The problem is Dems are trying to put forth the idea that the last line above will pay for all the others and that just is not true...
I suspect it was more of a matter of them not seeing why they should get out and vote for the likes of John McCain or Mitt Romney. They saw a reason to vote for Trump. He was the raised middle finger at the people who had ruined their lives.
Yeh, well similarly I was off by a few years on Biden, to wit: I had a strong vision of this clown just self-destructing and being seen for what he is - or rather is not- and that he would not get the 2020 nom. Correct perception of the dynamics was okay, except you have to wait until 2024 for the general public to catch up. I have, never been able to form a vision of the Biden clown as a functioning president or candidate. But the dems love em dumb and slow, as we are still seeing with Harris so it takes longer for reality to set in. Going back to your reference to earlier posts, I stand by the idea that the Kamala ever being elected in an open dnc primary with true competitors is a non-starter. You have to go to a back-room deal for that. Which they did.
