71. Millions of Americans were convinced
Sun Nov 10, 2024, 03:50 PM
Nov 2024

that children with ambiguous genitalia were a bigger threat than a convicted sexual predator.

Millions of Americans were convinced they are worse off today than 4 years ago. I guess they forgot the bodies stacking up in refrigerator trucks and the complete shut down of the world economy.

Millions of Americans were convinced that immigrants were eating pets.

Millions of Americans are convinced that poor people of color are getting more benefits than them.

We were out messaged, out marketed, out lawyered, and out judged.

Okay. As my Mother said “ you’ve made your bed now lay in it.”

In my opinion, this is the second time we lost because the Old Guard, elite Dems will not move to the center; will not spend money on younger Dems; will not put term limits on Congress and more. Too many elite Dems want to run on social issues and the Trumpers are pounding us into the ground.

Nobody cheated. Nobody stole votes. We lost because we are out of touch with middle class Americans, blue collar workers, farmers, and unions i.e., our historic base.

Just my two cents.
