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.
Democrats have no message, progressives suck at talking, Republicans are good at talking because they know it’s all they have.
But at a certain point people do just have to be smart enough to see that something so obviously bad is bad. You really can’t work around it.
Which is why the American status quo (as opposed to “humanity”) is a virus that the earth is healing by means of a fever. Our best is better than this, but we’re graded on our average.
I’d say Republicans are good at saying thing that appeal to human emotions, not talking.
To hell if they really go through what they promise. And they will take credit for things they have no parts in because it riles up their base.
I mean, what was Trump platform exactly? The concept of a plan. Same as Doug Ford.
Still, they were elected.
At this point, the Democrats saving grace would be to go more left and proposing actual progressive programs and ditch the status quo. But the brass of the DNC don’t have the interest of the people first.
I disagree that the left is bad at talking, it’s the North American culture that sucks at dealing with confrontation and dealing with things they disagree with. Any once of heated debate is too much and is seen as a big conflict instead of a healthy thing. So instead, any disagreement is automatically brought to the extreme because it is taken personally.
Anyways, this is a complex subject and there are many things that needs to be done differently.
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.
Do not listen to M’aiq. M’aiq is a liar.
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.
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?
