The blame falls on people in power not delivering for the working class/poor. There is no better ally for the GOP than modern spineless Dems who center their politics around them. Every third party voter could have voted for Harris and she still would have lost.

I don't understand the "we were to small to matter" argument I've been seeing. If that's true, why on Earth would you expect to matter enough to move the Democratic platform, or to shape society after leftists "burn it all down" (whatever that means)?

The argument is based on third party people who voted. They aren't including the group of likely voters who didnt, mainly because thats not easy to calculate.

They can see how many registered democrats vs have voted but I'm not sure about the other parties, if people register for them the same way.

I guess I'm focused on the professed, not measured, group size.
