They way apathy is being sowed for democrats there is no chance we will have anyone but GOP in power.
Apathy doesn't get sown, enthusiasm does. Apathy is the default and it's the job of a politician to inspire.
The seeds of apathy were sowed a decade ago when they stopped fighting for what their voters actually wanted and instead ran solely on being the better alternative to an authoritarian dick bag for simply being establishment politicians. Those seeds have taken root and sprouted now that voters have seen the Dems' are incapable of getting over their own hubris.
Dems should really do something about that. This is hindsight but seems to me like they should have tried a bit harder to win the only election that will matter moving forward.
I weep for the timeline where Bernie won the 2020 primary.
It's OK bb. I want to live in your fantasy, too.
They tried. Claiming they didn’t is the sowing apathy thing that I was referring to. Too many people shitting on every little thing the Democratic Party does even when that leads to Trump being in power.
They tried and failed. What good are they? Check the calender, they've been failing for decades.
They hope for a revolution. It's incredibly childish. And even if there WERE a revolution to happen, those tend to put the worst people in power. It's always the worst possible people to rise to power in a revolution. Look what it got China and Russia and where they are now. I prefer the democrats to fucking Stalin, but that's just me.
