Americans wanted change so they didn't want establishment politicians. When this usually happens the far-right and far-left come into view and typically what happens is that the far-right get first dibs because they always promise the impossible so their proposals are at first glance more attractive to the electorate. In the case of this election, the Democrats didn't even allow the progressives to contest the election so there wasn't really a choice at all.

- fritzorino 9mo agoOh look it's that pathetic thing that some Americans do where they blame the Democrats for Trump being in power.

The 'pissed off the left wing' thing is a bit of an issue. The Dems really need to return to representing the average american, not the extra woke. Democracy means rule of the people, not rule of the far left.
- cherry_tree 9mo agoLiberal and left are not synonyms.
- r_lee 9mo agoNo she wasn't. She wasn't a good speaker, not charismatic, no clear policy or opinions on things, just overall no. Why is it so hard to admit? Nobody really liked her except for the fact that she ran against Trump...
- scarecrowbob 9mo agoMaybe I'd feel worse for thinking that the party failed if they had, like, let me at least vote in a primary...
