my hot take is I'm blaming Biden. at the time I thought quitting would be fatal, but the start of Kamala's campaign changed my mind.

I still think quitting was the right decision, but he should've done it in 2023. writing was already on the wall, and it would've given y'all a competitive campaign that hopefully would've ended with a candidate everyone was excited about and invested in, rather than fait accompli, better get on board.

yay revisionism!

I blame the people who voted for Trump. That’s it. That’s the answer. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 7, 03:33 5
- For sure, but learn from it or lose next time too. For whatever reason dude resonates with people, and the playbook isn’t working. - mafic Nov 7, 04:23 3
  - 1) "effecive" is hilarious and depressing. 2) 100%. -- nm - amandachem Nov 7, 05:33 2
    - It really is. A couple Australians have tried it and fizzled, but I feel like there’s growing ill will particularly around housing, inflation, and - mafic Nov 7, 05:45 1
      - Trump's superpower is getting people to feel exactly what he wants then to no matter what words he uses. - Inigo Nov 7, 06:10

Obama and Pelosi apparently wanted Mark Kelly to be the nominee and had already worked on it, which is why Biden immediately said it was going to be - jnine Nov 6, 22:23
Though I’m not convinced that Kamala would have won the primary, or that a better candidate would have come out of it. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 20:10 3
- What candidate would have made it? Name one. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 21:16 2
  - kind of the unknowable of history. moments in campaigns forge people for good or ill and who knows what might have happened. - mafic Nov 6, 21:49
  - evidence suggests, unfortunately, that dems should have gone with Penisface McDickhaver -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 21:36
Yes he should have quit in 2023. But it's BS to blame him. There was so much more. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 20:04
She proved herself to be up for the job, look at how she triggered him at the debate, she would have been a competent executive. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 20:01 7
- she kicked his fat ass into the sun at that debate. Hias cult says it was 3 to 1 because the moderators fact checked him, he's the Real Victim. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 21:14
- for sure. I just think people would've been more excited if she was a choice rather than a given. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 20:35 5
  - It was racism and sexism that made her have about 12 million less votes than Biden. Being on the campaign trail longer wouldn't have changed that. - Inigo Nov 7, 03:53 1
    - it's not going to change the result but it's driving me insane that people are comparing this when half of California is still not counted. - Reagen Nov 7, 04:08
  - The people voted for her as VP. All of the votes for Biden were also votes for her. This is MAGA bullshit. -- nm* - loosilu Nov 6, 21:15 2
    - also I'm not saying "nobody voted for her, she's a fraud!" I think she was the only possible late-stage replacement for Biden, but people are more - mafic Nov 6, 22:00
    - veep is a secondary factor, and for most people a distant one. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 21:53
Sadly overheard more maga types mention gender over anything Biden did/didnt do. -- nm - budice Nov 6, 19:50 2
- Heard countless MAGAs, especially women, claim she was unqualified and had no policies, both of which are obvious bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 20:05 1
  - Every time, I asked them to specify. No one ever was able to answer. They were repeating Trump and Fox bullshit. - loosilu Nov 6, 21:18
