Why Democrats Lost—Dems Don't Deliver
  • I think you're misunderstanding why the Dems lost. "The left" that you're referring to doesn't exist in the way you're imagining it. Kamala didn't win enough swing voters. Swing voters don't view themselves as leftist or rightist. Swing voters (apparently) vote based on their feelings.

  • Why Democrats Lost—Dems Don't Deliver
  • If the voters felt that the Dems delivered, they would have been there to elect Kamala. Dems rarely ever deliver for their base—the everyday working person. OTOH, Republicans will go scorched Earth to enact their agenda.

    People desperately want change and unfortunately the pace of change from the Dems is not good enough.

    Opinion: Trump wins 2024 election. America needs to admit it's not 'better than this.'
  • Running as Republican-lite and courting the neocons will just serve to validate right-wing ideologies and strengthen the vote for the real Republican candidate. Harris needed to lean into the Walz platform, but her consultants clearly failed (sabotaged?) her. Add to this the fact that Americans grown to hate standard politicians—at least for president—and it's clear this was Trump's election to lose.

  • Honda to end production of mini bikes amid stricter emissions rules
  • Zero emissions needs to be the future, but getting more people out of cars and onto bikes is a good step. Moving thousands of pounds of metal for the sake of a couple hundred-pound meat sacks is just illogical.

  • Obama, in blunt terms, tells Black men to get over their reluctance to support Harris
  • I mean, downvote all you want but they're right. No one picked Harris except for Joe Biden. The primary was half assed at best, and there was no democratic process to select the Democratic party nominee. You're insane if you don't think that Biden's dementia wouldn't have surface during an actual primary process. We could have easily avoided this Trump apocalypse if the Democratic establishment let us have a real primary.
