It sounds like the Democrats just failed to present themselves as a viable alternative, or really inspire or motivate anyone to vote. Their platform seemed to be largely not being Trump.
The DNC and Biden failed us. His legacy will be tainted due to his failure to step aside for the nation. Kamala as a VP was already unpopular the DNC should've known they needed to choose someone who at least did well in the primaries or could actually fucking win.
I voted for her but I knew she probably wouldn't win, they don't fucking learn and then they blame us.
Even if you didn't vote for her, but voted either trump, 3rd party or spoilt vote, I respect that you voted. It's important to vote
When asked about healthcare, they said they had “concepts” of a plan.
Oh wait, no, that was the other guy.
Maybe, but it could also be that a large group of people chose not to vote because they thought it would mean something. I swore an oath and was prepared to lay down my life to protect the right of the American people to do just that. Seeing that "my fellow Americans" chose to back fascism, I honestly wish I could take it all back. When my son wanted nothing more than to run and play with his father through his childhood I was hobbling behind him with a cane, at the time I was okay with it because I thought I was protecting HIS rights (which is not the right reason I guess, I'm selfish).
At this point I just have to come to terms with the fact that over half the country is cool with it (every single non-vote was a vote for "I'm fine with whatever y'all want to do").
Every interview where questions were asked about Kamala's positions, shed talk about trump. It was not all that different than trump shit talking kamala even.
Thats the 2020 platform. If you want to be a talking head you'll need some argument more cogent than that^
