Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Because it can get worse. This seems obvious.
Of course it can and will. But just like Weimar Germany, the centrist parties (or in this case, the only non-fascist party) are too busy with their heads up their asses (or scare mongering about socialism) instead of solving people's issues. Why would they support the party that will punish the few representatives they have any time they stand up for Muslim issues?
BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE IS WORSE.
This also seems PAINFULLY obvious.
The alternative in this case being "treating people like you need their votes."
The party would rather have Trump than the nightmare scenario of acting like their voters are worth anything.
Look, I can’t keep people from hurting themselves. I will call them morons leading up to and afterwards though.
Same as I did for dipshits in red states losing maternity wards now. /shrug
You'd rather blame people for a loss than try to win.
I’m simply reminding people of the reality that either the Dem or Rep will win.
If you need a group of people to vote for you, you need to get their votes.
If you have a scapegoat to blame for any loss, you don't need to do anything to get anyone's votes. You'd rather have the scapegoat.
That has nothing to do with what I said.
You are desperate to say anything except admit I’m right about that simple fact.
The choice is between Biden and Trump, yes. One of them will win, assuming neither dies of old age before then. I never argued otherwise and don't intend to start.
Now that I said the thing that you want, how has that changed the situation? Has that suddenly made this group more likely to vote for Biden?
You get to pretend you won an argument against someone who wasn't arguing against the non-point you kept spamming. Congratulations. It's not me you need to convince. I'm already voting for Biden.
If you need their votes, you need to secure their votes.
I think someone just needs to remind them of how Trump literally tried to stop the transfer of power last time and any “recalibration” the Dems might do will mean FUCK ALL if Trump gets his way next time as there might not be another election.
They know that now and are leaving anyway.
If Democrats don't adjust before the election, they won't get these voters back. Call them any name you want, it'll make you feel better. Make all the dismissals and accusations you want. But none of that will get them back.
They’ll regret it.
But here we go again. Only way some people learn is by putting their hand back on the hot burner a second time.
Maybe the party should try to get their votes instead. But they'd rather have Trump.
Or they believe they’re doing the right thing. Have you considered that?
Anyone who expects me to believe supporting genocide is the right thing is not worth my continued effort.
That's the entire party platform.
Both options keep getting worse and continuing to paly a rigged game isn't worth it. The Republicans might just cheat and win and all.the.Biden capitulation will have been for nothing
You show me the policies the Democrats have that comes even close to this- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
I mean I don't like the Democrats, but my god... Trump and his people want a one-party state with him as dictator for life and one of his kids succeeding him.
The capitulation would have been for stopping that.
Don't worry. There will be no shortage of people clutching their pearls and smugly saying they stood up for their ideals by not voting for Democrats, as they ride to concentration camps.
Pft no they'll just continue to blame Democrats. How dare they make you vote for the Republican because they weren't inspiring enough for your vote?
