    They voted for the elephant in the china shop. Little did they realize that they were the china.

    Ignoring the historic voter turnout to elect Biden who ran as the one to beat trump. Then he did little beyond keeping his seat warm for 4 years, and the dnc did nothing to follow up on the election fraud allegations in 2024, instead simply handing the country back to trump.

      Biden did some good but the pull out from Afghanistan (which Trump negotiated) soured the public on him early on and he never recovered.

      I think Bidens team thought they would put the previous administrations crimes behind them and go back to business as usual like they did after Nixon, Regan, and G.W. They’d rather try to get something accomplished rather than spend political capital litigating the past.

      That ship has sailed. If a Dem. nominee doesn’t make investigating and prosecuting crimes by the current administration a centerpiece of their campaign I won’t vote for them full stop.
