I have my grievances with the Democratic party, but I can also walk and chew gum at the same time.
I can be pissed off with how THEY have conducted themselves and also be appalled by the current march towards authorism and fascism this current administration his taking us into. NO WHERE did I say that I didn't prefer Biden - as feeble and as mentally incapacitated as he was - over Trump. And, yes, ABSOLUTELY they put us on the right track after 4 painful years of Trump and a worldwide pandemic. It was impressive to see what they were able to get done with the slimmest of majorities in Congress and we're better off because he was able to defeat Trump and bring a semblance of normalcy back to politics and society.
But, guys, come on. An entirely winnable election was completely botched because Dems were flat out LYING about his mental and physical state when they should've been speaking up publicly and privately about Biden serving another term. I am not about to blame 'the people' when the ONLY viable option to the insanity that is the republican party are the dems who should've been ringing a fucking five alarm fire when they saw the writing on the wall with Trump crushing Biden in a general election. But they didn't. They kept saying 'oh it's fine, we're fine, he's fine'. Then you had Biden saying in the most arrogant way he could that he was THE ONLY person that could beat Trump when in all actuality, almost anyone else BUT Biden - or Kamala - probably could've taken him down. Kamala crashed and burned in 2020 before the votes were cast and Joe himself didn't even want her as VP - plenty of reports show that his heart was with Gretchen Whitmer, who would've been a far better choice.
So, yes, because of the CHOICES Democrats made over the last decade or so is PART of the reason we're in the mess. The party needs new ideas, new leadership, a different way to communicate because whatever it is they're doing is obviously not working when it comes to fighting these people.
