The Democratic Party (like the police/entire criminal control system) is working exactly as designed. It gets people to spend all of their time, energy, & money campaigning on political campaigns for centrists instead of building alternate structures and/or grassroots organizing.
The Harris campaign got people to give political consultants $1B, think of how that money could have been spent otherwise.
Even more than the money, think about what people could have done with all of the time they spent volunteering for the campaign & following it. Imagine what people could have done in their communities with that time & energy. Even just knowing what's going on in their city/town would be a huge improvement (it kills me the number of people in my city who spent a ton of time following the campaign & hanging on every poll that didn't know our city council is trying to defund affordable housing & pass massive surveillance)
