The Right in this country is held together by iron discipline and a seething hatred of the Other (city liberals, gays, minorities, the youth, foreigners, immigrants). They're a true party in every sense, despite deep and lasting divisions between the party cadres, libertarian tax activists, big business, the Christian wing, ex-industrial proletariat, and upper-middle class suburban votes. The Left-Libs are handicapped by bad candidates, poorly run campaigns, and party leadership increasingly out of touch, beholden to corporate interests. Leadership would rather offer smug self-satisfaction that they aren't as bad as Republicans rather than a policy platform which stands for any drat thing and isn't handicapped by means testing, sliding scales, and other poo poo no ordinary person understands or wants to understand. The idea that there isn't a solid (electoral or otherwise) majority of voters out there who, with the right messaging and policies, could be persuaded to vote in large numbers is pure defeatism. There are. And they aren't just waiting for another good-looking celebrity politician, either. The entire party has to be restructured from the ground up and turned into something even halfway resembling a real party.

Hodgepodge posted:i honestly think that a large portion of the "left" just likes affirmation of the idea that they are better than the right, and the awfulness of the right, democratic polticians, and human suffering all facilitate this and are therefore nothing but the desired result eh, the firebagger portion of the left would be equally thrilled to turn on a president sanders the moment he needs to compromise with centrists to get anything done. the cspam thread would be something like "post sad bernie cucks realizing that their socialist messiah sold them out" also, leftie activism in the primaries of senate and house races is also really important to give any future dem president the votes to get their domestic agenda through congress. if the green party (for example) was serious about moving an agenda instead of grandstanding, it could stay out of the presidential races for now and focus hard on getting some seats in congress in deep blue states. build up party infrastructure and some dem allies, be like a pseudo-parliamentary coalition. eventually it might become strong enough to force the dems to either move left or be supplanted as the second major national party. but right now they're just someone's vanity project every 4 years

https://twitter.com/sofiepearl61/status/839835075785199616 I've noticed a real difference between people that say "i voted" versus "we voted" - the latter is your generic ooh raa simpleton who believes the difference between the president and Congress is the same as ownership and management of a their city name sports team. I voteds are your quintessential swing demographic - your bandwagon fan. Like the above they're too dumb to read policy, too angry to have consistent voting patterns, but they lack that chip in their brain that impels them to follow one team. They just hop on the hot ticket and complain when they are inevitably disappointed by a sport they are too ignorant to follow

She dismissed his campaign pledges to scrap the Affordable Care Act as bluster. That was literally his signature campaign promise, gently caress!

I have some relatives who made it a point to go get their own insurance instead of going through Obamacare because they didn't want to touch anything tainted my a Kenyan socialist Muslim or something whatever. They got turbofucked by their deductibles for years and kept going on about how bad Obamacare was. Now their insurance is gonna go up bigly under the Republican plan.
