No, DNC picking a bad candidate should be responsible for a D electoral loss, it is not responsible for Trump's electoral win. A lot of people seem to think only the DNC has agency in elections, only they should be responsible for outcomes.
replyYou can blame the DNC for all the badness of Harris (the minimum badness you were able to choose in the election). You can't blame the DNC for all the difference between Kamala and Trump. That was entirely up to you.
replyNo. You had a choice. I voted for Harris (who I do not like as a progressive) instead of chaos and destruction, others had the same choice. To not vote out of protest was a vote for this.
replyBetter luck next time. ~2M voters 55+ age out every year. Can we do better? Remains to be seen.

reply1/3 are D and voted Harris
reply1/3 are R and voted Trump
1/3 are I and voted their wallet
handwavy, but not inaccurate
If you’re voting for your wallet, I don’t take offense, simply vote for someone with a plan grounded in reality, and at least some history of success. This is not what has happened.

replyI voted for Bernie in the primary, for Hilary; Biden; and Harris in the general elections. At no point did I think to myself "Now is the time to be an idealist about the DNC, right when we're combating fascism"
replyThe DNC is an embarrassment, the two party system is a democratic disaster, but accelerationists? They're evil.
