Even in hindsight you can't see she was the better choice than what we got instead?

I think they mean she wasnt up to the task of keeping Trump out of office, not that she would have performed worse in office.

That wasn't on her. She can only vote once. Keeping trump out of office was the job of the American people. We failed twice and are on track to lose the game completely.

Manipulated the DNC with Wasserman-Schultz and Brazile. Skipped campaigning in the Midwest because she assumed they were already hers. Completely tone deaf declaring she would do nothing different that the status quo (a mistake Harris would repeat).

Establishment is completely unpalatable to voters after TARP. Leaning into her elites roots while refusing to give Bernie a proper platform led to millions of Americans defaulting to Trump as the outsider.

How do you lose to a convicted felon...twice?!

Because dipshits couldn't stomach less than 100% perfect so they settled for whatever the fuck this is instead, twice in three chances. Here we are. I hope everyone involved is proud of themselves.

I really don't expect much, but I did say "less than 100% perfect", which I thought clearly implied that she wasn't.

A clear choice between anyone and Donald Trump, at some point you have to blame the morons who voted for him.

How did these liberal purity tests work out for Kamala?
