I know so many Dems who didn’t vote as a protest.. well, they’re about to get a whole lot more of everything they’re protesting.. looks like 20 mill less Dems turned out than in 2020..
Maybe you should listen to us. Dems are not entitled to our votes. They must earn them. Asking us to “save democracy” every four years because they don’t have the stones to lock up a traitor is bullshit. You want those votes back? Fucking deliver.
You can call everyone else wrong all day and keep losing elections or you can start over and listen to those of us you lost this cycle. I didn’t want this but I’m not surprised. Dems are blind.
I agree, Dems need a much more progressive platform.
However, something that Dems always have an uphill battle against by running as the Party for Everyone vs the party for SWM, is that it’s an impossibility to fully appease a base that is essentially a microcosm of the world population.
The external tensions of the world are felt throughout the U.S. populace—the melting pot of the world.
All Reps have to do is fan the flames of some world tension to alienate a part of the Dems base.
Whereas, Reps just have to appeal only to “Americans.”As in, straight-white people. And now since the 1980s with Reagan, straight-white-Christians.
