    Did you even read that I said I voted for all of them? I never withheld my vote, but they certainly didn’t earn it either.

    I’m not being holier than thou, I’m offering valuable feedback.

    From my perspective the pro biden kamala folks have been condescending as f u c k .

    If she wanted to demand votes she should have campaigned on a more attractive platform.

      I understand your feedback and I apologize for my tone. I just cannot get on board with the idea a more progressive campaign would have garnered any more votes. The proof is in the pudding. New progressive challengers failed at taking down any Democrat stalwarts in their primaries. Even worse, progressive incumbents struggled to hold on. It’s important to call out that these problems in races existed months before Harris even entered the scene.

      That is why I see the anger at Harris as misplaced. If more progressive policies were the true desire of voters, it would have shown in the primaries just like in 2018 and 2020. The winds were out of the sails.
