I really wouldn't, even though it's not my fight.

Harris was not the answer before, it won't be now. If the Democrat party still hasn't reached the obvious conclusion why they lost to such a pitiful opponent as Trump, then America is truly doomed since the only choices are Dumb and Dumber. Or who's the lesser evil.

There's a reason why many people did not vote for either party, which ultimately gave Trump the needed edge to win.

Keep the word salads, empty buzzwords and lack of accountability, keep the flashy fanfare, the cheap insults, and the over-the-top celebrity endorsements, keep showing the people how big and wasteful your show is while they starve on food stamps, keep hiding Biden's mental state while he's in office, keep underestimating and mocking the other side instead of breaking the cycle and actually leading by example. No wonder Trump simply had to tell the people he'd lower prices and end suffering and people gobbled it up knowing it came from the orange nepo baby fraudster, because they were that much desperate.

Keep showing you're part of the problem and not the solution, and then wonder why people don't see an obvious choice as to who is better for them.

Trump is not planning on ending this 2nd mandate, that much is obvious. But if you can get him out by any means it may take, it won't be that long before another Trump eventually makes its way into power.

Show why you're better, don't limit yourself to tell people why the other side sucks. They already know that much, and they're desperate for something better beyond appearance.

And anyone blindly defending the democrats just because the republicans are worse this time, instead of expecting them to do better, are part of the problem just as much as MAGA.
