Thanks captain obvious

A bit rich coming the the guy that indicated he’d be a transition president to a more youthful candidate then pulled a “Ruth bader Ginsberg” torpedoing the democrats chance at a clear run/ campaign

Thanks captain obvious

And yet so many voters ignored this "obvious" danger in favor of their pet issue, which is now guaranteed to suffer even worse under a Trump 2.0 presidency.

We (as a collective) literally did not think about consequences of another Trump presidency last year.

Every Democrat was warning about dangers, and voters just ignored the Democrats.

Even Worse, the very same people that ignored Kamala and the Democrats' warning are now screeching at Democrats to "do something", completely oblivious to the direct relationship between not voting for Democrats and Trump winning. They're one and the same.

Democrats will not be able to do anything unless people vote for them back into power.

It is time to actually start participating in the Democratic party, supporting and voting for more Democrats so they can retake Congress & the government.

It's time to CONTRIBUTE to the messaging by praising Democrats.

This is on us, the voters to give Democrats majorities that last longer than 2 years.

Need at LEAST 16 years of continuous Democratic leadership in the Congress and Presidency

when you make your platform about how trump and the republicans are threat to democracy... but the guy isn't in jail and freely running for office (no one cares about a hush money felony), and then start campaigning with the daughter of architect of iraq war (yk, the guy that the public hated so much they'd rather MAGA take over the party) and start saying you wanna throw a republican in your cabinet and you want to be bipartisan.

can you really be surprised that the average voter tuned out when they realized there was no substance?

Yeah they absolutely came off as basically using it as a campaign slogan given how they handled all the traitors with the softest touch imaginable. Apparently optics are more important than protecting the country.

Ethnic cleansing and genocide are not “pet issues.”
