Trabisnikof posted:its a big tent party, you can't expect 100% of democrats to agree. remember, we support and elect anti-choice democrats even after the fall of roe, after all. what?? im as leftist as they come, but this plan is crazy we can't risk trying to nominate leftists to win these formerly republican districts! only anti-choice or pro-genocide candidates can win those districts! you're just too naive. you should be thankful that we're getting a candidate who agrees with you 20% of the way instead of wasting time and effort primarying them and risking republicans win. thank goodness anyone who primaries a sitting conservative democrat will get blacklisted by the party, as they should.

me, personally, even though I get a yearly raise it has been outpaced by inflation pretty strongly so as a matter of fact I would enjoy having 2019 prices with my 2019 wage

All the democrats are good for is triangulating the world into a shittier position. Nixon was awful, but wasn't super anti-private sector union, so Carter decided to triangulate on unions and thought that being super anti-union would let democrats keep the south. oops Reagan and HW Bush weren't super pro-Israel, so Clinton saw a chance to triangulate on Israel and secure the hawkish vote. oops Clinton saw Reagan be open to immigration and decided to go hard anti-immigration, much like Obama did when it looked like W Bush was open to immigration reform. oops. Democrats' go to move is "we've given republicans everything that they said they needed, why do they ask for more and not give us credit for betraying all our constituencies?"

has anyone come up with any evidence whatsoever that the media is driving these negative feelings about the economy? because all i ever see is every major media outlet praising the economy. do they mean the media talking about polls showing that people are unhappy with the economy? cause even then it's always paired with this messaging about how wacky the poll results are considering that the economy is in fact doing great.

People who make a living either as communication consultants or as mouthpieces for the democratic party think that the problem is a communication issue and that therefore they should get more money to do their jobs. It's as simple as that. Any look at data beyond simplistic "gdp per capita" type bullshit shows a very lovely economy.

Those are democrat-issued talking points issued to media, aka "narratives." They are literally reading off bullet points distributed to them by the WH & biden campaign. So no, there's no evidence that it's anything but the battle between "narratives" and voters' lying eyes.

this is complete nonsense because inflation means your wages in 2023 are now worse than they were in 2019 relative to the price of things you need to buy with those wages
