    It's ok to blame the Democrats for their failures, which are certainly legion.

    But Democrats are not responsible for choosing the government. Voters are.

    They voted against Trump in record numbers in 2020. What did that get them?

    Again, what did voting "liberal" get them? Not much liberal action...

    No progress on universal healthcare.
    Very little progress on even access to healthcare, aside from a few specific prescriptions. And why just a few?
    No progress on high speed rail. No progress on building more housing.
    No progress on expanding access to broadband, or more choice of ISPs
    Definitely screwed up on border messaging, if not actual border policy...

    That's not very inspirational.

    Dems have to stop expecting people to vote for them just because they aren't the boogeyman. That just turns into white noise after a while.

    Or we can let Dems continue being part of the problem and we all lose.

    Damn! Never thought I would see the day where we had the equivalent of the Gestapo in this country. But then, I never thought someone as blatantly evil as Trump could be elected president.

    A four year old girl had her medical parole revoked by Trump and will be deported. She requires daily medical care not available in Mexico, without which she will die in days. Is that what you voted for?

    Meanwhile, the men sent to Salvadoran concentration camp who had legally filed asylum petitions when they were kidnapped by US government are all having asylum petitions dismissed one after another without the individual or their attorney present at request of Trump. So that they can't be returned to US. Don't you feel safe?

    Why is it Kamala lost? It seemed the party and mainstream had her winning in a landslide. Was it the way it came down with Joe dropping out and no convention, certain issues she didn't address with voters, being an ex prosecutor from the Left Coast? I think if the convention would have happened and a women besides Kamala was endorsed game over for trump.

    She didn't have the opportunity to sharpen her policy against other candidates. That would have helped her a lot.

    Also, Trump refusing to debate hurt big time. 3 debates and I think Kamala might have won. She was just too sharp for him. He would have lost some supporters after that I think. And she probably would have gained some, and in the process probably have made the Dem ticket more broadly appealing.

    Looks like the Trump Administration is walking that one back after lawyers for the family held a press conference and made this very very public.

    MAGA pastor in Florida campaigned for Trump. Trump is going to deport bad people pouring across the border! Pastor now being deported after 20 years in US, American wife and children, business owner, ordained minister.

    Face eating leopard were supposed to eat other people's faces!
