18. Who are we supposed to blame?

Wed Nov 6, 2024, 07:42 PM

Nov 6

Sure we can blame the voters who voted for Trump and those who stayed home to an extent, but does that win us elections? Isn't it the sole purpose of the Democratic Party to figure out how to get voters motivated to vote for their candidates? I'm NOT blaming individual democratic voters. I'm blaming the institutional party itself. We were never going to get the MAGA cultists to abandon Trump, but the party clearly did something wrong.
