    2016 and 2024 weren't the same thing, though.

    Clinton, at least in my experience, turned a lot of her supporters and potential supporters off.

    Harris, I thought, ran an almost perfect campaign. But too many Americans were fixated on a change at president automatically bringing down everyday prices (Trump's probably going to drive them up), or too many that already had tuned her out before she even had a chance to sell them on her vision, or too many that were seduced by ... well, I don't know what about Trump is appealing at all, but apparently some people fall for it ... was enough to result in her defeat. And no one can say reasonably that Trump was an agent of change now; he had four years to be president and failed miserably.

    Well, I'm not as willing to excuse Trump voters as you are, clearly.

    If you choose to believe entertaining lies, that is the fault of the liar, and it's also your fault for being gullible.

    It's not the fault of someone else who wasn't entertaining enough to distract you from the lies.

    The people need to accept their civic responsibility.

    And if Democrats take that position then they'll keep losing.

    I hope they're smarter than that.

    Again, there's a difference between strategy and reality.

    I wouldn't advise Democrats to just give up because voters don't take voting seriously, but I would advise them to accept that reality and plan accordingly.

    What the right strategy is going forward, given that reality - that's obviously a matter of some debate.

    It appears to be the strategy at this point.

    Biden negotiating peace in the middle east. Peace talks would have continued under Kamala.

    Under Trump, Netanyahu will probably go to war again.

    He just negotiated peace between Iran and Israel. Now, Israel and Palestine can be focused on.

    Trump campaigns on the economy...prices are too high...people want him to fix it.

    Trump to put in place tariffs that will raise the prices of goods.

    GOP response...willing to pay more for food if Trump stops Fentanyl...which he probably won't from coming over the border...
