This has to be the hardest I have ever seen the Dems fumble the bag, including 2016 (hexbear.net)

I mean jesus christ there was a slight dip in turnout for the MAGA people but 15 million dropped off the face of the planet for the Dems from 2020. That's gotta be fucking historic. I do hope this will be a radicalising moment for a lot of well-intentioned liberals.

They fumbled 4 states that Biden flipped, and Trump came pretty fucking close to flipping NY. If this doesn't awaken people to the political dead end that is the Democratic party I don't know what will.

Course-correcting on a few key issues might have been enough to net the couple hundred thousand votes necessary to eke out an EC victory, but instead she told potential supporters to shut up ("I'm speaking!") while pursuing endorsements from Liz and Dick fucking Cheney. Hoe-lee shit.
