The impression should not at all be the candidate almost lost because they were bad, it's clear that Trump and what he stands for is incredibly strong

Like, people didn't vote for Trump because he was an unknown. They voted for him because they liked him.

OwlFancier posted:It is perhaps worth asking why, given his open contempt for the processes of the government, so many people apparently hate the government and the democrats in particular, though. And what the new administration should be doing about that, if you get one. We already have people in this very thread saying that they wish Trump had won and think that might've been better. In that light, how could that possibly be a surprise?

Seven Hundred Bee posted:i am very tired and hungover, but i do think figuring out how to essentially deprogram the 40% of our population which has willingly joined a cult and has an entirely irreconcilable and different worldview to the rest of us is... not easy. Iowa had a completely mismanaged farming disaster and it changed nothing. My only real take away from all of this is the messaging matters more.

BougieBitch posted:Just because 60% vote for min wage and 60% vote for legal weed does mean it's the same 60%. If you put every progressive issue in a ballot and they all individually win, that doesn't mean that a candidate with that exact combination of policies would win, because the people who voted yes on one might vote no on the other and looking at single-issue polling doesn't tell you anything about the weighted importance of those issues relative to one another. many people want to make more money and also hate, e.g, abortion. you're correct that these outcomes give insight but nothing concrete.

Gaius Marius posted:I didn't call him pathetic I said his attitude was pathetic. Throwing pity parties has done jack poo poo for the left. We have no idea what's going to be happening two years from now. Acting like everything is hopeless because Mitch still controls the senate is just giving yourself permission to give up fighting for what you believe in. In January, I was inches from toxxing for Trump to get it emotionally out of the way. I expected him to win re-election. Almost every president does. A victory is a victory.

kronix posted:That you for a very not dumb take. Also, Biden turned out his people. Trump turned out people that no one ever expected and certainly weren't motivated by "fear of Joe Biden" (not even Republicans cited this). This was a turnout election and we had no idea that there truly was a +7 Nazi Adjustment across the board we were secretly fighting the whole time.

TheDisreputableDog posted:This might generate a wave of snark, but the proposed Muslim ban drove my 2016 decision to not vote for Trump. I changed my registration literally the day after the “good people on both sides” presser. So I guess I buy into the Lincoln Project’s general thesis, country before party. I think there are a lot of people like you. Thank you for making the switch. I know that the Democratic Party probably doesn't represent a lot of your interests very well, but I appreciate you understanding the priority of the nation.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:Yeah, I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that it was about Joe losing. It was a personal promise to not advocate for him because they taught he sucked. Presumably, they still think he sucks. And of course it was also to gently caress with some D&D posters, that's why they added the special Swing State version. Yeah, for anyone who was claiming it wasn't about triggering other users, the "special" version? come on.

I love people constantly rolling out the Strom Thurmond eulogy, having never listened to it, where Biden (requested by strom to speak) basically goes on and says Thurmond was a racist but he was glad became less racist over time and that Biden thought it was weird he was asked to speak

GamingHyena posted:Didn’t a higher percentage of Republicans vote Trump in 2020 than 2016? What did the LP actually do to influence the election besides producing meme worthy ads for Democrats to consume? That doesn't mean it's necessarily attributable to them. Give it time, we'll figure out some stuff. Maybe it's 94 without, who knows at this point. This is really something that you can't determine ahead of time with that much precision.

It's extremely stupid to blame the Lincoln project, really for anything. There's absolutely no way to know if Republicans would have been 94% for Trump if they hadn't existed versus 93, or whether they would've been 89, instead of 93. Or whatever. There's literally no way to disentangle their effect from whatever happened. This is a super dumb fight, and frankly AOC is dumb for having it.

I'm saying that it's dumb to have this specific fight when there's literally no way to ever know who is right or wrong about it. There are way better things to be doing right now than having petty ideological fights among ostensible allies.

Harold Fjord posted:Republicans are not our allies and our fights with them are not loving "petty", gently caress you. Especially when they were acting doing what you all said they should be doing, running negative ads during Trump's illness. You especially can't retroactively blame them for doing the things we (including AOC) said should be done! And again, in this time of very little good info on what affected what, AOC immediately blazing guns on an insufficiently pure organization is frankly dumb. I wouldn't be surprised if Lincoln Project got some Republicans to vote Libertarian. If that were the effect, they may have saved the election. We will never know, and definitely not right now.
