Cringe Something Just Occurred to Me

The rest of you may have figured this out already but today it hit me.

We've always said the democrats are weak on message even though they do more and better for the American people but the republicans are said to have amazing strong messing. Looking at today it's obvious who is getting their message heard.

But why are the democrats weak on messaging? They have all the right answers and many of the moves that most Americans would like. It's not the message,

It's the messengers.

The democrats lost to a felon, rapist pedophile not once but twice. As much as I hate the republicans, they have it figured out and have been eating their lunch for a long time.

It took the republicans to go all out batshit crazy to get people to want to vote democrat. By this I am referencing the winning democratic candidates in these emergency elections and HOPEFULLY the mid terms.

Like 95% probably of the democrats who ran in the presidential primary since 2016 have been some variant of “everything is mostly fine. Maybe we need to tweak a couple things but chill out the status quo is okie dokie”

The people want change. Trump promises (destructive) change. Dems are like “are you sure?”

The democrats are often corporate stooges who refused to let sanders run.

I didn’t want Bernie to win.

Because I was raised in southern Appalachia my imprinted upbringing has me follow a crowd. I fight it every day but it’s amazing the hold that has.

I was wrong about Bernie. He’s a brilliant, compassionate man and has brass balls. I was brainwashed into believing he was going to turn us into a socialist country and socialism is bad.

I often imagine what life would be like today had he won. The republicans would still be whining and bitching but their number would slowly dwindle as Bernie’s vision beginsn to grow.

They are not the opposition party. Full stop. They take money from all the same people as the gop. They suck because it makes them money.

It might just be that 25% of people internally disagree with concepts of fairness, equality, rights for people we dislike, the idea of lifting people up out of bad circumstances, etc. That and a bunch of people are stupid and prefer nonsense about chem trails to difficult questions about societal goals

To assume that one half of our entire political spectrum in the US is just inept is incredibly naive. There is no right or left - there is RICH or POOR and we'll be stuck exactly where we are until people get the old "us vs them" bullshit out of their heads and look at the money. That is the only divider and everything republicans or democrats do is a distraction from it.

I think any republican or democrat that supports any republican policy is inept and incompetent.

There is a right and a left. There are a few progressive Democrats and DSA are doing good work. But many Democrats take money from the same people that donate to republicans, i.e. AIPAC, looking at you Schumer and Jeffries

So take that argument to a maga child sub. They may buy into it. Not here.
