I am sure you understood the threat Trump and the Republican party represented back in 2024; why didn't the Democratic party? The behavior of the Dems did not reflect the threat posed by the Republicans. If the Democratic party were trying to actually win, they would have stuck with popular policies like prosecuting grocery chains for price gouging. Instead, the Dem party tried to attract the nonexistent "Moderate Conservative" by cozying up to the Cheneys and snubbing their left wing.

It really seems like the Dems would rather lose to fascists than win with progressives.

Maybe the dems should have taken the threat seriously instead of presenting a candidate that promised fuck all. We wouldn't be in this situation if the Democrats pushed progressive policies instead of promising "stricter border control" or "most lethal military".
