There seems to be a concerted effort to tell tall tales about how popular Donald is. Almost as if the people doing it are worried that buyer's remorse is going to kick in as soon as non-extremist voters realize what they've actually voted for.
Given how odd he is, and how much he's not "taking things seriously", isn't all that popular, aligns himself with goofy people... etc etc...
This must be particularly embarrassing and quite puzzling for the political entity that lost to him 2 out of the last 3 elections despite spending almost twice the amount of money.
It's pretty obvious this is in no way the fault of the DNC.
They did everything right and ran a precision, laser-focused, perfect campaign.
They got on-board with everything that's super popular and universally-liked among the American electorate, from things that everyone loves like gender transition services for minors and males in women's locker rooms, to allowing unchecked immigration, to emotionally manipulating people on the topic of abortion, to decriminalizing things like shoplifting and open-air drug use at playgrounds, to escalating conflicts with a nuclear power, to proposing artificial price capping despite all of the economists from both wings saying it's a bad idea...
And Harris even handled tough questions perfectly... for instance, when an interviewer asks, "given that these are things that Americans say they're frustrated about, what would you do differently than your boss", she basically put on a master class in politics when she replied with "not a thing comes to mind".
Given that Democrats can't be to blame, as I've been educated and enlightened on these forums, and now realize the prior errors of my ways and now know that Republicans are the worst, they're so much worse than the Democrats...so much so, that any critique (which there really isn't any room for, because as I mentioned above, they did everything so close to perfect, no matter how minor), is just "both sides'ing", so the only thing we should ever do is keep the exclusive focus on criticizing Republicans, because not only are they worse than the democrats, they're also worse than the democrats...not to mention the fact that they're also worse than the democrats.
I'm left scratching my head because for the life of me, I can't figure out why they lost. I haven't seen a better effort since that nailbiter, barnburner of a campaign that Michael Dukakis put on in 1988.
