dem strategy is flawless

On the other hand, the Republican strategy of hauling the Pelosi boogy(wo)man out every time they get in trouble seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. Dems deserve this for having a leadership team dominated by octogenarians

to get tens of millions of corporate and dnc backing requires you dont offend the donor class so you basically have no actual platform to run on to improve joe schmoe's life

also you usually need corporate and dnc backing to run as a democrat anywhere competitively

it's possibly because of the new deal / great society poo poo that we're here with the democrats

they began seeing politics as not working to make things better for people, but rather governing the country and keeping a "calm hand" on things (while raking in more and more power and money for yourselves) and playing the whole decorum game

My eyes are literally bloodshot red from crying for the last hour, and I just threw up from the stress. I can't believe we lost again. The president sexually assaults people, the Republican in Montana bodyslams people, and this bitch in Georgia refuses to let women with breast cancer get treatment. And the worst part is people still vote for them! It's happening. We are in 1930s Nazi Germany. We must resist

he probably did better precisely because no one knew about the race, or turned out to vote in it. dems are more enthusiastic to turn out to vote right now, they'll go vote in state house races in big numbers, but there's still more republicans in these areas that will win the race if they're motivated to go out and vote.
