  • I am really wondering if comments will start being unsafe with a lessened expectation of free speech continuing and revenge being the new normal. Im going to start a new account thats not linked to my email address. I’d suggest everyone else do the same.




  • I’m saying as a subordinate in the Whitehouse she cannot largely deviate from the official position

    She absolutely can. VP is an elected position, whats he going to do, fire her? cut her out of decisions? Decisions already literally werent her job. And he could read a poll the same as the rest of us. He should have understood that she needed to play to win. You’re confusing loyalty with her inability to grab the ring and lead.





  • She didnt “have to” align with Biden as much as she did. That was a clear mistake and a missed opportunity. She also didnt have to support the far right wing israeli genocide. She didnt have to spend the entire last month of her ground game trying to appeal to disaffected repiblicans, losing dem base support every single day in the process. She didnt have to do so poorly on the economy issue either.

    Lets face it, she was a flawed candidate. She’s a political noob who by her past performance appears hesitant to take policy positions.











  • Some thing that also might have played into this “brokenness” you speak of:

    • The dems saying the economy is fine – or great even–when the public feels its not made the dems look out of touch.
    • The DNC supporting a far right wing war and counting on the base to get 100% behind them.
    • The dem candidate running to the right to look for republican votes in their ground game and losing a steady amount of votes from their base every day for a month without a strategy change.
    • The dem candidate failing to renounce or suggest they’d depart from policies that poll extremely unpopularly.
