With all the discussion today regarding reports that the Democratic Party's autopsy showed how support for genocide hurt Harris, it is worth remembering that Clinton's pro-war views were also damaging to Democrats in 2016.

Olympic athletes and NASA astronauts are wearing masks. Why aren't they more universally worn in hospitals, especially in light of the large number of hospital acquired infections?

Imagine how much better the world would be today if George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and others who pushed the Iraq war were imprisoned for crimes against humanity.

Millions of Democratic voters would not vote for Clinton in 2016 or for either Biden or Harris in 2024 leading to Trump winning. Attacking those who did not vote for Clinton or Harris won't solve the problem. Democrats need to learn from this. Stop nominating pro-genocide authoritarian warmongers who are as bad as the Republicans.

It is hard to have any good thoughts about President's Day considering that we have recently experienced two of the worst presidents in US history with Trump and Biden.
Support for Israel plummets among Democrats. If Harris had won most Democrats would be supporting her wars & attacks on civil liberties, as under Biden. Republicans would win the midterms. Instead many Democrats have stopped moving to the right, Democrats will win the midterms & hopefully not be as conservative.

Democrats must defund Trump's war on Iran. Plus stop funding for Israel, ICE, and for the surveillance state which Biden enlarged.

Most Americans disapprove of Trump on the issues but don't trust Congressional Democrats to do any better per recent poll. This should be a wake up call to Democrats that it is necessary to throw out the incumbents in the primaries and elect new members.

If partisan Democrats were serious about not wanting people like Trump to win they would stop defending candidates like Clinton, Biden & Harris who are responsible for Trump & enable his policies. They should be demanding changes in the party leadership rather than sticking with Vote Blue No Matter Who.
Democrats & Republicans both work for the same oligarchy. They use different rhetoric to get the votes and consent from different groups. They differ primarily over social/cultural war issues which the oligarchy is not concerned about while giving the oligarchy the economic and war policies it wants.
What if the oligarchy which controls this country decided they wanted to hire an actor to play the role of president and they chose a reality show host?

It is good to see centrist Democrats now opposing war when the US has been at war every year of the Obama & Biden administrations, plus both Trump administrations & Bush after 9/11. Despite this some are falsely posting that there were no wars under Obama & Biden.

Bill Clinton says he did nothing wrong re his association with Epstein. In his mind he could be telling the truth. He has never been good at differentiation between right and wrong, especially on sexual matters.
