And this is why Democrats will keep losing.

Democrats will keep losing because that’s their sole purpose.

Ratchet effect.

The Republicans tug on the levers of power pulling everything right.

The Democrats’ duty is to normalize and rationalize while the GOP resets for the next tug.

There are Democrats that do actually care, but the DNC leadership is well right of center and would rather lose to Trump than win with Burnie.

Democrats will always lose because liberals are right of center nimby turds that will continue to worship capitalism as we all burn.

Anyone expecting the Democrats to save them is ignoring this is the first election in decades no state Democrat contested any result and PA, NY, and NV all show results that are statically impossible and obviously manipulated.

People think the Democrats are losing relevance because they’re “Too woke”, and “No one cares about transpeople when there are bills to pay”

It’s really because they do shit like try to compromise with someone who wants to kill you by agreeing to let them cut off an arm.

Nobody thinks that. This is the excuse democrats use to not own up to their right wing campaign with Liz Cheney.

Sadly there are many people who voted for Trump because Democrats are “Communists and Woke!” and that they “Invented Transpeople to help Obama destabilize American Women’s Sports!”

“I don’t want any harm to me?”

Republicans: I want blood. You have it. Give your body to me to harm.

Democrats: Look he said he wants blood, have you considered they are frustrated with this economy? Maybe a figner as an olive branch will solve this. …not mine.

At this point US needs leaders who can mobilize people and spearhead protest marches in the street. AOC is perfectly positioned to call for such protest march. If she does that and become figurehead of the Dem Allies against MuskTrump axis, she might get elevated to same status as MLK and may be even Lincoln. And on that note, why Kamala is quiet ?

Kamala is 100% corporate Dem, and they helped create this mess. She has zero interest in recognizing that she was and is part of the problem.

Kamala Harris is the new Hillary Clinton. The GOP boogeyman and now political poison after she embarrassingly lost to Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris was deeply unpopular both before and during the Biden administration, and (sorry to say it, but it’s true) she was largely picked because there was pressure for Biden to pick a minority female to “balance out” the fact that he was a white man. You know how some people, particularly (but not entirely) on the right, believe that affirmative action means that minorities end up getting positions that they otherwise probably wouldn’t have gotten because someone needs to fill a “diversity quota” or whatever? That’s how a lot of people felt about Harris – picked not because of her qualifications, but because she was a black woman.

She’s basically been the poster child for this as far as the GOP is concerned ever since. And not in a good way. Right now, with anti-DEI sentiment gaining traction in this country at a record pace and DEI initiatives becoming political battery acid, the last thing you want as the face of the movement is someone believed to be the poster child for DEI initiatives run amok.

I do not think AOC has remote same appeal or adeptness of rhetoric to ever do something like this. Would recommend listening to MLKs speeches if haven’t already. Someone like that will come eventually, but they can’t be forced into that position. Also, the situation has to call for it. If it were possible to wake up and choose to be MLK we’d have a million.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
