Yeah, the Democratic party needs to be cleaned out, starting today. It is bullshit that they played russian roulette with our futures here. 

Just glad they had enough awareness to give us what looks like a 220R-215D HoR (maybe even narrower) and 53R-47D Senate rather than what it could have been.

I don't think any Dem would've won in 2024 ... it just is what it is. People look at the price of things and say "shit, this is way more expensive than 4 years ago, lets go back", but they don't understand you can't really go back. 

It's probably for the best that a candidate like Gavin Newsom did not tie himself to the Biden Replacement ticket, because he probably has a fair shot of winning in 4 years time when people realize things are still expensive and will then pivot to wanting to give someone else a chance. 

I think a candidate who appealed to the working class and was different enough from Biden could have won. Essentially an entirely different candidate ideologically.

But regardless, the fact that they were initially fine with running Biden knowing these internal polls existed, and it took Nancy Pelosi to convince him to quit is disgusting, irresponsible, and just shows how unserious the party is. 

It's bad enough Trump will have a trifecta, but to almost give him super-majorities.
