OP ED - Dems are demoralized

You responded with a smartass response that didn’t work for me.

 

Great. Maybe better use of buttons. Disagree Bacon was probably the better choice as it was clearly on topic.

 

Trump has no answer for the working class complaints about the economy and is likely going to make it worse. He owns the issues he blamed on Biden and is already walking away from lower food prices. It will end badly in 2 years if all he does is deport brown people and give tax breaks to the rich. Again.

 

When have they done that? If the Democratic Party treated Republicans and centrists like they did progressives or left-wingers, maybe they would be an effective opposition party. But the only people they seem to treat as partners are anyone to the right, even when they call you communist groomers. They are just like "we'll show you by voting for all that racist stuff too!" And then a consultant will cash his check for dispensing the same advice rendered since the mid 1980s: "triangulate right." The most energetic opposition I've seen from Democrats was getting everyone else out of the race in 2020 when it looked like Sanders might win and Biden was flailing.

 

I read until it mentioned as backup support of “the Deep State”.

I get it - not enough time to read fringe right conspiracies.

 

Never. Because that's not actually what happened. And anyone who has a clue about the actual final vote counts, particularly by demographic, know that what you describe is not even close to what actually happened.

I'd go over it for you but, well, I'm tired of explaining something relatively obvious so many times.

Didn't happen. Read more about it.

Weird how people like you can't speak accurately. We (I, anyway) describe Trump voters as someone willing to vote for a person with those attributes. As in - it's not a deal-breaker. Because it certainly should be.

 

Weird post, man. Are you just planning out how clear things might be in case your buddies need to attack America again?

 

Huh. Speaking of demoralized…right on cue.
lol

 

To your credit you read way more of that link than I was able to read not clicking on it.

 

Can you please make your posts either witty, funny or accurate, because you fail on all counts.

I'm not demoralized. I'm having a pretty good time mocking people like y - that believe absurd lies from a traitor.

Guess you aren't going to talk more about your absurd "war" comment, and the multiple responses it got basically calling you and yours un-American traitors?

Don't blame ya, I wouldn't either. But maybe you have some really funny GIFs?

 

Preaching to the choir. Say what you want, but in hindsight, maybe it would have been better to roll the dice with Sanders instead of Clinton in 2016. I like my Democrats liberal and my Republicans conservative, then let the sausage maker that is the US Government grind policy (usually pretty good) out of that. Right now, both parties are utterly perverted. D's the "establishment party" that uses DEI to hook the far left and R's parroting Chomsky on foreign policy as they sidle up to Russia and China.

 

First of all, the war comment was given as a response to Homer who made that point.
Secondly,

Try to keep up bruh

 

Good ole Jim Clyburn. . . best friend for-profit healthcare ever had. The personification of the problem we're currently discussing. Trades on his connection to Civil Rights movement to shield himself from criticism for taking more money from Big Pharma than anyone in Washington, R or D, House or Senate.

 

They could have at least had an actual primary in 2016. Biden was probably still sharp enough still to clean Hillary's clock, but Democrats never like to eat their own (unless its a Democrat who isnt pro-Israel enough). The coronation was a bad idea, just as it was in 2024 with Biden holding on.

 

That was a bad look that pushed a lot of people to MAGA. I voted for him in 2016 and a lot of my motivation was anger at the BS the D party was running. But I saw enough there to know I'd never vote for him again.

 

Yeah, Clyburn sucks but again, Dems are afraid to say anything bad about anyone over 80, which is like everyone in Democratic leadership

 

I think it pushed more people just to not vote period, kinda like this last election

 

It's not age, it's race and you know it. Again, he trades on his (loose) ties to the Civil Rights movement and ability to sway black voters. Period. End of Story. It's utterly cynical and, given the entities he helps out, contradictory to everything the party is supposed to stand for. But he gets away with it and nobody says a word.

 

I'm sure that's part of it. But people are/were pretty deferential to Schumer too, or Pelosi, or Ginsburg, or Feinstein or even Bernie for that matter. Democratic voters like their old leaders, and more or less dont rock the boat because they are afraid of Republicans. They probably need some kind of "Tea Party" to clear out the geriatrics and "lets work with Trump" types but I don't know if the average democratic voter is angry enough to start primarying people. I suppose we will find out.
