Kamala Harris got the third most votes among all presidential candidates in the history of US presidential elections. Not too shabby.
I have the same indignation but from a different point of view. It assumes the way Dems "ran on democracy" in 2024 is the only way. Maybe there are smarter ways to tie American values to everyday lives
Also defining "working" against election results rather than Harris's vote totals is simplistic

i’ve seen the “running on democracy didn’t work in 2024” line so many times the last 10 months and it is so emblematic of everything wrong with the dem party. abandoning something that fundamental because it didn’t work *one* time in one the weirdest elections this century

Seems to me that socialism is govt interfering in private enterprise to benefit the vast majority of the governed, and what we have now is govt interfering in private enterprise to benefit the oligarchs.
And it dates to slavery, when pro-slavery forces equated the abolition movement with socialism, or redistributing slaveholders' property. Here's arch slavery defender George Fitzhugh in 1857:

Despicable!
This is the single bleakest thing I’ve heard any Trump oligarch say yet.
“You can all toil away in the factories with no hope of advancement, for you, your kids, and generations after.”
Almost cartoonish in its abject villainy.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

Some of y’all aren’t understanding where we are. Saying “he can’t do that” no longer applies. This is now a dictatorship. Not a democracy/republic. Congress won’t act. The AG won’t act. Unless he is removed by force, he can and will do whatever the fuck he wants and *no one* will stop him.
