You make some good points, but in the end, exit polling doesn’t reveal the amount of racial bias, homophobia, and misogyny baked into the electorate. Their mango messiah promised them their anti-liberal dreams would be realized. Combine that with a lot of ignorance about how the economy works, and you have the results we’ve seen.

Daughter of Holocaust victims here. The oligarchy and autocracy has taken over. We live amongst the ignorant and the hateful. You said nothing about black, brown, or white girls & women dying because of rape or pregnancies. You said nothing about Putin interfering with our democracy. You said nothing about Ukraine not getting US help. You said nothing about how veterans will lose their monetary benefits, that old folks like me, will lose Medicare and Social Security.

I thought Kamala and Tim were brilliant. Yes, the Dems have always had shitty messaging but they didn’t. So stop pointing fingers. We are fucking doomed.
