    I remember people pissed at DNC in 2016 got us Trump the first time.

    Other people would blame Clinton’s campaign for refusing to move to the left to get more votes.

    They had a very “vote for me or fuck you” approach, much like OP’s meme.

    But when looking at exit polling, progressives showed up and voted D like we always do. Clinton lost by slim margins in a couple of important battleground states she mostly ignored.

    And I’m not saying all that to bring up old wounds, it’s because Hillary’s people became Bidens people who became Kamala’s.

    They’re still the ones making these policy decisions that are wildly unpopular.

    They shouldn’t be in charge still, but they are.
