Dems never push back on this. Remember how everyone said Kerry was a rich elite because he’d married into wealth, while everyone thought he was so folksy, BUT he owned a baseball team. He was filthy rich! I was mad at the Dems then, and am mad now for not being shooting down this narrative at every opportunity! |
^^ thought GWB was so folksy |
There is a big difference between registered Dem voters and the wealthy elites calling the shots at the DNC. Needless to say, the regular people voters aren't the problem. If someone uses the term "Dem elites" they are referring to the garbage that has taken control of the party by using their wealth to gain power. You, I and 99% of our fellow Americans aren't the problem. Money in politics is what has led to complete dysfunction in our two major political parties. |
No, I disagree. Please stop calling them a cult. They are people who have been brainwashed by years of watching Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Some of them will never admit they were scammed, but a lot of them will figure it out, if Democrats reach out to them and don't treat them like scum for their racist homophobic, whatever-ist views. They are entitled to be racist, etc.! But if you can ignore that crap and focus on the economy, they will vote with Democrats so we can take over the House and Senate and boot these criminals out via impeachment and removal. Republicans don't demand that their MAGAs agree with every part of their agenda, unlike Democrats who call them names and belittle them. I don't agree with anything about MAGA, yet I think it's worth trying to find common ground with them instead of rejecting and despising them thoroughly for their views, which you and I don't agree with. You can't treat people that way and expect they won't get angry. |
Yeah, just the common sense stuff. Torch our alliances with our closest allies. Trample the constitution. Destroy the entire federal government. Crash the economy completely. Yeah let’s give it 4 years before judging. |
True, and funding today’s terrorists at Trump Tower. |
You’re not elite, of course, only the megadonors are. But we are their footsoldiers. Upper middle class striver Dems. High opinions of ourselves. Quite sure that our party helps people so mich and our own families are too stupid to recognize the no ility and selflessness of the dcurbanmoms crew. Textbook. How do the illegal immigrants help the family you condescend to? How do all the affirmative action and DEI quotas help them? Do they agree with you that layoffs of federal bureaucrats will surely lead to the end of headstart and medicaid? Do they agree with you that Democrats fight against income inequality even though income inequality has never decreased under Democrats in your lifetime? |
Democrats are sufferng from “lead character syndrome.” In spite of theor trouncing by Trump, they assume they are still powerful. So instead of plotting to tetake power in 2 or 4 or 8 years,they are STILL in denial of being less powerful and relevant today. So it’s all screeching, all resisting, all in the moment reaction stuff, and no planning. We think we’re the king and Trump is an errant knight who must be disciplined. We don’t even seem to realize we’re outside of the castle walls |
It will shock you, but most Republicans think that Democrats are far MORE corrupt than Trump and co. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Not most MAGA, most Republicans. Sure, Trump and Musk are self-dealing billionaires. And sure, a lot of the right wing grifters are selling supplements and stuff. But Republicans see a MILLION insider Dems on the take, a huge group of taxpayer looters, looting at scale for 50 years. “Trump is the most corrupt person ever” is a partisan talking point and a partisan belief. Most Republicans think the opposite. independents think the two parties are equally corrupt, with Dems slightly worse. Only Dems thing Trump and co are more corrupt than Dems |
It’s too late for Dems to make nice. More voters have pulled the lever for Trump than for anyone else in the last 10 years,, and white upper middle class liberals in general and Democratic politicians in particular have been calling them stupid racist traitor cultists the whole time. The party spat on everyone and now people don’t like Democrats. It’s a big hole to dig out of. |
What entitles them to be racist, etc.? |
The fact that Russian misinformation campaigns have fueled these delusions to influence our election does not make them true. Never forget the craziness of pizza gate. There are absolutely vile scumbag politicians on both sides, and Russia threw misinformation at both sides for sure. But it appears they ultimately found the most vulnerable group in the rabid Trump supporters. |
Let me simplify this for you: 99% of the American people- good, well meaning people 100% of American major political parties- awful, corrupt, dysfunctional, need to be replaced entities 99% of Congressional members- corrupt, awful, dysfunctional politicians that care only for themselves and their portfolios |
Why did you want cancer research to stop and the economy to collapse? |
They didn't want this. They're idiots. We have way too many idiots in this country. People don't elect people as old as Trump and Biden if they aren't complete and utter idiots. Way tooooooo many! |
