Yes, it is a coup. The executive branch is ignoring the law and doing it's own thing, illegally.Coup?

Of course not. Its bat shit crazy.I can also attest that there is not one single news outlet in Europe supporting conservative or right-wing views.
The psychopathic narcissist perpetual liar and idol of the Republican Party since 2016 who now occupies the White House has been given to the most outrageous hyperbole he can come up with for as long as he's been in politics. Your credibility is negligible.After all that's happened, if you guys still didn't get that throwing hyperboles around is detrimental to your cause, you should get ready for at least another 2 terms of republicans in power.
If the repeal of Roe didnt turn the tides ... what the fuck will? Nothing. Interesting times ahead. Nazis will walks the streets again. It is what it is.
Your thoughts and opinions with regard to American life are then clearly all but superfluous.I don't really care either way. I never lived in the US and most probably never will.
I just put the troll on ignore.I wish you would have posted this earlier so I could have ignored your opinions instead of wasting my time.
Kthxbi
