She lost because she is a liberal extremist. RFK went to Harris first and she wouldn’t give him the time of day. Then RFK went to Trump and he MADE A DEAL. The rest is history - Trump is planning for his second term and Harris is crying on the couch drinking mimosas.
That’s exactly right. That’s also what the Democrats should have done during Trump’s first term: dealmaking. Instead, they went scorched-earth trying to take him down and stop him at all costs.
If the Democrats are smart, and I’m not counting on it, they should try to negotiate rather than obstruct the Trump agenda. For example, Trump did prison reform during his first term. That could have easily been a Democrat initiative that earned them political capital that would have come in handy during this year’s election. They squandered this and every opportunity to make deals and find common ground. (The Democrats did engage in the negotiations and ultimately supported the reform, but it took Republicans pushing the legislation forward, which is why Democrats did not get credit as they could have.)
The modern Democrat party has been taken over by the radical left. They think the moderate Trump administration, slightly left-leaning Elon Musk, fairly liberal Joe Rogan, and very left-of-center Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are all “right-wing extremists”. To them, Karl Marx is a moderate. They’re just nuts.
