Lots of discussion on The Hellsite about the new Adam Jentleson piece blaming Harris's loss on progressive groups. In case anyone is interested, here's the response I offered

1. One goal of Putin/Trump/GOP stealing elections is to destroy US liberals.

To keep moving the country right.
Ripe for a dictatorship.

2. They keep trying to blame a group

It was the young white boys, the white women, the Latino men, the….

In my brain it was
Mcturtle and the GOP
Mcturtle pushing the you can’t put a Supreme Court justice in Obama in an election year,
Then rush push blondie in a shorter time frame,
Then the first impeachment
“ I think he learned his lesson,
Then the second impeach for presidents he’s no longer president
Then The media
Helping to push their lies and Biden a to old etc

Social media allowing false shit to be put up and not address it as so

The Doj not moving faster and holding him accountable

If he had been impeached he would not have been allowed to run.

I hope those who are involved in this disaster
Of him trying to turn our country into something it was never meant to be

Suffer greatly in the pits of hell.

3. In the 21st century, "platforms" mean nothing

Trump says he will end both wars the first day, and that is good enough for millions of people. Throughout the entire campaign, nobody ever asked Trump HOW he would do that. The answer, obviously, is total capitulation and that has all sorts of other consequences, putting Putin in charge, and Trump was never asked about any of that. Not once.

In today's, world, politics is not about "politics". It is about emotion. Harris campaigned on issues that had a strong emotional connection with 10-20% of the population. The rest of us had to intellectualize to connect with the issues. That's not a good play.

Trump campaigned on issues that he was able to connect emotionally with 75 million people.

5. Always

The Left, Progressives, dissidents, blue collar people, non-whites, woman and the voters always get blamed for everything. Rich white people in positions of power? Not so much.
