"We just want you to fight, win or lose" is a lie people say without realizing it's a lie. They believe it at the time they say it, but whenever the "lose" part happens they just feel scared and forget all the high minded stuff and lash out like children at whoever can be easily blamed.
It just underlines what I've said before here: the sentiment of "credit for fighting" is bullshit because the reality is folks will not give you credit for trying. It's win or fail, and failure isn't treated as a setback, but a permanent tattoo of disgrace that stains you forever.

yeah I refuse to rewrite this history. harris ran a _very_ tight campaign with a few (not zero!) missteps. trump was a total shitshow. the closing argument was literally a dead squirrel.
the media made it clear that debates are the most important thing ever. she disemboweled him. they didn't care.

I'm sorry, why are we retroactively acting like his campaign was particularly good in 2024? It was a shit show, it just didn't matter.

Roughly 2% of the whole country went out on a Saturday and protested the lawless Trump regime. There was essentially zero violence or destruction of property by the demonstrators. They were just fed up. Write 1,000 stories about this!

Unemployment was at 7.8% when Obama took office. He got it down to 4.7% by the end of term
Trump then lost millions of jobs, and left Joe Biden with unemployment at 6.4%
Biden CREATED millions of jobs and reduced unemployment to 4.3%
Unemployment is rising under Trump-again-standing now at 4.6%

Since the entire National Conversation™️ today is about unemployment & jobs, despite inflation being higher than it was when Joe Biden left office, I’ll just place this here again:
We're about to discover what "the least responsible economic policy in 40 years" actually looks like, contrary to the last four years 👇. And, dollars to donuts, we are going to be told that voters miraculously care about unemployment again:

Job losses in June, August, and October mean the U.S. economy has shed jobs in three out of the past six months.
And recall that Powell said last week that Fed staff thinks the numbers may be *overstating* jobs by about 60k/month, due to methodological issues

One reason the GOP is repeatedly terrible at managing the economy is that they believe public sector jobs aren’t real jobs, & they demonize/defund the govt - at both the state & federal levels - every time they hold power. Only difference this time is how wildly illegally they’ve done it via DOGE.
Federal government employment is down more than 270k since the start of the year amidst DOGE cuts—that's nearly 9% of the Fed workforce
The large drops in recent months are caused by many workers who've been on deferred resignation becoming officially unemployed
