    Harris and Biden aren’t even neoliberal lol. The message was also not clear because the margins of victory were small. We know Trump is going to tank the economy like last time. It’s a fact. All of his idiot supporters will keep claiming some sort of perceived benefit because of all the other horrible shit he’s going to do that don’t affect in the positive whatsoever, but they will PERCEIVE a win.

      Yes, but remember: Their opponent was Trump. They should’ve cinched this election.

        I guess it doesn’t matter at this point but it’s always weird to me that opponents can’t seem to acknowledge that Trump is a formidable political opponent. He’s good at talking to and engaging some groups of Americans which is why he managed to win twice.

          That’s the thing: It’s some groups. Trump has extreme political appeal with people who will reliably show up to vote for him, but to everyone else he’s a boogyman who motivates them to vote against him. Because of that he gives his opponent enough of an advantage to counteract the effect he has on his voters, but an incompetent candidate who can’t make good use of that advantage (which isn’t accomplished by yelling “I’m not him” all the time) will get unceremoniously steamrolled. It just happens to be that the DNC is hilariously incompetent.
