I mean look up Obama's presidential campaign. He flipped red states and won blue states by running on a progressive anti status quo platform, and in doing so wiped the floor with the Republican candidate.

Uh... Harris's goal wasn't to convince voters she was better than Trump. That much was obvious, and also not nearly enough to win her the election.

but what could she have done better?

She could've ran policies popular with her base instead of ignoring it and cozying up to Republicans. She could've made real campaign promises instead of just repeating "I'm not Trump" ad infinitum. She could've, you know, actually campaigned instead of repeating the mistakes of 2016.

How is it not a crushing victory? Trump won the popular vote and either won or is leading in all swing states. He fucking wiped the floor with the DNC.

It's probably not even boomers anymore. This community, full of everything from hardcore progressives to literal communists, has gone feral defending Harris's disaster of a campaign. You couldn't, and still can't, call the DNC out for running a horrible candidate with a horrible (nonexistent) platform without being called a troll or a Russian bot. The new generation fell for the two party system hook, line and sinker.

Huh? Obama won by getting leftist votes so that clearly isn't true.

Literally nobody said that.

Uh... Harris wasn't good. Harris was fucking shit. Perfect will always be the enemy of fucking shit.

They fucked it up immediately by saying they weren't going to be any different from Gaza on Biden and that was one of the wedge topics that had been created about Biden.

I don't think Gaza specifically was decisive here. It could've been with a thinner majority, but Harris lost before Michigan finished counting and Trump is collecting swing states like MTG cards. The way I see it, this isn't the result of one unpopular policy, but rather a wider campaign failure that destroyed Democrat voter enthusiasm.

You try to tell them that and they go nuts on you.
