From the Article:

For weeks following Joe Biden’s disastrous performance, his campaign publicly maintained the illusion that he was still well-positioned to defeat Donald Trump. Privately, they knew otherwise. As Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau revealed days after the election:

After the debate, the Biden people told us that the polls were fine, and Biden was still the strongest candidate. They were privately telling reporters, at the time, that Kamala Harris couldn’t win. […] Then we find out, when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling, at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes.

The implications of this are staggering, and it should be treated as a massive scandal.

    The Democratic party is an enemy of the American people, as much now as the Republican party always has been.

    They don’t fight for you to stop fascism. They enable it, step aside and let it walk past and say “well, we did all we can do”.

    Well, if all they can do is die, good riddance.

    PARDONS HIS DRUG ADDICT SON, WHILE YOU CAN’T AFFORD GROCERIES 🤣

      There is no reason any politician should ever listen to what you want or pay attention to you in any way. By treating politicians who raise taxes on the rich the same as politicians who lower taxes on the rich, you are literally encouraging politicians to lower taxes on the rich and increase wealth inequality.

        By holding people accountable to their bad behaviour were driving them to be worse?

        Sounds like they’re shitty people and should be replaced

        Democrats used my money to buy weapons for genocide(which it is), shoot rubber bullets at college students(plural), and save their own skin rather than ours.

        Take your taxes and eat shit, and maybe get some goddamn reading comprehension. No one said a thing about taxes.

        I’m talking about the 1% cowards with blue ties on that ignore their voter base. Who knows, maybe I’ll get to visit one in prison after Trump’s done and voice my grievances.

          The politicians you were telling people not to vote for were the very same politicians stopping the GOP from increasing wealth inequality. Wealth inequality is the driver of all of our other problems.

          You seem mad. Seems like you are misdirecting your anger though.

          Sometimes we get angry at ourselves for doing stupid shit (or in some cases not doing a thing we should have done), but our ego will prevent us from accurately pinning that anger on ourselves.

          You are in for a rude awakening in two months.
