We can be self righteous and quadruple down and run another unpopular moderate, and see if yelling at them to vote anyways works…
But it’s got a pretty bad track record.
If we run a young charismatic candidate with a progressive platform, we know that performs very well.
So at a certain point. Aren’t both sides acting like children?
Isn’t the smart move for the “moderates” to compromise and we get progressive a little faster than they want? They’re the ones controlling the party and exerting influence so their candidate wins in primaries over the one voters want.
Why is the compromise always to the right?
Why not do what works and gets the American people help faster?
This is going to influence literally zero future votes. It’s a flash in the pan news story for news junkies and not remotely as bad as past pardons, which themselves have also had zero impact on future voting. The broader impression of corruption is because of a systematic and continual deference to the issues of business and rich donors, not that a president’s immediate family can get out of jail free.
Who gives a fuck. Norms are no longer a thing.
The news outlets can fuck off with their gasoline pouring.
And people are pissed about that…
A large number of people who didn’t vote, chose not to because they view both parties as corrupt who prioritize the wealthy over regular citizens.
We can yell at them till we’re blue in the face to choose the lesser of two evils because it’s less evil, but that clearly isn’t working.
So why not we meet the standards of Dem voters to earn their vote?
Why the fuck is it when that option is presented, everyone ignores it?
Hope they’re happy Trump is their new president. They effectively voted for him.
What’s your point?
We all lost.
