It's relevant to why it didn't matter.

I'm not comparing Biden to Trump. That is just too easy and kind of masturbatory. Yes, I agree Biden was better than Trump, and Harris would be too. The world is more complicated than "red bad, blue good". The important question is, when Trump is worse, why is he president?
Democrats can continue to be better than Republicans in every way, and it won't matter. Republicans have a narrative and Democrats don't. That is the point that matters.
I knew with absolute certainty that Biden would be a one term president and be replaced by a far worse fascist. I didn't know it would be Trump v2, and I didn't know Biden would far exceed expectations, but I knew he wasn't what we needed to turn off that path.
Democrats can't keep repeating the same mistakes and getting surprised by the results.
As always, most of their effort will be used to try and stifle progressives.
So, he's mad at Trump for doing exactly what he was campaigning on when Rogan endorsed him?
Meh. The only possible reason to keep accumulating after a billion is for respect and power. I'm pretty sure Elon has fucked up both to the point where most of his money gets him nothing. I'm pretty sure he is headed to a "death of despair" type ending before long.

I'll do it. After all, I can't possibly fuck it up worse than the last guy.
Democrats can start winning whenever they choose. They just choose wealthy donors over messaging that would win elections. Bots would be irrelevant.
I didn't predict it yet.. it somehow feels like I should have.
It's just a common rhetorical tool used by fascists. If people don't know when you are telling the truth and when you are "joking" you can say whatever you want and then judge public reaction before deciding whether or not to own what you said.
Joe Biden was the Senator most responsible for making those loans undismissible. There is plenty of blame to go around.
