GOP also always picks a Republican head of the FBI when they’re in charge. So does the Democratic president. Why is that?

You may want to inform party leadership there’s a war on, they been out here trying to pull a muscle reaching across the aisle.

Just like our elections!

The same evidence that shows Democrats went too far left also shows the Democrats went too far right. Curious.

They could have won this by… doing exactly what they did? Brilliant! Like, where/when did you see the campaign focus on trans rights rather than the economy? I mean, I didn’t think her economic plan was all that, but at least I heard about it… I only heard about trans anything from the right, and it certainly wasn’t them campaigning on trans rights! Do you really think the Democratic presidential campaign was just Democrats talking to themselves about trans rights? I’m dying to know what media you consume!

You know what? I don’t think you have any idea about what Harris ran on, though it sounds like you’re aware of the FOX news caricature of her campaign. Which, honestly, puts you in probably about the same place as the average American voter.

You are right about the need to reach non-voters, but I’d include never-voters. Personally, I think the addiction to fat-cat money is the biggest obstacle to attracting old and new voters. I reckon it’s not easy to want to fix problems that major donors don’t want fixed.

They are just buying a book. Buying a book, most likely online, is the least dramatic thing ever. Your comment was so much more dramatic! I don’t think I trust your ability to judge reality objectively.

They are literally out there right now with their “your body, my choice” bullshit proving why we they deserved scrutiny in the first place. And where did this “white” shit come from? I hadn’t read it was only white guys doing this.

If the left not voting leads to Democrats losing, you’d think the party would try to win those votes. Instead they campaign like they don’t need them. And well, I guess… the campaign advisors actually don’t need them, they’re gonna get hired to run the next campaign regardless. And the fat-cat donors are gonna stay rich regardless. Both ready to steer the next election!

It’s always “the left” that’s causing candidates to win by not voting, it’s never candidates failing to give them something to vote for. Or advisors and donors pushing the candidates towards positions that will cost them the election. It’s always “the left”.

But hey, she got the Cheney’s vote! And look, my swing state family’s as well. But Democratic candidates and policies need to go big, or they’re gonna keep being sent home. People voted for Trump for the same reason they voted for Obama - they absolutely want change, and 25K for a mortgage down payment ain’t it.

I wouldn’t bet that he ain’t cheated on all his wives.

I hope you have the most boring elderly years - filled with procedural crime dramas and dry toast with cottage cheese. And absolutely no thinking about anything remotely fun!

Right-wingers only actually being right about anything when they “think” they’re grossly distorting the truth for a “joke” that ain’t ever funny… where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, everywhere. Like, it must be day that ends with a Y or something.

Men on the internet have tried to argue me into accepting that I am threatened by trans women. I still don’t get it.

Maybe a better runner uses calories more efficiently.

I’m all for stomping out fascism, but I gotta say… saving people who want others fed to the leopards isn’t even on my list of reasons why.

Surely you meant sweet potato pie! Apples don’t really grow down here.

But yeah, the southern heritage one should want to claim ought to be more about shrimp and grits and less about confederates and slavers. Those traitors are history, but no decent person would claim that hateful shit as their damn heritage. Unfortunately, we ain’t about to run outta folks lacking decency anytime soon.

Attention

Well yeah, I mean… since when isn’t it expected for Trump to be weird?

That’s nice.

But according to the meme, citizens ain’t boatwrights, they’re bailers. Those things you mentioned would be more fixing the boat than bailing it.

To me the weirdest thing isn’t how they still support him, it’s how little it seems the rest of US could care.

It’s like the thing with Nigerian scammers and how they weed out the folks who aren’t gullible and get fat off the rest. The flamboyant absurdity that turns off normies is what attracts his victims (this is the first time I’ve actually thought of his voters as victims). I’m also reminded of whale sharks and how they filter out water and get fat off the plankton.

But where are the Democrats in this? There’s no adversarial someone out there between a scammer or filter feeder and their prey. And sure, the people that are going to vote for him aren’t going to listen to a Dem. But what about the entire apathetic electorate? That’s the seawater Trump is using to filter feed on his victims. Without that apathy he can’t win. If only there were some way Democratic electeds could reduce apathy amongst the American people. Some way that wouldn’t upset donors, that is.

sigh

I’m afraid it’ll be voter apathy vs whale shark scammer this November.

But how? Democrats have been trying to get the media to discuss what they want when they want for like 4 decades now. Mainstream media has decided it’s on the side of business and Dems are bad for that (I disagree, but then I’m not a CEO, just someone who can read a chart), so how do you get them talking about the benefits of (D) actions instead of just the drawbacks they want to highllight in the 3 minute segment they only agreed to just to show how unrealistic or expensive or whatever they think those actions are?

It would be sweet, if Trump’s downfall comes
