Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

Biden dropped out because his brain was melting and it got to a point that nobody could reasonably pretend otherwise, he was also polling like shit, and both of those factors are why he dropped out. Three months is plenty of time to build a campaign, it’s comparable to election seasons in other countries, if anything, it was more advantageous to Kamala for her to be able to skip the primary, especially considering how badly she did in the 2020 primary.
No idea why you’re commenting on why Biden did/didn’t drop out as I didn’t even give a take on that. Fighting a ghost for no reason, but ok. For Kamala personally it was better that she didn’t have to go through primaries, but it’s worse for the Dems. Obviously.
Yes inflation was the #1 cause, which wasn’t Bidens fault. US also recovered from the pandemic better than peer economies and earned the title of “economic envy of the world”, thanks to his administration.
People got brainwashed regardless into blaming him for inflation. My argument still stands.

You’re always injecting this stuff. I already said it was global inflation that caused other incumbent parties to lose. You’re constantly trying to reaffirm your beliefs and it gets in the way of critical thinking and rational discussion. The goal is to see the world as it is, not stan your favorite politician.
People didn’t get “brainwashed,” jfc. Not everyone is an economic expert following global trends. People saw prices go up, so they got upset because the prices were higher. Not everything that happens is because of Russian propaganda.
And your argument does not still stand. As I said, Kamala failed to distinguish herself from Biden’s unpopular policies.

Oh wow, yes my argument does indeed fall just because Kamala failed to “distinguish” herself in a rushed 3-month campaign from Bidens objectively successful administration. Makes sense 👍
No shit they’re not economic experts, that’s why they blamed Bidens admin, with the help of propagandists.

Again, you’re getting distracted playing defense on points I already conceded. Jesus, it’s hard to talk to people who are so partisan-brained. Even if I try to give you something you’ll refuse to accept the gift, and then demand it.
Not everything I say is trying to paint Biden in the worst possible light. I’m not arguing that Biden singlehandly caused global inflation and every other problem in the world. I’m just trying to engage with reality as it is and not this hyper-partisan bullshit that says he can do no wrong and nobody could ever have a legitimate reason to disagree and everything is Russia’s fault.

I’m not affirming what you think either lmao. I’m affirming what a large portion of voters were thinking. I’m also the only one here backing up my arguments with facts and polls, so I don’t think I’ll be the one not “engaging with reality”.
