That's a convenient fiction you've concocted to silence valid criticism.
81,283,501 voted for Biden.
75,017,613 voted for Harris.
What is your explanation for why 6 million extra people stayed home? Because my explanation is that 6 million people were dissuaded by negative attitude towards Democrats in general. But I'm happy to change my opinion if there's some good reasoning behind another explanation.
The explanation is that Biden was a terrible president, who fucked over the people that voted for him. The Democrats dissolusioned voters by telling them to ignore their eyes, and continue supporting someone who was clearly in severe cognitive decline. Harris was an uncharasmatic shell of a human, who said that she was going to continue highly unpopular polices, and gave no criticism of a highly unpopular president.
Maybe the "...negative attitude towards Democrats in general", is justified. It's always amazing to me that Democrats think they have a Perception Problem, when they actually have a Reality Problem.
Clearly the only option is for all critics to shut up forever and pretend to love the genocide. Because that's what you're insisting on. AND NOTHING ELSE. The party will only get worse and that's the way you like it.
lol no you're not.
There is no advocacy for the party ever stopping getting worse that you won't immediately shout down as helping republicans. You like what the party is doing.
So no idea then?
