And I just remembered this.

Why was that a talking point against Sanders? "He can't win states that were never going to go to blue in the first place"

"sure he gets african american support in pa, wi, mi, but have you looked at these south carolina numbers??"

e: this was a real Serious Person argument since those states could never go red

there's also the fact that no state is inherently conservative. yeah the South definitely has some inertia working against it but if the dems hadn't neglected it for decades they'd at least be able to compete

It's the same stupid argument that came up when Ossoff ate poo poo. "It's actually a victory because he did well in a Republican district!" like loving hell do you not know how democracy works

They didn't call dibs on it or anything! It's only a Republican district because you didn't loving win it

You have to talk with people, not at them.

There's people in the Democrats that are likely willing and wanting to do that. There's people on the left that are definitely willing to that. The problem is these people are not in prominent positions of power. In fact when they speak up? They're silenced, smeared with accusations of racism., sexism, etc, and some corporate speak friendly robot is moved up a rung.

it's dumb b/c Ossoff performed significantly worse in the district than hillary in 2016. it wasn't a victory in any sense of the word at all. it was a humiliating defeat

normally i wouldn't call a dropoff of 2 percentage points "significant," but considering that a 2 point swing the other way would have been a victory....

When people are complaining your only message is "we're not them", that's not the cue to pitch it as a jokey campaign slogan.

The Bush presidency was just as harmful as Trump's has been. Every republican president for decades has deeply damaged the world and the democrats haven't been much better.

Hmm, no, I'm pretty sure that starting the Iraq War for literally no reason is still worse than trying to institute a travel ban. The fact that people even have to say that "Bush was worse than Trump" is so ridiculous it's almost beyond the pale.

Maybe Trump will be worse than Bush. But at this point: bodycount.
