  • They are responsible for so much more than that, including making and passing good policies the public likes and is excited about.

    I implore you to lookup the voting history of the Democrat party. And the bills they’ve successfully introduced and passed. If you do, you will come to understand that between them and Republicans, they are absolutely the side to go to bat for the middle/lower classes. This isn’t up for debate. It is fact. Voting records don’t lie.

    You’re argument is that the Dems could do more. No duh. Everyone agrees on that. My argument is that if Americans followed through on their responsibility to inform themselves, then there would be no reality in which any average American would vote Republican over Democrat, because Democrats are THAT much better of an option for governing, and that is backed up by an avalanche of facts. So I’m saying the fault primarily lies with the American voter, while you’re implying it lies with the Democrat party.





  • votes are earned

    That’s only half the equation. Yes, a party is responsible for advertising themselves and their accomplishments. The other half of the equation is the populace being responsible adults, which is NOT the case with a LARGE swath of Americans. It’s American’s responsibility to inform themselves about a party’s voting history and criminal conviction history. To be aware of the status of the economy under each party, historically. It’s literally impossible for a party to thoroughly educate every last voter.

    We still have Dem lawmakers on fucking TWITTER.

    I don’t like it, but realistically it’s probably for exposure. Particularly to independent voters. It’s still a very large platform and if they leave, then it’s 100% a racist Nazi shithole instead of just 95%.

    They lost on social media

    It’s hard to compete against hate, fear, racism, and general misinformation. Truth can’t win on the internet until companies are actually held accountable for the damage their platforms cause due to their inability to moderate misinformation. This is one of the primary reasons I believe the future to be a dark one.

    Gaslighting the public that the economy is good

    All metrics indicate the economy was recovering under Democrat leadership. Clearly that takes time. I agree that they could have advertised that better, but again, it’s partially up to Americans to be aware of these metrics. It’s their civic duty.

    Look, Democrats can do better. No doubt. But the bottom line is Americans chose the BLATANTLY worse option. As in, we may never see such a blatant, obvious election ever again in our lives. That’s on Americans and their inability to take their civic duty seriously.
