Kamala was a solid candidate. The October "surprise" was the hurricanes. We needed better optics and turn off the Trump lie machine. The other issue is/was an overdependence on ground game. Internet reach out is more effective and the DCCC "panic" messaging is ineffective.

Mostly, Donald J. Trump should have been in prison for life tow years ago. The Pubs damn sure would have had Hillary or Obama behind bars if they pulled a J6. Garland blew it.
Garland did act way too slow, but the "Party of Law and Order" shouldn't have blocked the 2nd impeachment and we wouldn't be where we are today.
 
I am about to throw up. I’m 70 and I know I’m not going to live a whole hell of a lot longer. I’m scared for my children and grandchildren.

I’m also very worried about our place in the world . If trump abandons our commitments to NATO (which is almost guaranteed) our word in the world won’t be worth a plugged nickel. What are countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand going to think? If we won’t honor our most basic foreign policy commitment, they will have to come to some agreement with China.

I can’t believe how fucking stupid our country has become.
 
I’m kind of at the point where I’ll happily wave goodbye to them at the port. If you vote against your own interests, FAFO.
Personally, I'm much farther along. I sincerely hope the Pubs do it all...I hope they ban abortion nationwide. I hope SCOTUS strikes down gay marriage. I hope Musk guts every federal agency. I hope they build the wall and actively deport all the good hard working immigrants. Hell, I hope they persecute and come after those of us who are left leaning.

Bring the pain.

That is the only prayer of breaking this delirium...absolute and total misery nationwide. Let them run with it. It's the only way people will see them for who they are. Even then it may not be enough.
 
Assuming we still have a presidential election in four years, I've got to make a mental note to do the following things in 2028:

1) Do not, under any circumstances, believe that Florida or Texas or North Carolina are "in play", no matter what the media or polls or talking head pundits say. They're not.
2) Social media and the internet are wonderful in some ways, but they've created a monster in other ways by giving idiots and con artists the ability to spread lies, conspiracy theories, and disinformation (like vaccines are bad) that have poisoned our political system. So expect the worst.
3) It doesn't matter how ridiculous Trump's campaign is, or how many straight up lies he tells or how many awful things he says, he's still going to get a record vote from his cult.
4) With every election cycle more and more of our news and social media is owned or being managed by right-wingers, so they now have a powerful media presence to promote their candidates 24/7.
5) In the Age of Trump, never get your hopes up if you're a Democrat. Expect the worst and if good things happen you can be pleasantly surprised, and if the worst happens at least you can say you saw it coming.

Half of the population will still be blinded.by their hate and fear from racism, bigotry and Christian nationalism to care. They will find something else to blame it on in order to keep their feeling of superiority based on their race, religion, and sexual orientation.

And unfortunately more and more people are getting dumber instead of smarter and seeing through all the bullshit.

True, but Biden't #1A objective after COVID was to ensure Trump never ran for office again after the Senate abdicated responsibility.
