LastInLine posted:You act like the dems are in favor of those programs. They aren't. There are two parties, both want the same thing but the GOP are twenty years ahead of the dems. They are both moving toward the same outcome, one is not opposition for the other. The GOP has a political project and thus are building the society they want while the dems have a grift and as such have to pretend the political system works to give themselves the air of legitimacy and it is in perpetuating that fiction that the dems normalize the actions of the vanguard GOP. these things take time. dont give up hope and optimism just because one or two elections didnt go the way you wanted it to.

Sylink posted:they love talking about national level politics on their county facebook pages over and over one consequence of social media destroying local news is that everyone, including politicians, is way more obsessed with what's happening in DC than what's happening in their own town, which means both that people are more easily polarized because they're fighting their neighbours over national-level culture war stuff instead of things that affect the actual daily life of their neighbourhood, and that it's way easier to win local fights if you're able to actually build your campaign around something local and remind people that the things that affect their daily lives are more important most recent example of this is the virginia election: mcauliffe was obsessed with national-level Trump stuff, and youngkin successfully mobilized voters around a state-level issue (that he made up, but still), which made mcauliffe look incredibly out of touch but you also see the same thing with, like nimby movements or local anti-abortion extremists taking over city councils, where small groups are able to win because they actually show up on local issues while everybody else is posting on facebook about how crazy the latest trump tweet was
