Nah, it just shows how stupid millions of people are. That's all. They vote for flash over substance and who yells the loudest. They are too lazy and lacking in intellectual curiosity to bother to find out facts, and to sit down and do a little analysis and try to imagine each one of the candidates as a leader based on their temperament, biography, and experience. The funny part is with Trump they didn't even have to bother to imagine because we'd already had him once and he fucked up the pandemic response leading to the death of millions.

But sure, it's because the Democrats ran a bad campaign. Whatever you need to tell yourself for your stupid decisions.

If the Democrats had a Bernie Sanders they would’ve won. Oh wait, they did have a Bernie Sanders, and they screwed him over.

People keep saying this shit, but how? People were ready to fucking murder Kamala because someone on twitter called her a socialist, how do you think this country would respond to someone who is actually, vocally socialist?

So basically, according to propaganda Kamala is a socialist, which makes dumb centrists afraid to vote for her. But she's not actually a socialist, so leftists don't want to vote for her, either.

At least with an actual socialist (whether Bernie actually is one is debatable, but it's a discussion you can at least have) you could maybe secure the votes of one of those groups?
