    The mental disconnect American liberals have with reality is staggering. Clinton and Harris did not lose the elections to Trump because they were women. They lost because they were unlikeable corporatist democrats that enabled genocide and supported the American oligarchy over the American people, and that was obvious to everyone with a brain.

      They act like biden won with a decisive majority that gave centrism a mandate instead of barely squeaking in. It took days to be certain. That was far too close and democrats acted like everything was fine and that they could easily beat trump and still move to the right like they wanted.

      The same things can be said about Biden and Obama, at least as far as where they are on the spectrum.
