    The party itself expects to just be the status quo and have people vote for it.

    When the alternative was Trump and Project 2025, that’s exactly what most should have voted for.

    But stopping DEI was more important than Social Security for the majority of voters

      Peope can’t afford their bills and the Democrats were out there saying the economy is stronger than ever. They had no intention of helping people and you are shocked that people didn’t go out to vote. If it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t, most people will chose the latter

        They should at least have voted third party… I think many people should have voted third party… Why do so few people vote third party?

          If they are too apathetic to vote for dems, they certainly won’t go out of their way to make a statement and vote third party.

          Only an absolute moron would believe that the economy was better in 2024 than in 2019 for your average person. You can’t blame the poor economy on Biden, but you can absolutely blame the DNC for not spputing off reforms to help people.

            You are one of those who forgot how bad it was. So many millions were in danger of eviction that moratoriums had to be passed.

              Exactly. Moratoriums were passed. Absolutely nothing was done the past 2 years as prices for everything skyrocketed. People remember that sort of thing. Literally the forst thing Biden did was break his promise and give out stimulus checks that were nowhere near what he campaigned on.

                The economy recovered such that people were able to pay their rent despite the increases. Moratoriums ended yet mass evictions didn’t happen. People were doing far better than under Trump.

                  People are paying their rent and buying groceries at the expense of everything else in their lives. You have your head buried in the sand if you actually believe people are better off than they were in 2019. Thats what voters remember, that’s why Harris lost. The last thing people who are struggling want to hear is that “inflation is going down. The economy is fine” when they can’t afford their necessities any more.

                    You have completely forgot that under Trump people couldn’t even pay their rent and groceries. It wasn’t “at the expense of everything else.” It was not even being able to pay rent much less anything else. It went to “I’ll be dead on the streets in a few months under Trump.” to “I can pay for rent and groceries but can’t save anything under Biden so Biden is worse.”
