the brightest spot of the 2024 election is when it was just over, and there was this brief moment when the Dems couldn't talk because their mouths were full of the shit they just ate in front of God and everybody.

I guess they've chewed, swallowed, and are now looking for another bowl.

Democrats issue statement that they are not owned that they are not shrinking into corn cob

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, the fact that all the left-leaning policies you refuse to endorse, implement, or run on wildly outperformed your do-nothing right wing presidential candidate is definitely a good sign for you and an indication that you should change nothing. Fucking breathtaking levels of idiotic mental gymnastics.

Jaime Harrison deserves an award for his spin. Unbelievable.

Jaime Harrison, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, wrote a 2,600-word memo to party members last week that pointed to down-ballot triumphs and declared, “Democrats beat back global headwinds that could’ve turned this squeaker into a landslide.”

[...]

In his memo to D.N.C. members, Mr. Harrison boasted that Mr. Trump’s margin of victory in the popular vote ranked “44th out of 51 elections since 1824.” “This is the narrowest margin for a Republican since 1968, excluding the two times Republicans lost the popular vote and won the Electoral College,” Mr. Harrison wrote.

[...]

Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the House Democratic leader, wrote in a statement recently that his caucus had “defied political gravity,” a reference to the newly released “Wicked” movie that was soon echoed by Senator Amy Klobuchar, the Minnesota Democrat.

[...]

The Harris campaign talking points spend more time on the Trump campaign’s advertising attacking Ms. Harris on transgender issues than on any other topic. Eleven bullet points explain why the campaign did not go on the air with its own ad responding to Mr. Trump.

“Most voters found the ads troubling, particularly the idea that tax dollars are funding these surgeries,” the document states. “They were quick to say, however, that this was not the most important issue to them, impacted a small number of people and felt it was overblown and overly political.”

Then there are the sometimes tone-deaf solicitations for more money from Democratic donors.

A November email from the Harris campaign under the subject line “Good news and bad news” included the bad news — Mr. Trump won the election — and the good news: The recipient of the email had an opportunity to give $50 to “hold Trump accountable these next four years.”

[...]

Democrats without a direct relationship with the Harris campaign have been more likely to declare that the election results were a disaster.

The political equivalent of Team Rocket.

Barely relevant to the main guy, and best they can hope for is to be a minor annoyance and they’re such pathetic sadsacks that on the rare occasion they ARE a mild annoyance they bust out the fanfare.

And they occasionally do the right thing.

The only similarity is that they also spend unfathomable amounts of money in war machines and aim them at 10 year olds

i've been looking at the bluemaga subreddit dedicated to proving blompf stole the election, and i saw this post recently (https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingiswrong2024/comments/1hbxguh/house_dem_leader_jeffries_describes_downballot/) which is basically this dude saying "trump won the presidency in these states, but we still won house seats in these states, so we don't need to change course with the party". he's obviously saying "despite trump winning, no, democrats don't need to change their strategy, so nothing will change"

these liberals took it as him saying "how did trump win the presidential vote here but not all these other votes? it was stolen". not what he was saying at all.

Imagine still thinking this party could ever achieve anything. I know new cohorts of politically naive people come along every year, but even kids must not be being fooled by this anymore
