a coworker told me in 2020 that the dems acceptance of science would accelerate their demographic destiny as all the republicans died off or some such nonsense

I think he just popped positive a second time after a family vacation to Mexico lmao. thankfully he accepted the science and travelled internationally during a pandemic (safely).

I have family members like that. They'll talk about how bad it is and then immediately start posting instagram pics of bars and parties and then hop on a plane to Greece or Mexico for the weekend. If you bring it up, you get accused of being toxic to their mental well-being.

there will be protests if '24 is stolen, which will be immediately condemned by democrats who don't want to appear to be doing a 1/6

the republican congress will still hold hearings on the "radical left insurrection" regardless

The liberal elite media will cheer it on until someone yells at McConnell at a restaurant, at which point they will condemn the protestors and say we need to move on.

Obama will beam down from planet billionaire to say we just need to vote harder next time.

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 also serves the purpose of smothering and dissipating any public anger that manages to organize itself into a leftward movent.

Like I’ve said before we have vaccines, boosters, treatments, even pills for Covid. 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.

A Buttery Pastry posted:

A strategy leading to defeat is one thing. Shifting your focus from "inevitable final triumph due to demographics" to "inevitable defeat due to irrational voters who don't realize that they're supposed to vote for the good guys" is something quite different. I mean, in both cases the thing they're actively doing is not doing anything for the people they want to get votes from, in one case they just assume the votes will keep coming, in the other they realize they won't.

It's not so much that voters won't vote for the good guys, it's the ethos that democratic values are inherently in the minority, so fighting for (or even promising) expansion is pointless and all you can do is try to hold on to the status quo as long as possible before the inevitable defeat.

It's great that no one is even talking about standing for something or going into politics because you want to move the country ahead: The only winning move is apparently constantly looking at polling numbers and never advocating for anything that isn't backed by polling numbers. Maybe people would be more willing to vote for a party that has some actual values and convictions? And maybe advocating and explaining good policies would move polling numbers in their favor?

They don't even do that when the poll numbers show inconvenient things, like support for socialized healthcare.
