@KillbertArenas the fact that the establishment and the DNC blamed anyone but themselves for Trump winning in 2016 is a god damn shame.
Trump is one of the most unpopular candidates ever. I think Biden is gonna be okay tonight but I hope some lessons are learned about the campaign strategy of saying “I’m not as bad as Trump.” People want something to vote for! It’s a pandemic, and just trying to get people to vote against someone else (as bad as they are) does not resonate as much as giving them more to vote for.
Imagine if they had even attempted to push for to wildly popular policy ideas like Medicare For All or Covid Relief that put citizens ahead of corporations on the list.
This election would've already been over tonight!!!!!!!
I realize that might sound overly reductive, and I know I’m ignoring other factors, but Trump was beatable in 2016 and he’s beatable now. There’s no excuse (even in victory tonight) that it had to be this close.
And I don’t know what the answer is but it’s not my job to know, it’s on the DNC, and like you said, blaming minorities and other constituents wasn’t the appropriate move.
