With the dust is settling from their defeat on Tuesday, it’s becoming clearer that there was some incredible malpractice going on in the Democratic party. As shown in the tweet I linked, Biden delayed dropping out even though his team knew it was going to be a complete blowout for Trump. Then, we have Harris’s campaign spending over a billion dollars and still losing all of the swing states she needed to win.
For all the Democrats who would never vote Republican and would have never voted third party, are you now considering voting third party in future elections? If not, what would it take?
Right, but the premise of the question is that the Democrats are no longer viable at the Presidential level either.
In my lifetime, it’s been a 50/50 split, with 6 presidential terms to each party. I’m not sure how you can assert that either party is any more or less viable than the other.
They did really badly this time, repeating mistakes from previous campaigns. I’m not saying they can’t fix their problems, but it will be clear that they haven’t if the same people are running the next campaign and they keep trying to court Republicans.
Sure, maybe, I would argue that that’s pretty debatable, whether true or not. If that was the premise of your question though, you didn’t do a good job of making that clear.
