You mean that they can just blame her loss on racism and ignore the giant pink haired elephant in the room?

exactly. Why really look at their own weaknesses if there's a ready scapegoat to deflect from genuine growth and accountability. Let me be clear the GOP failed to do the same, and they got away with it because the left are batshit crazy. It's even entirely possible, given where we are in the cycle and Trump's anti- growth policies that the Dems might end up winning the next one because Republicans make a mess of things (in fact I think this is quite likely given the level of hubris). But we know that these progressive ideas are a dead end...

Yeah it’s going to be interesting. They had a gilt edge opportunity to reach out to conservatives and present a Biden presidency for all Americans, and they choose instead to double down on brainless fads, dangerous ideological fashions - and lunacy. Insurgency under the guise of “compassion” and “activism.”

It was really a moment wasted, and they deservedly got their balls kicked in the election…

ironically this is Kamala Harris's fault. If she wasn't such a poor candidate it would be clear to these progressives that voters don't want this. But in her they have an alternative case for why these insane policies are vote killers.

Who TF are you kidding? This has nothing to do w/ a person's qualifying candidacy or Hillary would have won the Presidency back in 2016! No one was or has been more qualified; & a conservative to boot? The patriarchal system won't allow women to really run things which is just as well! If they think Trump can do a better job than 2 other women, we see where their collective heads are; "up their arses!" Women help sabotage themselves all the time or they'd have more representation in Congress! We just have an over-abundance of a-#ole, idiots, bigots, & misogynist pigs in this country; men & women alike! Women determine elections these days so it's on them when they're undermined, taken for granted, & made to observe laws written by men for men! Trump has done such a great job of having his supporters turn on him; even the hardcore Maga-flag wavers are griping in the MSM! They are PO'd as his promises fall by the wayside, but since I skip the news, I couldn't GAF either way!
