What might be a catchy hit to inspire the hearts and reinforce the identity of its majority following?
Stop being cucked pc libs, to borrow a phrase. Stop the institutional bullshit, no more civility nonsense, call trump a piece of shit and double down on it. When it comes time to talk policy, as in when you are specifically asked about it and not a minute sooner, talk about the opposition’s first so everyone knows it’s awful. Be aggressive, stop apologizing or trying to take the high road. Be a real god damned person! No fake bullshit, say what you believe and believe what you say. No more shrinking back for some non-existent moderate Republican, fucking stick by what you say and then go farther. Or if you genuinely do have a heelturn, be open about it and go harder in that direction.
Better policy would be very nice, but before any of that they just need to act like real fucking people.
This is my perspective as a non american lefty looking in.
Stop fighting on minor issues. Support trans issues but don’t spend time arguing or justifying or fighting on them. They are to minor and it’s to easy for right wingers to make stuff up and drag the goal posts around making you look crazy.
Right wingers focus on a few issues that are simple to understand. The left needs to do this as well.
Economy - if there is a Republican in power spend all your time bitching about how bad the economy is regardless of reality. If a democrat is in constantly harp on how good the economy is and how our buying power is strong. Perception is reality at the end of day. Talk about how rich the country is but Americans don’t see any of that wealth because of republican policies.
Maybe it’s time to revive the American dream meme. Talk about building up cool infrastructure projects and new mega factories. Talk about creating jobs and building housing so everyone can own a house. Talk about expanding the legal immigration system so there is less people sneaking in and more people coming here to work legally. This would be a good place to start teaching about unions but dems hate unions so rip.
Environment - talk about climate change from the perspective of keeping the land healthy so future generations (kids) can enjoy it.
Also scrap any universally unpopular policy like being soft on violent crime/immigration, dei stuff, basically anything that involves showing compassion to a downtrodden person in society that the average American doesn’t like. Also maybe call one of the European leaders a pussy just to drum up morale.
Have you ever heard an NRA member say, “The GOP has to earn my vote”?
The GOP does the one fucking thing the NRA asks of them, then adds little goodies like hating minorities and gays.
That’s right. NRA members are single issue voters who vote red no matter who.
Occasionally they try to primary Republicans they don’t like. But even when they fail to primary a Republican they don’t like, they will still vote for that Republican in the general. Because they know that Republican will eventually get sick and tired of the constant primary challenges and come around.
You can only wear someone down if they stick around. Why “punish” a politician by letting Democrats win, when over time you can train them like a dog?
That’s how the NRA gets results.
Liberals aren’t the actual left, and made sure to kneecap any chance you had years ago of a populist left coalition to challenge Trump.
It’s the horrific shit that works, unfortunately
