Well, last November, at a polling site near them, would have been a good time to express that.

Well, they did. Surely Führer Trump will fix healthcare, right? Right?

Maybe it should have been on the ballot, then. harris didn't run on expanding healthcare. She ran on being a continuation of biden, who promised to revisit the public option and then didn't.

The last third aren’t necessarily ok with the healthcare situation, it’s just not their top concern. Some of them might be most concerned about being sent to a concentration camp or losing their job (which would affect their ability to afford health care plus a bunch of other stuff).

Hmm, if only Americans were capable of joining the dots between the issues they care about and the politicians they vote for.

Indeed, but instead we get someone who will take a torch to it. One vote was for someone who would make things worse more slowly and the other was for someone who would make things very bad very quickly. We decided to go quickly.

People hate being railroaded. "We're going to make things worse more slowly than this other guy and we're your best viable choice. If that upsets you in any way, we're going to blame you when we lose." Is shitty messaging that appeals only to shitty people.

I agree completely, the Democrats losing is entirely their fault. They’ve been unappealing for years so they can chase those corporate bribes. But if you listen to them it’s never their fault. I voted for them, but I didn’t like it.
