  • Its not some weird secret conspiracy by the Democratic leadership. The GOP generally has a much easier job. They get what they want by preventing anything from getting done. It’s much harder to create than destroy. Yes it’s on Democrat officials to actually follow through on their platform when they have the ability, but we can’t give them 51% in a system that requires 60% and be surprised when we don’t get sweeping legislation passed.

    That’s before you factor in how different the demographic makeup of the parties being so different. The Democratic coalition includes far left, progressives, and moderates across the political spectrum with very different ideas. Some good, some bad. Some honest civil servants, some corporate sell outs. The GOP is made up of people who simply disagree about how public they want to make their goals known, they all have the same evil vision and they will all sell out their country.











  • There are a lot of people who don’t consume any news whatsoever. They’re too busy trying to survive to remember shit from 4 years ago and just want their lives improved. If you aren’t following this stuff day to day it’s easy to forget just how cartoonishly insane that fucker is.

    I just don’t get why people believe there’s this elusive “undecided” vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.

    I think there is a small segment of voters that could be swayed by reminding them just how chaotic Trump was/is. We’re playing with margins of 10s of thousands of votes in a couple states so every little bit is going to matter.
