why the dems cannot seem to figure out how they lost

Wrongo.

"You see what you did? You!! With your unkind words!! You made me vote for a traitorous, felon rapist!! You did it! You did it to me!!"

Ummm, nah. You chose that yourself. Anyone pointing that out -after the fact, of course, because you can't point something out before it's happened- is....well, just pointing out what happened.

Specifically; YOU chose to vote for a traitorous, felon rapist.


Now back on the subject, KH lost because too many Americans are willing and/or able to be conned....and they are so devoid of integrity that they'd....vote for a traitorous, felon rapist.

 

Democrats are intelligent enough to scare voters about issues that are supported by scientists and/or facts (global warming and pollution, for example). Republican politicians on the far right are racist and manipulative enough to scare voters about people with a different skin color, some of whom come from other places, even though those people are generally peaceful and not a threat (Haitians and Mexicans, for example).

 

Your post is an example of why you lost in a landslide 4 years ago. You think a vote against incumbents is a vote for your radical ideology. Just wait.

 

More than that, the propaganda used against them was entirely effective: striving for power, they will devour anything offered, excuse any indiscretion, forgive any lawbreaker, target innocents, accuse others of their own crimes, and all in the name of keeping power.

It started with drive time radio era in the 90s after Newt Gingrich and his Republican buddies decided the best way to destroy American was to ensure its institutions became ineffective, i.e. purposely tanking the approval ratings of Congress with their obstructionism and scorched earth politics. Through their mouthpieces like Rush Limbaugh, they propagandized the working class to cynically vote against their own interests while gorging themselves on misinformation and outright lies, which they now choose to roll in like a pig in shit.

Now that they have power they literally do nothing except pass tax cuts for their masters while accusing the other side of working for them.

It is THE American tragedy that those who will do anything to acquire power can do nothing effective with it except hurt the country and divide it so they can conquer it and leave it vulnerable to its external enemies.

 

Drive time radio? I always listened to Howard Stern while driving to work

 

Sure, that's why Rush Limbaugh never received the Medal of Freedom from Trump before he pushed off to the 9th circle of Hell and Howard Stern did.

Oh wait, I got that backwards... Limbaugh is indeed smoking cigars with Satan, except it's not a cigar...

...rather an endless burning excretion of white hot cinders from his new Master's nether regions which he will be forced to swallow forever.

Which is quite fitting for what he excreted while he was here - the 9th circle being reserved for among other things: traitors to their country and all...

I hear Trump has a reservation right behind Rush as Satan is looking to recreate the human centipede with the caboose a neck and neck race between Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.... but he isn't without a sense of humor and cruel infernal creativity - maybe he will do a millipede, who knows?

One thing is for sure - Hell badly needs an infrastructure week and all those cinders could make some nice, if excruciatingly hot, roads for the rest of the MAGA caucus to easily reach the deeper pits which they too will burn in for eternity.

Hell would be too dark otherwise, so its good to have a proper fuel source for the mood lighting.

One thing is for sure - MAGA actually might make something Great Again!

 

Howard stern show was hilarious although I stopped listening when he went to satellite radio. Never listened to Rush.

 

So you just come by it naturally! How quaint!

 

I tried listening to Rush one morning in 1997. When I realized he was just reading the paper, changing it to meet his narrative, instead of actually giving substance, it became the first and last time

 

I didn't know who Halperin was so I googled him. 'Halprin previously had worked as the political director for ABC News, where he also served as the editor of the Washington, D.C., newsletter The Note. In 2010, Halperin joined MSNBC," .
He

I don't know Halprin so I Googled him.

"Halperin previously had worked as the political director for ABC News, where he also served as the editor of the Washington, D.C., newsletter The Note. In 2010, Halperin joined MSNBC,"

Definitely sounds like a right wing troll. And the assertion that cultural and national security issues influenced the election is nothing more than pure and simple Fascism. The loss was all economics or you love Hitler. It can't be argued.

 

Wiki also : "On November 3, 2016, NBC's Brian Williams said Halperin had "gone out of his way" to give Trump favorable coverage. "When Donald Trump complains he is not getting favorable coverage in the MSM"—making reference to the mainstream media—"he has not been listening to you this cycle", Williams said to Halperin on Williams' show."
Also suspended and eventually fired for multiple allegations of sexual harassment about 8 years ago.
