And wages might be growing, but are lagging far behind inflation.

To be very fair real wages grew during Biden's administration, but probably not enough and definitely not for everyone.

I mean to be fair it probably wasn't necessary until last Tuesday.

Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.

Amazing.

I mean he would love to be a front seat driver but the DNC won't let him.

someone was just tellin me that pamela lost because she did not stand behind lina khan enough.

I mean that's definitely part of it. Lina Khan was one of the best parts of the Biden administration, so if Harris won't even promise that then she wasn't just a status quo candidate; she was a status quo but worse candidate.

Trump won this fair and square, as much as it sucks to admit. I sincerely doubt there were enough stolen votes to matter anywhere; he just ran a competent campaign and Harris didn't.

Oh it's the Magic The Gathering woman. It was a pleasant time forgetting she existed.

That would have led to a landslide victory for the Dems.

Honestly, probably not really. It'd have likely led to a closer election by winning them Michigan, but the Democrats had a more fundamental problem than very unpopular foreign policy.

Lmao good catch.

The short of it is that "things are going fine" messaging doesn't work when things decidedly aren't going fine. When asked about the economy she said she wouldn't do much different from Biden. And yet she wouldn't even confirm or deny when asked whether she would keep Lina Khan. The DNC's messaging screamed "we're dishonest corporate stooges who won't give straight answers ", because they are and also incompetent. In the dismal state of the American economy today do you think that would get votes?

Our mistake was to think we lived in a better country than we do. Our mistake was to see the joy, the extraordinary balance between idealism and pragmatism, the energy, the generosity, the coalition-building of the Kamala Harris campaign and think that it must triumph over the politics of lies and resentment

Holy fuck the refusal to self-reflect. Was this guy even living in the same reality?

My bet is when the equal time law and similar bit the bullet. I think it was Reagan's era but my American history is pretty bad so don't quote me on it.
