How can you only assume you’ll win? It’s not like democrats are willing to play dirty against republicans so there’s no guarantee either. You demand my unquestioned loyalty yet you’re so bad at politicking. Of course, I’m not here to pretend democratic politicians are weak or dumb. They’re just evilly indifferent.

It’s so bizarre how liberals ignore local elections. I don’t even hear them making a peep about US senate races. Honestly a savvy tactic would be to concede to the left on Biden and then focus on the state and local level. 2020 wasn’t even really a win for the democrats because even though they got the presidency, the GOP made a lot of headway everywhere else.

That is a win for the Democrats: power sharing with Republicans is their ideal mode of governance.

The perfect excuse to never have to do anything or follow through on any promises.

Also, any time Biden "can't do good thing" it's because of Congress. How about getting more Dems in Congress as a strategy then?

Can't fundraise off winning though
