Democrats enabled Donald Trump to become president twice

I *knew* everything was the Democrats’ fault! Those lousy Democrats and their rich elitist ways.

Have you considered that there is enough blame to go around for both parties?

Do you think the DNC running unpopular candidates with the branding of "I'm not as bad as the new Hitler" was a good idea?

I reject the premise. Harris was a good candidate.

That said, in a binary system between Hitler / Not Hitler, that should have been enough. Do you think not voting for Harris because she didn't give everyone a pony was a good idea?

History has categorically shown that Harris was not a good candidate.
