If this is how he felt the last year, he's just as culpable as all of the other fucks who stayed home and didn't vote. Fuck him and his Monday morning quarterbacking.
Bernie is a bastard, but I think it's backwards thinking to blame voters rather than candidates. In a nominal democracy, it's the job of the candidates to appeal to people to get votes. If there is any merit to this idea, we must conclude that the failure was the Harris campaign for not generating the confidence needed to vote for her -- which is a very expected outcome when you're running as reactionary a campaign as she did, calling the wall a "good idea" and so on.
Yep. From a systems analyst perspective, if there's a problem with a couple people, it's because they're idiots. If a lot of people are having a problem, it's a systems issue. In this case, the DNC and their shit messaging.
It's like they hired an intern to do their marketing. They had a few funny clap backs on socials but they didn't actually pivot to appeal to their target demographics. Fucking marketing 101.
