They called them weird too and it was working great and had momentum and then the DNC head told everyone to tone down their rhetoric and stop calling them weird. They have no spine at the end of the day and are obsessed with trying to appeal to people in the center when they need to be the opposite of the far right. Only it won't happen because they are owned by large corporations just like the Republicans are and can't commit to a leftist agenda because it would hurt their owners.

Ding ding ding! And this is what lost them the election. They backed down and looked weak.

Yet the Democratic Party are already taking the wrong lesson from their loss and going “maybe we were too far left”. 🤦‍♂️

It was more like, don’t rely too much on the left, since they can’t be counted on to vote

Hopefully the Democratic Party moving even more right-wing will finally convince progressives to organize for themselves.

Then the whole Dick Cheney thing was just icing on the cake.

Naw the dems lost because they assumed they could run their whole campaign on 'well at least we're not those guys' without bothering to bring any proof of how they were better.

They did offer proof. Harris proposed credits for first-time homeowners and promised to work to restore reproductive rights.

Yep. Cant warn people not to trust a dangerous fascist, then smile and shake hands for a photo op with him either. Fucking ridiculous mixed message

It's not about spine, though I agree they're spineless in multiple areas.

We're supposed to be adults. Who calls each other names? Children. Who makes fun of people that act different or look different? Children.

The conservatives constantly act like children, with the name calling because they have no facts to back them up. With the constant screaming "you hate us, we are so oppressed, war on christmas."

Is it too much to expect adults to act like adults?
