[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's more than a bit disconcerting that people here don't understand that there's a difference between local politics and presidential elections. That local politicians can win on local issues does not mean voters across multiple swing states will get behind Democrats' unpopular national agenda. [/quote]

What is unpopular about their agenda? Affordable healthcare? Common sense gun laws? Addressing climate change? Protecting women’s reproductive rights? [/quote]
There many excellent analyses of why Democrats lost the last election. Google them.[/quote]

Oh I am aware of how they lost by a very narrow margin. Drowned out by Elon Musk and Donald Trump‘s right wing propaganda. How much did Elon spend on the 2024 election again??[/quote]

Exactly. Trump was going up against the last minute replacement candidate who replaced a very unpopular incumbent who backed out of the race just 3 months ahead of Election Day and Trump still couldn't secure at least 50% of the popular vote. Oh, and that last minute replacement candidate was also the VP of the sitting POTUS with a 40% approval rating!! If the GOP had a legitimate nominee, they would have won over 500 electoral votes and 70% of the popular vote in 2024.[/quote]
