Look, if these complete morons on the Right want to vote against their self-interests and America, they are beyond help, and all I will do is keep working my a-- off to make sure people understand this.
What we have is a failure to communicate on the Left.
The truth is these people support the America-attacking blowhard because he stirs their cold blood. He makes them feel good about looking backward instead of at all the possibilities ahead. He makes them feel good about thinking they are the only thing that matters and that they have somehow been cheated out of their dark, empty lives.
They don’t want to make America better. They want to make everybody else’s lives worse.
All they are is angry, and have finally found a lewd, racist conman who can put a megaphone to their tantrums, and deal the rest of America plenty of pain. He has no goddamn answers for them or us.
What we have right now is a MASSIVE messaging problem.
From the minute the Biden Administration took power it worked like hell to tackle a global crisis that was exacerbated by the previous administration. I mean, holy s— even infrastructure got done, and do you know who has benefited most from that? White people.
If that didn’t resonate, it’s not because it didn’t happen. It’s because too many people didn’t know about it.
I really hate this idea that Trump supporters are just angry people that want to watch the world burn. They aren’t. They genuinely believe that he will stop things like elite pedophilia, reverse inflation, reverse wage stagnation. Many of them believe he will return Christianity to the country (which I think is the only realistic thing they believe, which in my mind is a bad thing.) They genuinely believe he will save the country. Y’all gotta stop talking about them like they just hate everyone and want the country to burn. It’s just patently wrong and tone deaf and makes you guys look insanely out of touch.
The problem is that they have been brainwashed by 30 years of right-wing media to convince them to never believe anything Democrats say ever. We could tell them literally everything they want to hear and they would say we’re lying, or nod along and then go vote for the Republican anyway
“Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.”
he will stop things like elite pedophilia
LOL, he’s the face of elite pedophilia.
Republicans would light their own children on fire if it meant Brown people MIGHT have it worse they they do now. Your charitable ideas about who these racist fascist cunts are in their hearts fails to account for all the COVID vaccine misinformation and outright denial of a) the virus b) the vaccine c) how many were sick and dying d) how many are still sick and dying. But sure, “they just want a better america like we do, folks, god bless us everyone, aw shucks ayuck ayuck ayuck”
Like, all of them? Wow
Tell me you haven’t been paying attention to Republican “Politics” since The Southern Strategy, without, you know, telling me
A great deal of them. Hillary was right; polling showed it.
I have family that are convinced of several of these and any evidence I present is ‘fake news’ or otherwise handwaved away from not being from their approved sources (and I mean non-affiliated, peer-reviewed papers for stuff as well). It’s going to put christianity in some position and take care of the immigration issues, so they believe, and that’s what they want.
I will welcome these Christians “returning” as soon as they:
a) accept the separation of church and State as inviolate
c) actually read their fucking Bibles
angry people that want to watch the world burn
believe he will return Christianity to the country
They’re the same picture.
Word. I understand venting but blaming the voters is not a winning strategy.
What we have right now is a MASSIVE messaging problem.
I mean, it’s a day that ends in Y so of course the Democrats have a messaging problem.
Democrats: BUT THE ECONOMY IS BETTER!! Shut up with your ignorant “bad economy” THE STOCK MARKET IS UP!! Yeah yeah a single person spends almost $100/week on groceries not even enough to last the week and wages haven’t moved much for low earners unless I aggregate as many sectors as possible and show a compiled list of averages, BUT THE STOCK MARKET!! So what if your wage didn’t increase much, the chart says it did!!!
Also Democrats: how are we tone deaf?
Seriously though, it would be funny if it wasn’t handing the greatest military power the world has ever seen over to fascism.
The messaging being that the top of the Democratic Party needs to start listening to everyone instead of just their Wall St donor friends.
Does the DNC use a PR agency or is it just their internal PR people?
The reality is Biden should never have run for a second term. It was very egocentric of him to think only he could possibly beat the orange moron. If people weren’t honest with him about his physical/mental state and he couldn’t recognize it himself, that was the first of many dominoes.
Oh, I’m not loathing myself - I did the right thing. I blame the Democratic Party’s decision to colossally fuck up every part of the 2024 election cycle.
Well we had a great primary to ensure the best most qualified… You know, I think your right, I really didn’t have a choice, the loosing candidate was cemented as my only choice. Democracy’s a funny thing when it’s not Democratic. From the get go it was like gift wrapping the largest military on the planet to Russia. Every one of those fucks in the DNC won’t give two shits, they’ll make money from donations for the next undetermined amount of time while what was left of our failed democracy is sold off to the highest bidder. At least now they don’t have to worry about doing anything for the people the love to loathe.
Democrats are fucking clown shoes! I need a new party.
Should Biden have never ran for a second term? Yes, I remember the claim of a 1 term even…
Is the dnc complacent in a lot of issues? Of course, Hillary is a real early reminder.
Do I think the DNC is deeply tied to the Russian attempt to get what they want? No, they have their puppet and those ‘news’ organizations work for him well. All they had to do was keep people angry/complacent. And it worked! Less dems voted.
Is the primary that big of a deal? Given the limited time for campaigning it seems reasonable that the party appoints a candidate they can all get behind.
I don’t really understand though - we don’t have primaries here. We expect our politicians to exhibit the suitability for the role by convincing their colleagues to back them - kinda like they’ll have to do in the wider government should they get elected. The parties just publish their lists of candidates (ranked) and we just vote for the party.
Yeah the primary is where we choose the candidate to represent us. Without a primary we are robbed of our choice of who gets to run. We only get a choice between two parties.
It would be like me and all my asshole friends choosing the candidate that’s gonna line our pockets for you to vote for. You have this one shit sandwich and a shotgun. Easy choice at first.
We’ve had a shit sandwich and a shotgun as our choices for the last 50 years. This time there are live rounds and a fuckwit’s itching to use it and we still chose a shotgun over the shit sandwich.
In the past we had the opportunity to choose the toppings on the shit sandwich provided to us giving the illusion of choice. Still ends up being a shit sandwich.
With so many Americans on the brink, pain, debt, legal drugs you can’t afford, a healthcare system designed to rob you blind, low wages, corporations spying on your every movement with every device known, a failed educational system, destitute, and I could go on and on, we chose the shotgun.
