The republicans fear their base, the democrats loathe their base.

Republicans definitely loathe their base

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

Maybe, but the fear prevents them from expressing as much; they regularly change their positions and messaging to match whatever the rabid hogs that make up the core of their base are baying for.

Meanwhile democrats see it as a virtue to stand up to their base. West Wing has done irreparable damage to their brains.

they fear and loath them.

that because republicans will stop voting for them in a hearbeat; while democrats will also vote blue no matter who ... and what.

[-] Draces@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Dems literally just lost because their base didn't show up what are you talking about?

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

they lost the presidential election, we still have mostly the same dems as before

[-] Draces@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

What does that have to do with Dems always voting blue when they clearly didn't? To remind you what your point was since you seem to have forgotten:

democrats will also vote blue no matter who … and what.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

it's simple: they either vote blue or they don't vote

Yes and not voting blue is the antithesis of:

vot[ing] blue no matter who

But also, Republicans vote Red or don't vote. It's in the name. You keep making meaningless points.
