A 'where did it go wrong for the democrats?' post shouldn't be necessary - bad candidate + bad campaign = bad results, but then again, the answer might not be that obvious to them.

Do 48% of Democrats really think Kamala is the best choice for 2028? If true, that's great - I fully support their decision. If it isn't true, somebody wanted it to appear so - perhaps they can push her through again without one of those pesky primaries.

The Democrat bench can't really be this thin, surely there is someone tucked away with plans, and policies, and personality, and an ability to speak and answer questions without just clumping together a bunch of clichés and metaphors and adverbs?

A diversity-hire nominee running entirely on 'trump bad, abortion good' wasn't enough this time. If you're a Democrat, what gives you hope that it will be enough next time when Trump isnt on the ticket and abortion is more settled than it is now?

Trump won't be on the ticket next time, but looking at where the GOP is going, there'll be more monkeys with a grenade on their ticket in the future. And given where the US society seems to be going, it'll be increasingly hard to compete with that.
