18. See! His "most important job" comment is same as "Why didn't Dems stop Republicans" Democrat blaming.

Pay no attention to voter suppression, vast right-wing media empire, media false equivalency and negativity when it comes to Democrats, unlimited funding from ideological nutty Mercers, Kochs, etc, automatic Christian evangelical vote, culture wars so important in getting those angry brainwashed white people to the polls in swing states, attacks from the Left that the Democratic Party is corrupt and controlled by billionaires with bribes and needs to be taken over (it has its own world of cynical lies demonizing Democrats, designed to suppress the vote), polarization so severe that the extremist Republican Party mostly functions as a war on Democrats and conning voters.

But no, everything's Democrats' fault. But she said on "The View" that she couldn't think of anything she'd do differently from Biden (the one being called FDR a while back). People are saying with straight faces that's why Harris lost.
