A over third of eligible voters did not vote.

The couch was a more viable competitor than either candidate.

There was more than could have been done to represent voters' interests.

However fault is not binary. There's plenty of people and even events that take some portion of the blame.

A decent "party" would dispel "ignorance" rather than thriving on it.

That's completely within the bounds of reason.

  1. People are busy with more important things than social media, YouTube’s, podcasts, and news.

  2. People will vote with their communities to retain membership: MAGA, church, the family unit (sometimes).

  3. it’s not uncommon for 60% of people not to vote.

  4. Kamala didn’t distance herself from Biden. “They’re isn’t anything that comes to mind” was a coffin nail.

  5. DEMs don’t sell it well. The story told has to be big enough and potent enough to pull in 1, 2, & 3.

  6. What is the point of beating this dead horse? It solves nothing.

This is great. Needs a dash of misogyny though.
