General Discussion

It would be different had she won. It was a tactical decision to employ Liz Cheney, war criminal, to try to broaden our coalition to include "disaffected republicans". That was dumb tactics because there were only 2 people that would vote for Harris due to Liz Cheney's endorsement: Liz and Dick Cheney.

Politics is about product. Had Harris won the Presidency, I wouldn't be questioning that tactic. I'd suck it up and say well, I guess the distasteful Cheney is part of our tent now. However, this didn't work. So we campaigned with a war criminal for no benefit.

Mamdani was called to a meeting at the White House and seems to have enchanted Trump into, at least, torpedoing Elise Stefanik's campaign.

I am amazed there is so much blind support for misguided, losing tactics because it allows people to avoid self-reflection.

There is a big difference between two people running for President and the President summoning a mayor.

Am I anti-establishment? Not particularly, but if the establishment can't win then I feel as though bellyaching about how bad Trump is, is just grief masturbation. Want to fight back? Win. Want to win? Don't campaign with war criminals.

Want to understand modern politics? The Republican party is not our friend.
