   @Nanard_Groubiche It's not that simple. Joe Biden's numbers were much worse than where Harris finished. The Dems bled voters across all demos, not just white dudes, and Trump didn't gain any votes.

   To put it politely, the Dem base, as a WHOLE, did not want to vote for a Republican - and that's what Harris ran as.

   @mekkaokereke I agree with your entire point and would expand on it. But what can she do if there are no majorities? How would you have changed anything with Manchin and Sinema? Presidents can only do so much, and the Democratic coalition has recently only functioned at all by accepting that it is infiltrated. I’m so desperate to see what we’d get done if we had a 60% majority in congress, and I don’t know what I’d have had Biden do differently without that. Maybe this time we can ditch the filibuster…but we still need 50 votes.

   To be clear: this isn’t your problem to solve. The damn electeds should be figuring something out. I just don’t know what options there are.
