@thedisasterautist @KGinKS I feel like part of the problem is the Democratic party is a pretty big tent there are quite a lot of different views encapsulated in that one party whereas Republicans are in lockstep
Like good little Nazi's? Completely true, democrats would do better if they united behind a specific candidate/message. Damn individualism! 🤣🤣🤣
@KGinKS @Razdawg22: Individualism? No, far from it. Usually they fall apart from infighting and sniping over "ideological purity" disagreements, over who's hardcore/serious/true-blue enough versus one another and everyone else. The same thing happened with the Democrats.
The genuine fascists won over the GOP in the late-200s, with loads of assistance from the Soviets, Chinese, Iran, the Murdoch and related media fascists, Lost Cause adherents in the US, tech bro billionaires, and Evangelicals.
@KGinKS @Razdawg22: The loss of many formerly "mainstream" Republicans in the US was more than offset by the picking up of former non-voters who were/are bigots, open or closet fascists, and/or anti-state.
I think of it like buying a house. If you find a house where you want to live, that costs what you are able to pay and meets 80% of your wish list, make an offer. Hold out for perfection and you look at listings forever without buying.

Good point. Varied interests vs United hatred.
Huh. I’m pretty sure the news media would still have headlines, like: “Democrats Deny Biden’s Poor Performance: Are they Delusional?”
Sorry; this is the fault of the press attempting to become kingmakers. This happened in 2020 and 2016.
The press is partisan. Grudgingly they are admitting their yellow journalism didn’t work.
@KGinKS You mean the same Democrats that regularly push their crowned king in primaries, barely giving even the fig-leaf of making it look like we select the candidate, and who regularly engage in strategic voting to ensure that progressives are stifled and anyone who votes for them is made fun of?
_Those_ democrats?
Shocking. It's almost like most of them are career political animals who only pay lip service to service and democratic ideals, and will turn on one another at the drop of a hat.
@KGinKS: It's the usual. Historically, the Dems have been their own worst enemies since the 1960s, perhaps even the mid- to late 1950s.
