    She would’ve been thoroughly mediocre, but that still would’ve been infinitely preferable to what we got.

      Nah, her policy positions were good. She was on the right side of every issue with a reasonable plan to target it. There is no other president in recent history who is as progressive.

      I find it werid that people will rate dems as if there is was a magical dem who would have been able to do everything.

        Harris was 100% on the wrong side of the Gaza genocide and also not even a little bit economically progressive. That second part – the abject refusal to do meaningful things to help the working class – is how she lost to Trump. People were seduced by Trump’s dishonest and wrong, but easy, “scapegoat the minorities” answers to the question of how to restore prosperity.
