(998 posts)Our incumbent president ended his reelection campaign because the electorate claimed they wanted a younger candidate. So he agreed to only serve one term mainly to save American democracy from a second Trump term.
Harris picked Walz as VP, a complete unknown, over Shapiro, Kelly and Beshear mainly because progressive Democrats didn't like Shapiro because of his stance on Israel. Another huge risk.
Biden-Harris and elected Democrats thought these unconventional moves would draw people to the polls and help them decisively defeat Trump became that's what the double haters claimed they wanted.
In the end none of that was good enough because Americans preferred the twice impeached convicted felon who violently tried to overturn his 2020 loss and still wouldn't admit Biden won.
And 90 million eligible voters just stayed at home. I think Democrats took a lot of risks in 2024. In the end the American electorate proved their full of shit about what they want in a president. And now they're blaming Democrats for not saving them from Trump and MAGA's daily cruelty and incompetence.
Falling for the same con over and over again for 10 years will never make sense to me.
