I mean, the Democrats just ran a historically bad campaign. No primary, consistently bad polling, a candidate with one foot in the grave swapped out at the very last minuet for a VP who didn't even survive Super Tuesday back in 2020.

That nearly a year later we keep rehashing the efficacy of "Vote Blue No Matter" lesser-evil strategic voting, kinda doesn't bode well, does it? That even those of us plugged in and paying attention feel like the party isn't gonna learn any lessons, so we better start preemptively defending their future fuck ups. You think the broader public of disinterested yankees is really gonna rally behind that?
