    I don’t believe the Democrats actually wanted to win this election.

    Losing, while upholding the facade of “fighting the Republicans,” means donations will likely go UP, their “underdog” status remains intact, and they won’t have to pretend to govern, nor offer the public the milquetoast accomplishments that only verify they capitulate to their oligarch/corporate backers. Losing IS their strategy.

      A Billion dollars in donations. Outspent the Republicans twice as much and yet spent on campaign managers and the salaries of their rich friends kids working for them and nice lunches out to expensive restaurants.

      They are the party of money. And saying whatever gets them more of it.

        No no friend, the Harris campaign had 1.5 Billion dollars.

        And the DNC just threw all their workers out on their asses without even offering severance, because they’re “broke?” People who had worked there for decades. THAT is their caliber of financial management?

        The Harris campaign threw wasted dollar after dollar into Republican pits to gain exactly NOTHING, as 94 fucking percent of Republicans voted Republican (as one would expect of a cult). Meanwhile the top Harris consultants were people making millions a year from Uber who flat out steered the boat away from any negative messaging about the corporate hands that pull their strings.

        They WANTED to lose. All the surface animosity is a facade; they’re controlled opposition.
