I'm angry at the entire Democratic Party, including Biden, for the finger pointing & criticizing of the Harris campaign. She should have done this & she shouldn't have done that & blah fucking blah. Then Biden came out & said he thought he would have won. OMG! He would have lost by more, IMO. I changed to unaffiliated that day. Sorry dems but she ran a practically flawless campaign & did it in 90 days. Who else has ever done that? I'll vote dem & give money & time to progressive issues, but the party needs to do something & stat! IDK what. That's above my pay grade, but maybe they could start by hiring a marketing company. Hell, if they paid one person to read DU every day they'd get a ton of good ideas.
