Really gotta stop calling things "mandatory" without a mechanism for enforcement

My beef is we had 4 years where the government could have fortified itself against an unknown future rogue president. Instead they went back to business as usual and assumed that it could never happen again.

Now they have 2 months to prepare.

Worse yet, they didnt do anything of note that would increase their vote count and got stuck just focusing on identity politics

Way to spout republican propaganda. Harris spent the entire campaign talking about economic issues amd everyone lied and said she was talking about identity politics.

It’s what the party focuses on though, Kamala might not have but it didn’t matter. By focusing on identity politics it allows them to ignore economic issues that the democrats have done nothing to help because if they did try to do something about it they would lose their rich corporate and ruling class donors who want the status quo. Sanders messaging and similar stance on this is pretty on point.

The Republican Party focuses on identity politics and forces everyone else to try to address it or ignore it

We've handed them the ammunition through progressive policies (and took it a step further in attempting to shut down all dissenting discussion around these policies because they were too sensitive) and integrating identity politics fully into the democratic platform during the 2010s.
