    To be fair, Clinton and Harris and the platform were not particularly exciting, and they played by the old rules.

    Misogyny may have been a contributing factor, but not being bold, exciting, or authentic sure as hell didn’t help.

      maybe let the people who actually vote for the party decide who they prefer as candidates, rather than having the gerontocracy alone dictate that choice

        Those people said “Clinton” and then “Biden”. Both over Bernie, who was far more charismatic than both and with a fucking spotless record, unlike both.

        Not sure that the primary voters’ll be delivering a progressive savior unless the demographics of who votes in Dem primaries changes radically.
