45. Exactly--I think we're pointing fingers at the wrong person (people)

The GOP managed to get a complete idiot like Trump re-elected, even after some far more disastrous appearances than the Joe Biden's performance at the debate. Like standing on stage for 30 minutes dancing to Ava Maria (twice), then YMCA, swaying bizarrely and not saying a word for 30 minutes. Imagine if Joe Biden had done that?

But the GOP got him elected, and the Democrats couldn't get a far more qualified candidate elected.

If debates were so important, then why didn't Kamala win after she creamed Trump at their debate?

I'll tell you why: the Democrats' circular firing squad. Same circular firing squad that lost us a Senate seat (Senator Al Franken), helped lose the 2016 election (infighting over Bernie versus Hillary), and lost the 2024 election.

I will always be a Democrat, and I don't mean my post to seem like I'm "bashing" Democrats as a whole. But, come on, the Democrats have a long history of shooting themselves in the foot. I hope someone steps up and changes that.
