I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

"We offered nothing and lost to a liar who said they would get something if he came back into office. Why did we lose?"
"We said everything was going great when the public was facing hardships and being targeted by systemic and economic inequality, and the dude lied and said he'd solve it. Why did we lose?"
"The last guy was unpopular and didn't push back on Trump to get him jail. And then we said we'd do nothing different as Americans are facing homeless and their bodily autonomy being ripped away from them. How did we lose?"
"We courted Republicans who openly hate our voter base, alienated them by saying we don't need you, and Republicans are too brainwashed to vote for anyone but Republicans. Why did we lose?"
"We let the campaign be run by the same people who already lost against Trump in 2016. Why did we lose?"
Clearly, the dems need to be lying more.
No, I'm serious, they need to actually start hitting back in kind if they want to preserve even a sliver of the country. This moral high road shit sounds great but boy, does not seem to work in practice.
What America needs is a sane right party as well as an insanely left party in addition to existing parties..
But they don't even need lies to make Republicans look bad. They just need to push harder
Pretty sure we agree in spirit here. Literally lying might be a bit much, but attempting to appeal to the emotion of their base and not their higher moral sensibilities since, lets be real, the base emotions are far more effective way to motivate a group.
We need to make a parallel yet distinct figure of speech to “leopards ate my face” for this behavior. Not to lessen the meaning of fascist leopards but kind of as a contrasting representation of the successes of evil. Something like…
“I fed the hawks, never knowing they would prey on my flock!!”
We have one
"I did not speak up..."
good point but its a lil dark in tone
So is the world right now
nah i know just mean its darker and less symbolic than the leopard thing which was the whole point of me saying this should exist lol
Hawks decimated my sheeple.
I dont think Dems have any power left anymore. The latest DNC was worse than clown world. And the unhinged ranting by Dem reps against USAID to Somalia ??? or Yemen ??? or BURMA ??? Are effing kidding me ??? Are there no sensible Dems reading the room ???
There's one. The DNC hate her, though.
