When it comes to pleasing the base, or the voters, Democrats always choose the former. At least they can feel good about losing.
I see so much hate for James Carville but he was right. Grocery prices affect more people than abortions so why the hell did Dems run on abortions?!

The democrats were rerunning Joe Biden as their candidate when he was obviously unfit mentally while they were claiming he was. They were also lying.
Um. Tr*mp is the most unhinged and stupid person. He's never been able to form a coherent sentence and can only exist because he was born a millionaire. I always thought Biden was much smarter, well spoken, and honest than Tr*mp. Do you disagree?
I just don't get people and their nano aggressions.

The left flank of the party is the problem. Democrats would win more elections if they focused on economic issues.
The left of the Democrats are the people focusing on economic issues. I'm not just saying that to be contrary. The relevant economic issues are things like the decline of unionization and the divergence of wages from productivity and profit. Big money donors don't want you touching that.

The democrats ran with and lied about Joe Biden. That is why you now have an unhinged narcissist running the show.
Additionally, we didn't prosecute the ring leader of the Jan. 6 insurrection. We need to finish reconstruction and punish the people who spread hate, fear, and anger. We can only grow divided otherwise.

No he wouldnt have. The non voters didnt make enough of a difference and people who voted for trump over harris and said it was because of Gaza are not serious people and should not be catered to.
Yeah, it’s not like there was national movement of voters threatening to withhold their vote or anything.

Well that sure worked out exactly how every single person with a functioning brain told them it would.

> Lawyers would tell you that water isn't wet Sure, but do you really think the Fox News anchors honestly believed what they were saying? I’d venture a guess: no. They said what they said because that’s what they had to do to get their paycheck at the end of the day. Yes, lawyers will say whatever to win a case. But I highly doubt those news anchors really thought the election was stolen. It’s all for ratings. Let’s…
Jeanine Pirro likes to talk about Treason for example. When Trump is accused of it, her background as a lawyer kicks in and she can correctly articulate the reasons why Trump has not committed Treason. However, in any other case she will accuse all manner of folks of committing treason and request they face harsh consequences. Fox News is lies and rage bait.
Unpopular opinion: Paper ballots with in person voting (with an ID) is the only 100% fool proof and verifiable voting system. Everything else could be manipulated or hacked. And when there's trillions of dollars and world power on the line, it's just a matter of time when the "could be" turns to "would be".
Is there evidence that in person voting is meaningfully more secure than other forms (like mail in voting) let alone 100% fool proof? Even assuming it is, how do we solve the other issues it causes if it's the only way to vote? e.g.: - How do US citizens that don't live or are not at the time of voting physically in the US vote? e.g. overseas military personnel. - People that live in remote areas of the country witho…
Disenfranchisement is not just a side effect, it's the main effect of this thought process.

If the left were really the left they wouldn’t be the left though. The NBC left is the problem, the Democracy Now left is not. The left doesn’t want Bernie, Chomsky or Amy Goodman they want The View. Turns out young men don’t want The View, so the left is stuck now much like the American right because there is no ideological coherence, just aesthetic and hatred for the other team however they are imagined (e.g. “tax…
The problem with Democrats winning elections (since 2016) has been the ideological purity tests their social-left demands from candidates, rendering them toxic to independents.
It'd be nice if internet SJWs grew up and realized that winning elections with "don't ask don't tell" is better than losing elections with overly socially progressive platforms.
It feels like a large chunk of the party would rather lose an election smugly than win it with compromise.
Republicans since 2014 have been in somewhat of the same mutually exclusive bind, which is why Trump emerged as the primary candidate. Turns out reconciling mutually exclusive promises is possible if you're willing to say things without intending to do them and bank on charisma and a cult of personality.
Tl;dr - Democrats need to cure their case of SJW Tourette's. When someone asks a question about trans rights, say "I support equality for all Americans, because that's what our Constitution promises" and leave it at that.

The other candidate went on stage and said - he’d lower the grocery prices on day 1 , and then declares off-stage: once prices go up, they never come down . He told Palestinian-Americans in Michigan - he’d bring peace in Palestine . People were so desperate to hear what they wanted to hear - whether lower prices or peace back home. He sold lies to everyone; I don’t see Democrats doing that. Ironically, prices are com…
