    In a FPTP system it’s wild to me that Harris wasn’t chosen as the least of two evils for these people. Look at what Trump is going. Is that actually preferred?

      I dunno, maybe we should have an election to see. Oh, wait, we did. I guess you have your answer. So what should the Democrats do about that?

        Field a candidate which is not evil?!

        If they want to they’re the solution for the problem of their own making.

          Actually it seems like the solution is to field someone just as evil, or even more so than Trump.

          He won the election after all. Why court votes from a base that is going to subject you to endless purity tests?

            Gotta court the rightwing vote 'cause the leftwing vote can just be corraled with endless repetitions of “If you don’t vote for us you’re voting for Trump”.

            After all, that worked so well last time …
