I’ll take your word for it, because I know better than to watch/read the garbage on CNN & MSNBC.
I think it’s very fortunate that Harris lost by such wide margins both electorally & popularly, because that negates a lot of bullshit excuses for her loss, like for instance third-party voters or Russian interference. The DNC has run out of scapegoats and needs to finally look in the mirror for its failures. They lost to the same joke of a candidate again, through all faults of their own, through unforced errors.
This white-hot rant argues that this loss can’t be written off to incompetence, and I’m finding it pretty compelling: Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed
