I am convinced at this point that while maybe that's true for ground level dem campaign staff, donors and strategists wiuld absolutely rather tank an election than permit real change away from establishment policies

LastInLine posted:There is no neoliberal project because we live in it, it's here already. "America is already great". Even if you're in the bourgeoisie, you're well aware that your position is tenuous if and increasingly when things turn downward. Your only two political choices are those telling you things are fine when you know they aren't and conservatives willing to point to "others" whose fault things aren't better. In the absence of a political solution, blame is at least more palatable than throwing in with the people who got you here. this is a pretty good insight tbh, you can't win people over by telling them that this is as good as it gets.

neither party is interested in the huge segment of eligible voters that just don't vote, because they're not as white and don't have any money https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2014/10/31/the-party-of-nonvoters-2/

Maximo Roboto posted:He did engage non-engaged voters, but isn't that just because of population growth. Biden got more votes than Trump in 2020, and Trump got more votes than he did in 2016. Do you think Biden won primarily because D voters thought to themselves "Biden will be a good president" or because "Trump is bad we need a different guy" because one of those reasons won't apply in 2024, and the R voters will turn out for whatever psychopath the GOP floats. 2020 results should have been utterly terrifying to D strategists but they're too busy going up their own asses with poo poo like that Hillary acceptance speech lmao e: also, turnout percentage wise was unusually high for both parties, in spite of COVID which certainly discouraged some portion of voters https://www.brookings.edu/research/turnout-in-2020-spiked-among-both-democratic-and-republican-voting-groups-new-census-data-shows/

sorry yeah I edited my post with more info that followed up on that, the percentage of both parties' participation went way up in 2020. it's not just population growth. e: by the way that previous big spike in 1992 is Bill Clinton vs. George HW Bush Flesh Forge has issued a correction as of 23:36 on Dec 8, 2021 |

Pentecoastal Elites posted:I keep expecting dem sinecure losers from sure thing states like illinois and new york to be like "...guys? hey? hey guys??" but it never seems to come. do they honestly think people will forget about this and feel fine by next november? do they expect anything to get any better? I know they're insanely loving dumb, but this much, at this time, staring down the barrel of a +10 R break twelve months from midterms? when you consider maybe their goal is not to win elections at all, but to maintain the status quo as "the other party" and allow no third competitors, it all makes a lot more sense.

it bothers me that the lesson they're taking from that is "inclusive language is bad" when I expect a portion of respondents literally went "oh that's what Hillary said, gently caress that"

I am still 100% convinced that particular stunt was more of a reaction to Mitt Romney than anything else, Romney made a point of being video'd marching with protesters and saying "black lives matter" one day before they did the kente cloth stunt. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/07/politics/mitt-romney-black-lives-matter-protest/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/08/politics/democrats-criticized-kente-cloth-trnd/index.html

vyelkin posted:imo it isn't that inclusive language is bad, it's that people know that politicians who cloak generic, meaningless promises in inclusive language never actually do anything good for them, and they respond much better, unsurprisingly, to politicians who are willing to bluntly name both their goals and their enemies. I don't think it is either, and I don't think the study actually says that, but a lot of people obviously do believe any form of inclusive language is bad, and not just conservatives.

People even in liberal California continue walking around without masks like the old days despite new mask mandate and cases have not gone up significantly. Based on Omicron the virus seems to be getting weaker. In America we are now post-pandemic and the remaining people need to get vaccinated and get back in line. The government aid pigout is over. this is some dumb ole liberal bullshit
