No shit. Also they don’t fucking matter because they out fundraised the republicans this time and still fucking lost
Well, the Democrats don't have an entire media echo-system in place - multiple tv 'news' channels, a coast-to-coast network of local conservative radio propagandists, an entire chain of ever-so-slightly-increasingly-radicalized YouTube "hosts" leading from self-improvement and self-appreciation through to denigration and hatred of others - turns out, the easiest way for the alt-right to make someone feel better about themselves is for them to tell their acolytes that they're great and that someone else is beneath them - doesn't matter if the 'other' are blacks or women or Jews or Muslims or LGBTQ or Hispanics or immigrants or whatever. Just know that "those people" are beneath you, it's okay to physically, legally, emotionally, and socially attack them whenever you feel like it to 'remind them of their place' (especially if you think they might be inclined to overstep it), and everything will be fine ...
'The Democrats' benefit from the above just as much as the alt right does. We have a right wing party and a radical right wing party in this country. The lack of choice is a feature, not a bug.
just a little more money and that conservative will surely switch sides … anytime now …
Democrans and Republicrats. The system failed for the last time. The ruling class needs to go.
As bad as the Democrats fundraising tactics are, the Republicans were even worse. At one point during the 2020 election my phone was buzzing for 10 minutes straight with some 70% being Republican fundraising messages. Democrats maxed out at 20 messages in one day,but then I do live in a state that’s not going blue anytime soon.
