DEMOCRATS NEED QUIT CRYING IN THEIR BEER & Why They Lost in 2024

First of all

Quit crying just because it’s stupid and stand tall instead. Don’t apologize or tell the world you’re taking a look at yourself. You didn’t get destroyed in 2024; you barely lost. Just shut up and move on. Never go around saying your re-evaluating yourself, it shows weakness. Plus, it’s just stupid. This is war with a dictator wannabe and the extreme right. WWII was a fight against the extreme right.

Don’t forget this: In 2013, ex-Senator Bob Dole said this about the Republicans:

“I think they ought to put a sign on the [Republican] national committee doors that says closed for repairs…”

And now look where they are. They might be ruling from the gutter, but they are running the country (barely, with about 51% of elected support).

Democrats can come back-if Trump doesn’t destroy the country first-but if Republicans (what I call The Trump Party) can recover from that low in 2013, then Dems can come back. (Of course, Dole did support Trump in 2016, so who knows.)

The Mistakes Democrats Made in 2016 and 2024

Democrats have made several mistakes in the last 10 years that cost them elections. And they weren’t on policy; They were mistakes with candidates:

1. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF ALL – NUMBER 1. They nominated Hilary Clinton to run for President. Not that Hilary wouldn’t make a good President, but she couldn’t win. I mean: Who wants the same couple in the White House when the candidate is the spouse of a former President? Nothing against the Clintons, but I don’t care who it is; I don’t want the same people in there again because it’s now the spouse who’s running. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Clintons. Believe me when I say that. I JUST DON’T WANT THE SPOUSE OF THE SAME #!*!ING COUPLE AGAIN, WHOEVER THEY ARE. GOT IT!? End of discussion.
2. Trump barely won in 2016 and even lost the popular vote. Somebody as good, or even much worse, than Hillary could have won and beaten Trump. But again: PEOPLE DON’T WANT THE SPOUSE OF A PREVIOUS PRESIDENT AGAIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. GOT IT NOW?
3. NUMBER 2 MISTAKE: #1 and #2 above 10 times over. That’s why the Dems lost in 2016. Their own stupidity.
4. The next step was the 2020 election. The Democrats won because Biden was a return to sanity. Dems were back on top. But what did I think at the time? Biden was 78 years old when he became President. Even when he was running, i.e., before he won the election, I knew that he should only run for one term. He would be too old to run for a second term. That would be stupid.
5. NUMBER 3 MISTAKE. Democrats nominated Biden to run again in 2024. How stupid is that? What was the number one complaint voters had about the two candidates? They were both too old. If they had nominated Harris to run in 2024 after she campaigned for a couple of years before she was nominated, she would be President now and we wouldn’t be in this #!*!ING mess with a conman as President. Harris destroyed Trump in the one debate held in 2024. If she had been in the race back in 2021 or even earlier, there would have been at least one more debate and she would have again destroyed Trump, and he would have lost the election. She is quick on her feet, and Trump’s stupidity would have been showing.
6. NUMBER 4 MISTAKE. Democrats are “examining” themselves wondering why they lost. Trump won 49.9% of the vote in 2024. That’s the same as one vote if there had been only 100 voters. He barely sneaked over the line. And the Dems are questioning why they lost? They barely lost. And they’re crying in their beer as to why? Meanwhile, Trump goes around claiming he has this big mandate, yet the Dems never speak up and remind him – and the country – that no, he has no mandate, he barely won. And the Republicans barely won the Senate and the House. That is no mandate. Why aren’t the Dems constantly challenging that claim every single time he makes it? Is that stupid or what?

That’s why they lost in 2016 and in 2024.

AND THEN THERE’S THIS

Trump really started running for President when he led the Obama “birther movement” back in 2011. When he finally got the nomination in 2016, people were still asking him: “Do you believe Obama was born in the U.S.?” He answered yes, Obama was born in the U.S.

But how did the Democrats respond to that? They took it as a dead issue and never mentioned it again, when they should have said that his admittance about Obama’s birthplace was not the issue. THE ISSUE WAS THAT HE KNEW ALL ALONG THAT OBAMA WAS BORN IN THE U.S.; He just made the claim to get support from millions of Obama-haters. He never sent any investigators to Hawaii or Africa. That was another lie. And the Dems probably would have won if they had pushed that back then, but they just accepted it like it was Trump admitting that yes, he did steal a cookie off someone’s plate – like it was no big deal. Well, it was a big deal. Trump won that issue and the Dems didn’t even notice.

So, they lost.
