All true Tom. And mostly Kamala was a poor candidate. And the country had had enough of the left’s governing. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: One significant development the left is now facing is the blame game. Opinions are heating up, getting intense, Debating the Harris election failure. Can we call it a potential meltdown? Headlines: The Hill Democrats play blame game after devastating Harris loss Click Here Newsweek --Knives Out for Kamala Harris as Democratic Blame Game Begins Click Here Time -- The Democrats' Blame Game Begins Click Here Axios --Democrats start clawing each other's eyes out Click Here Sky News --The Democratic Party blame game has already begun after Kamala Harris's loss Click Here Some of the comments: < Critics of Harris found fault with her lack of leadership, indicating she was not really in control. And there were doubts that either Hakeem Jeffries nor Chuck Schumer would fulfill that role, for future leadership of the Dems. < There were gripes about how Harris’s economic message largely fell flat. Seemed too brief, with little or no elaboration. < One critic said: ""The campaign miscalculated the importance of the economy as a central message." < There was some second-guessing on Harris’s pick for running mate of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who one critic said “ultimately offered next to nothing.” < Bernie Sanders made scathing statements saying the Democratic Party "abandoned" the working class, and Harris understated the problems of high prices and the poor economy. "Will the big-money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lesson from this disastrous campaign? ... Probably not," Sanders said. < Many reports blamed Biden, for clinging too long before stepping down. Also for Biden's gaffs, comments that played into Trump's hands. Non-helpful remarks were also made by Bill Clinton. < Critics also suggested Harris failed to distance herself enough from Biden and she needed to offer more details outlining a change of direction for the country. One democrat said: "It was necessary for the Democratic nominee [Kamala] to separate herself from an unpopular incumbent, as much as we love Joe Biden." < There's uncertainty how the Dems should now react to Trump. Should Dems literally attack everything he plans & proposes? Or should the party "pick and choose the battles" to help get past the idea the public calls-- 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'." Despite the critics, supporters of Harris defended her campaign. Here's some of those comments. < "You could not have run a better campaign in that short period of time," < ""I don't think she could have done anything differently," one said, "she ran a good campaign," Seems there's plenty of divergent views among the Dems, plenty of differences they will need to be resolved. Seems likely the Dems need greater attention to resolving their internal problems and conflicts, than worrying too much about two Colorado members of the House who successfully got elected. Bigger issues are heating up and need addressing. Meltdown is the actual topic of this thread. Enough about Boebert. |
