    The Democrats abandoned their base today. Harris did not intend to turn out for the party at her own College. Key members began to leave before the final numbers were called. No speech. No words of comfort or support for the 50-ish percent of voters that tried to push back against fascism.

    It really feels like Harris was only speaking for the people as long as she was winning, and when the tide turned she fucked off. It supports the narrative of ‘vote for me or else’.

    This does not build trust in the party, and if the world ever sees another US presidential election, I hope people remember how they have been treated.

      This is exactly what I’ve been saying. Both parties are complete dogshit, but some of the democrats on this platform are too blinded by their hatred for Trump to see it. Harris was just the lesser evil, but under no circumstances was America ever going to push past its problems
