    Wasn’t the uncommitted movement some 100,000 people strong?

    Didn’t Harris lose by millions?

    How would have the uncommitteds saved the election if their numbers represented a fraction of what Democrats needed?

    Could a more likely explanation of this deplorable outcome be that Democrats did this to themselves by not rallying up their base enough to bring more people out to vote?

    Stop blaming the American people.

      They would have been enough to secure the swing states and win Harris the electorial college. Her campaign would have need to promote more progressive policies that addresses the material needs of Americans, instead of running to the right on issues, in order to also pick up the popular vote.

      Stop blaming the American people

      100% It’s entirely on the campaign to secure votes. That’s the entire job of the campaign. Blaming voters is an easy scapegoat that accomplishes nothing. And when it’s blaming marginalized groups, it seems like it’s only promoting hate against the people most vulnerable to the violence of fascism
