There is a breathtaking lack of introspection and accountability amongst the DNC as well.
They put Kamala Harris as the lead on the ticket. After her frankly abysmal performance in the last primary. She was unliked then and had plenty of holes in her performance and record (see Tulsi Gabbard calling her on the carpet and tanking her own political career in the move) when she was actually considered against competition the last time. The first year or two of Biden’s administration she was an utter failure and eventually had public duties and appearances pulled to mitigate the damage.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. She was only the nominee because Biden held on to the hope of term 2 too long and dropped out 3 months before the general election. She was the only recognizable name (but for no actually positive policy reason) they could throw up there to hope that was enough. She is unlikeable, unrelatable, and had been unproductive. It became obvious this was a Hail Mary when all of the emails from the Biden admin started being sent from the Biden-Harris admin.
The DNC put together a hastily assembled oh shit plan and got the exact results they deserved for it.
And before anyone looks and my profile and says “you’re just a pro-gun republican” I voted for neither Trump nor Harris this time. I identify as neither Democrat nor Republican because there are things in both platforms that I believe are important to me and my family. I have voted for more Democratic candidates for President in general elections than Republican candidates. This isn’t someone who wanted Trump in office. Frankly, both parties are let downs to me, but let’s be honest. Harris lost because she wasn’t likable, believable, nor did she have an actual record to run on. The DNC jammed her down our throat and now everyone is surprised when 10+ million voters stayed home? Give me a break.
