4. Corruption in our own party

(and we're fools to deny it) is cronyism that might not be as bad as Fatso hiring a real estate develloper buddy with a lifetime MaraLardo membership but few qualifications plus his crooked son in law as foreign policy deal makers and it's no wonder why they're so easily duped by Putin, who dazzles them with money while making unacceptable demands that do nothing to end his war. Ours is hiring a nincompoop dudebro for what could have and should have been a report that not only detailed why we lost but would detail corrective action to help us win in the future. Thaty it failed so completely is one big reason we keep losing.

Obviously, someone needs to oversee who is getting hired for what along with clear and concise delineation of instructions and explanations. Nincompoop dudebros should be thanked for their kind offers and shown to the nearest unemployment office, we can't afford them.

As for why we lost, I can answer that, I've been listening to enough fence sitters who fell off in Fatso's direction. Inflation was the biggest issue. While there were other issues, the next biggest, illegal immigration, was a distant second. Gaza as an issue was a very small issue that might have been bigger if people weren't having so much trouble affording groceries and rent.
