Yeah, with those margins fine tuning Biden or Harris's policy proposals would not have been enough. Which I think is Bernie's point: we need something like Medicare for all or a detailed Gaza peace plan to excite the base and the non-xenophobic voters

I guess now is an appropriate time to stop empathizing with people who empathize with the victims.
Oooph, that tracts with a lot of tech companies you hear about. It does fit a pattern of spending so much time courting a base that has proven to be very misogynistic.
Are you a Christian? Because this is how they act when their love is conditioned on agreeing with them.
Jesus Christ people, you're talking about a genocide.
If Genocide wasn't on the ballot than how can you accuse anyone of supporting a genocide by the way they voted?
Political parties don't learn, they respond to power.
They failed to predict voter sentiment so obviously they're right about the voters being at fault.
I don't think we were financing loans with GPUs as collateral back in 2012 or 2016: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/11/04/silicon-valley-and-wall-street-invent-collateralized-gpu-obligations-surely-this-will-work-out-fine/
Big difference between this and 2016 is JD Vance is the adult, not Mike Pence. His ties to Peter Thiel is scary. Also we just had a billionaire buy votes, no way that is going to stop now.
Markets are cyclic and we're overdue for the AI bubble to pop. But I don't think that automatically means the Democrats can win another presidential election or win the Senate.
I get the feeling we need to be doing the work the Democrats refused to do: creating a political mandate. Protesting is part of creating that mandate, but one thing I would like to see is the inverse of the "ground game" l; where instead of going door to door to convince people of a solution, you get them involved in the decision process.
