General Discussion

The president doesn't have that much power over an election. Citizens United, international anti-incumbent trends, the manosphere, anger over covid policies that were set at the state and local level, anger over inflation which most presidents have limited ability to control (unless they unilaterally impose stupid tariffs), decades of economic policies that benefited the elites that are becoming more obvious in our stratified society, Trump killing the immigration bill beit benefited his election chances, gerrymandering , our own lack of investment in more states,etc.

We're there things he could have done differently? Sure. And the Harris campaign, and us as supporters, the party over the last few decades, various state parties.

That said while trying to take the responsibility is inaccurate, it is admirable. Especially in comparison to Trump who has never accepted blame for even the things he's responsible for.
