People are enthusiastic to vote when the party listens to them.
The party had it ass-backwards. “Vote for us and maybe we’ll do what you want. But we both know we’re not gonna” generates no enthusiasm at all. To the contrary, the longer that voting yields the same disappointing results, and the more that people see that the party isn’t interested in anything other than preserving an untenable status quo, the more that this messaging results in apathy and resentment.
“Fine. We’ll do what you want.” HAS generated enthusiasm.
Democrats would rather lose than embrace progressives.
Imagine what would happen if the party listened to its membership more frequently.
How about that. Harris moves to the left on domestic economic issues, and boomers switch to her. Even as prominent Republicans call her a commie.
Conventional “wisdom” within the centrist wing of the party is that we have to move to the right because boomers will flee in panic if we dare move to the left. Turns out, centrists have been full of shit this entire time. We’ve wasted so many years moving to the right for a lie. What else are centrists full of shit about?
Look at that. Young people excited to vote. It’s almost as though all the party needed to do was run a better candidate.
Trump was always broken. Harris just drew attention to it in the right way.
Every gun owner thinks they’re a responsible gun owner.
Last time I called Rittenhouse a murderer here, one of his inbred cult wanted to argue. Let’s see if that happens again:
Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer.
