Laying Blame Is Not the Answer

[Ocelot II]

9. Laying blame only causes division and infighting,

and does nothing to improve the circumstances in which we find ourselves. It's one thing to analyze, which will be an ongoing process; but pointing fingers just gives the finger-pointers easy excuses. "This wouldn't have happened if..."
(Choose one or more of the following):

*Biden had decided not to run for a second term a year ago.
*The candidate had been someone other than Harris.
*Biden had not withdrawn and stayed in the race.
*Harris had chosen a different running mate.
*Garland had started the Trump prosecutions sooner.
*Democrats had focused the campaign more on white blue-collar voters.
*Democrats had focused the campaign more on minority concerns.
*Democrats had focused the campaign less on minority concerns.
*Democrats had focused the campaign less on abortion.
*Democrats hadn't sought the support of Liz Cheney and other anti-Trump GOPers.
*Harris/Walz had campaigned in more or different states.
*Etc.

But none of those things happened and we are where we are now. So what are we going to about it? Do a post-mortem, fine; but sitting around the morgue staring at the remains, trying to resurrect a zombie and getting mad at each other when the corpse doesn't get up from the table won't get us a real live campaign next time.
