I am sure you understood the threat Trump and the Republican party represented back in 2024; why didn’t the Democratic party? The behavior of the Dems did not reflect the threat posed by the Republicans. If the Democratic party were trying to actually win, they would have stuck with popular policies like prosecuting grocery chains for price gouging. Instead, the Dem party tried to attract the nonexistent “Moderate Conservative” by cozying up to the Cheneys and snubbing their left wing.

It really seems like the Dems would rather lose to fascists than win with progressives.

They sure as hell didn’t act like they wanted to win. Dancing around with Liz Cheney or promising stricter border control doesn’t exactly scream winning strategy to me. The Dems started out with the very popular idea of going after grocery chains that were gouging customers, but dropped that line of messaging after Kamala spoke with her brother in law who is an Uber exec.
