DHUM, how do we combat this pyramid of lies???

Good question.

I think it helps to try to remain civil. It’s much easier for a person to tune out when they are offended. Easier said than done when they themselves  are being offensive, I know. But I do think a person can be confident that the high road reply is more likely to leave a constructive impression on others, both offenders or bystanders, than the low.

I think it also helps to admit when things could’ve been done better by the Dems. Perhaps Harris’s worst campaign moment was not being able to offer anything she would’ve done differently. In general, people are less defensive about and more trusting of an opposing view when there’s a willingness to acknowledge mistakes.

Not PP, but taking the high road is what landed us with Trump. [/quote]

Many things landed us with Trump, but the high road wasn’t one of them.  There was a lot of Dem overconfidence on almost everything, and stubbornness is more low than high. I say this as someone who voted against Trump three times. [/quote]

Dem overconfidence perhaps played a role in 2016. Any Dem who was confident the 2024 election would go in their favor with Joe Biden and his 40% approval rating as the sitting POTUS at the time is a complete idiot who doesn't understand how politics work.[/quote]

The party was clearly too confident of his chances of re-election when it chose to forgo a real primary. [/quote]

There typically aren't "real" primaries for the incumbent party when the incumbent is seeking re-election.

The point is he shouldn’t have sought re-election. He was a big part of the party, and the rest of the party wasn’t powerless. Hence, the party as a whole was overconfident of his chances, among many other things. [/quote]

He couldn't be a 3 year lame duck with everything our country faced. We all knew he wasn't going to run for re-election and its not like you can side-step the sitting vice President, so the hand off worked pretty much as anyone with a brain figured it would. Harris ran a great and positive campaign with concrete plans of action to continue to improve the economy and the status of everyday Americans. It is too bad our country still isn't ready for a female president.[/quote]
