This just highlights everything the Democrats did wrong during 2024. They really need to start taking notes, here.

Ha, good one. They prefer to blame everyone else.

The DNC, the New York Times reported, will “mostly steer clear of the decisions made by the Biden-turned-Harris campaign and will focus more heavily instead on actions taken by allied groups.”

Culminating in 2024, but “everything the Democrats have done wrong” reaches back about 25 years at least.

Probably started somewhere around the indentured servitude to the oligarchs.
