So Biden both kept running when he should have stepped down early, and also finally threw it to Harris out of spite. Well he then gave us Trump and ruined his legacy. Can this finally be a wake up call for the Democratic Party? I sure hope so. Let’s line up some great candidates for the fight in 2026 and 2028.

I tend to agree with that. If Pelosi wanted Harris she would not have talked about caucuses and an open primary or convention. And I had that from more than one source. In my opinion Newsom or Whitmer would have been a stronger candidate.

Biden has turned into disaster and those like Obama who interverned and rigged primary in 20 for biden against Bernie have lot to answer for.

primary reasons dems lost was biden's unpopulary,harris saying she had no disagreements with him kiss of death,and high costs of things while dems telling people economy is great. add to this Harris and dems embrace of israel and saying f you to palestines and Harris embrace of cheneys and other never trump republicans hurt dems with voters they needed their base.

I agree with all that. They should have never done what they did to Bernie.

Plus endlessly pouring money into Ukraine to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian with zero negotiations. It wasn't a good look that he gave is son (who was more directly tied to Ukraine) a sweeping pardon effective burying the big guy's tracks in that sordid affair.

Same. Liberals have been programmed by the media to see Putin as an ultimate evil that cannot be reasoned with. Convenient enemy for forever war.

I expect some corruption in politics, but I think Biden is concerned Trump will dig into Burisma/Ukraine and expose the push to crush the Donbas rebellion, which they knew Russia would never allow.

Interesting overview. I'm still not convinced Kamala lost, despite having only 104 days to run. According to Stephen Spoonamore on Substack, 3-7% of the voters only voted for Trump and Vance in the swing states and nobody else, while that anomaly did not occur in the other 43 states. But I agree, she should have forgone the celebs and had coffee with the left behinds.
