I mean yes but also they put this shit on blast before the election and nobody listened to them. Pile on all the people blaming them for losing the election to this moron, and I don’t blame them for being silent until now.

They warned us all, and Kamala Harris even torched Trump about in their debate, and 77,284,118 people still didn’t listen.

From a messaging and media relations perspective, a few chill "I warned ya" moments might be best. It's not as if Obama and Harris taking it up to 11 again "THE NATION IS FALLING APART" would reach people vs diminishing returns or just backfiring somehow. This kind of tone might reach and persuade the largest amount of people possible right now, in a way that's most meaningful and effective for now. Or maybe it should be something else, IDK - the point is whatever gets Medians lapping it up and talking.
