Im just going to say it

[ColinC]

Pushing Biden out of the race was probably a bad idea?

[Klarkashton]

1. Biden running for a second term wasn't so hot

To begin with.

[Johnny2X2X]

4. That was the mistake

Joe is a great man, he let his pride get the best of him.

[beaglelover]

6. Yes exactly!

[beaglelover]

2. Disagree. We would have probably lost worse with Biden.

After the debate all of the air was sucked out of the Democrats.

[joshcryer]

3. Shaprio was the mistake.

Oh well live and learn.

[dweller]

5. Maybe he saw it

And thought Kamala would have a fighting chance ?

I wish I knew


✌🏻

[Coventina]

7. I honestly don't think it would have made a difference.

Fascism is on the march, globally.

People are scared and want a strong man to protest them.

[JCMach1]

10. I agree , 0 difference

[artemisia1]

26. This. /nt

[WarGamer]

8. Biden shouldn't have ran in 24... step aside and allow a healthy primary

Whitmer, Mayor Pete, Newsom... and Harris

[Silent Type]

12. Agree. Although Harris was really the only choice by July and she and Walz were great.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. Yep.

[Silent Type]

9. I think we would have lost by more, honestly. We had a good ticket. There are more white wingers here

than I ever thought. And I grew up around racist Southerners.

[beaglelover]

13. Trump grew his base with Black and Latino men.

That’s NOT a good thing for us. We must analyze the data and then find out what went wrong.

[SKKY]

18. We'll see what happens with the Latino vote when they start mass deportations...

...but in my opinion, Merrick Garland slow-walking Trump's prosecutions was the big mistake.

[Silent Type]

24. It would have knocked him out if convicted, but I think trump's voters saw the prosecutions as political harassment.

I think he should have been placed before a firing squad in Jan 2021. But don’t think GOPers saw it that way. Tonight, there were more of them than us.

[Silent Type]

22. I agree. We'll know more in weeks to come, but immigration was a huge issue. I've pretty

much been for protecting immigrants’ rights, especially those who have been here for several years contributing to communities. But bigots just don’t care about that.

The economics issue is tough with inflation (though easing without the predicted recession) and high housing costs now. While I argued against trump’s BS whenever it came up, it’s tough going from “people are living paycheck to paycheck” as we were last year, to the economy is great.

Hopefully, we’ll get insights into problems in coming weeks. Like 2016, the midterms are around corner.

[Self Esteem]

11. Biden would have lost by a lot more. He very likely would have lost MN, VA and NH.

While IL, NJ and maybe even CO and NY were way closer than they are right now.

Biden, I love him, but there's no way in hell he would have done better.

[dchill]

14. The mistake. Was Merrick Garland.

[uponit7771]

15. ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾****THIS !!!**** I will never miss if f**kin face ... never

[Greg_In_SF]

16. RBG not

retiring was also

[Jack Valentino]

17. It WAS a bad idea by political historical standards--- but I believe that Kamala

ran an incredible campaign, much better than Joe could have done---- he never could have made the campaign that she did---

(unless he SHOT Trump on Fifth Avenue)

and I was vehemently against pushing him out of the race---

[Silent Type]

25. I'm not listening to anyone that blames her. Considering the circumstances, this campaign would have

won in any other universe.

[Jack Valentino]

29. Like I said, I don't blame her for anything.

[Silent Type]

31. Sorry, I should have put a +1. I'm in total agreement with you.

[Jack Valentino]

32. We're all upset. This is all just so TOTALLY fucked up!!

beyond human logic.

Spock has left the universe.

[Polybius]

20. I think he dropped out too late

We needed a healthy primary.

[Jack Valentino]

30. We needed a mentally healthy electorate.

Unfortunately it seems we don't have one.


They'll find out.

[tulipsandroses]

21. There is nothing we could have done differently. It wouldn't have mattered who was on the ticket

The people that voted for trump were not going to go for Biden or anyone else. They wanted that guy.
We pushed, we fought, hundreds of thousands of people volunteered, knocked on doors.
I don't know if we could have done anything differently to combat the anti immigrant hate, social media propaganda and people thinking the economy is bad. Some people think unemployment is the worst it's ever been.

[Duncan Grant]

23. It doesn't matter, they hate all democrats and what we represent.

Bottom line, the American people were informed. If they did choose trump — they knew *exactly* what they were doing.

[BannonsLiver]

27. Actually, I'm not sure.

Frankly I thought he should have stepped aside a year ago. There would have been a primary rather than putting her in a thread the needle position. It’ll be debated for years.

[Patton French]

28. I agree with you.

Huge mistake. Scranton Joe would’ve owned PA. Makes me sad.

[Lulu KC]

33. We'll never know

Personally, I see no point in this, but everyone have fun.

[B.See]

34. Neither do I. Stop

blaming ourselves or each other.

Blame those who chose a dictatorship over democracy.
