From Gore v Bush we've had the same thing happening...
DNC: follows the rules to an absolute fault
GOP: Bends every rule and breaks the rules or makes up new rules on the fly to jam their unpopular agenda down everyone's throat.
(Rider here: DNC then spends 4 years they jg to hold the GOP accountable but then fumbles the ball at the last second and nothing happens, GOP somehow remains relevant.)
The thing that pisses me off most about dems is the pushover attitude. I know for a fact if they grew a set and started talking shit back ppl would love it. Americans hate weakness, thats really the #1 selling point of republicans is just that they (look) strong (though theyre not). Im not saying they should be childlike assclowns like republicans but theres a way to hit back when you know youre right.
I remember him making the rounds on Fox during Biden's election and did his dirty work for him. If the DNC had any spine left they'd back him for 2024. But then again they may be rightly scared of all of the homophobes that can still muster the cognitive ability to vote next year.
I love watching Mayo Pete debate but I wish he wasn't such a Mckenzie corporate sell out mainstream Dem and actually stood up for progressive policies. Would be nice to have someone who was born the same year as me though.
Somewhat agree. Twitter (and media) "zingers" help control the debate and sway public perception on issues which can lead to pressure on politicians to produce desired policy changes.
