    “I only lost the election because people didn’t vote for me” is so something anyone who lost an election can say and technically be “right”.

          What I am saying is the Democrats were irrelevant. It didn’t matter who they ran. It didn’t matter what their policy was. Not being Trump should have been enough to win by a landslide if people weren’t too misinformed or apathetic.

            If you care about beating Trump, then whether the Democrats ran a campaign that could win is extremely relevant.

            Not being Trump should

            Ok, but it’s not.

              Ok, but it’s not.

              Agreed. That’s the interesting question to me. Why wasn’t it simply the decision between democracy and fascism?

              Did people not see it in that perspective? Or did they see it that way but still choose fascism? Does that mean people don’t believe in democracy anymore? Or are they so convinced by propaganda that fascism is the only way to save us from an imaginary threat?

              The reason matters because that determines what is needed to solve the problem.
