I was shocked that DNC didn’t counter the anti-trans ads with factual information. Result may have been the same, but at least some educational seeds could’ve been planted.

2024-11-14 05:55:06 +0000 UTCGood point about norms not being iron-clad rules, and in any case, Hubert Humphrey did break with Lyndon B. Johnson on the Vietnam War (but in September, far too late in his campaign), so there was precedent for Harris to do that. And then this week the Biden administration doing nothing about Israel despite their threat to do so...huh, weird how it seems like that was just a perfunctory attempt at getting some votes with a promise they knew they'd break. I can't imagine why people's trust in the Democratic Party has eroded...
