      Yes, and I will reiterate: it’s a weak argument. This supported by the fact that it failed to convince enough people for her to win.

      Democrats need stronger arguments if they actually want to win (assuming we have elections in the future).

        It’s reality. It sucks, but it’s the options we were given. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a weak argument. People like you didn’t vote because you didn’t get your perfect politician that checked every box for you, and here we are with fascist toddlers back in the white house, destroying as much as they can. Congratulations. I’m sure the neoliberals really learned their lesson this time.

          [Ignoring your ignorant and presumptive vitriol.]

          If she had been a better candidate with better arguments she would have earned enough votes to win. No one is owed votes.

          Chicken or egg? Who’s to blame? Voters for not voting for your preferred candidate? Or your candidate for not appealing to the right voters? How did the strategy of winning over “centrist Republicans” work out? Oh it just further alienated actual progressives? Weird, why might that be?

          I’m sure the neoliberals really learned their lesson this time.

          You’d better hope they did if you want Democrats to ever win again.
