>The real problem is the electorate.

How does this argument even make sense to someone with half a brain?

> The real problem is the electorate

This is similar to a company blaming customers for not buying from them and preferring their competitors' products. The game doesn't work that way.

That pesky electorate. Clinging to their religion and guns. A basket of deplorables. Garbage.

This is an interesting statement. To follow it, if the problem is the electorate, how do you think you fix that if the electorate is the one who gets to choose.

Do you think it would be better if we used some other system than democracy, so that the electorate don't get a say?

Democracy is when you vote for the appointed candidate. Fascism is when the electorate decides the election.
> a bloated corpse should have beaten Donald Trump.

That’s the attitude that got us a second Trump term. DNC did not take this threat seriously, and here we are.

There was a talking head comment last night.

"The Harris campaign told us today that they are 'nauseatingly confident'. I don't know that I've ever heard nausea as a positive thing."

The DNC are too much in their own bubble.

> Kamala was a perfectly good candidate.

You were literally just proven empirically incorrect. Demand better from your party or this will just keep happening, stop compromising.

Honestly, anyone who thinks Kamala is perfect at anything other than working the party machine for self-promotion is probably a little too invested to see things clearly.
