When polls come out about individual issues they show Americans in favor of progressive policies. If the Dems can’t turn that into election outcomes it’s their failure

I’m responding to the sentence that I quoted. That sentence demonizes an entire generation unnecessarily.
The tactic of shaming and blaming voters LOST. I understand where you’re coming from but stop doing LOSER shit if you don’t want to keep LOSING
They don’t identify that way but most Americans are in favor of progressive policies when asked
It was so right wing that it got endorsed by evil warmonger dick cheney.
She didnt win over rightwingers anyway
Gen Z is a generation of infantile incels who refuse to vote for a woman.
42% of them voted for a woman
Progressive policies are actually popular. Universal healthcare is popular, raising the minimum wage is popular. But the Democratic party will only run on half measures that satisfy no one because they are beholden to their corporate funders
What trump does well is saying things that people want to hear. Obama was good at that as well when he first ran. That is what all good candidates do and it’s what the dems should do regardless if they learn it from trump or not
What do you think is better? Preventing fascism or doing nothing and watching a fascist get into power?
I think preventing fascism is better which is why I want a popular candidate because that’s the best way to prevent fascism
Fixing the environment means pushing back against the profit motive of corporations. You can’t fix the climate and stay friendly with big polluters. What the dems are doing are half-measures that will still see our future ruined because they refuse to go against their corporate donors
Did you read the part of my comment where I said I’m NOT a trump voter and that he is NOT better
Medicare for all or universal healthcare is incredibly popular. Peace is also popular.
Which do you think is better? Dems giving people what they want to earn their vote or trump winning?
They pretend better
Because the dnc exists to keep left leaning parties from ever gaining traction in this country
The reason we lost is because people didn’t vote
Do you think the dems should learn anything from this or should they do the same thing again next time and pray the apathetic people change on their own?
If dems want to win they have to find a way to motivate those apathetic people instead of just telling them they are stupid.
What dems should learn is that they need to offer something that clearly improves people’s lives. Universal healthcare or Medicare for all would be a great position to run on and 16 years ago I thought the dems were going to move in that direction but now it seems they’ve given up on the idea.
trump would not be better but dems have made it clear that they dont really take the environment seriously. They say its a crisis and we have to take action but then they open up more fracking and give more money to military contractors. This doesnt make me a trump voter but it does make me tune them out when they make appeals about climate because I know the dems will still sell the climate down the river in favor of big corporate lobbies when in power. That kind of double talk makes people give up on parties and stop caring.
Clearly the campaign cared because they publicized Cheneys endorsement
