If Obama had posted this INSANE shit on Sunday morning, they would be opening up the doors of Congress

33. You are making a lot of assumptions

Our approach with each candidate being a free agent is insulting, condescending, and IT HAS NOT WORKED.

It HAS worked. It is actually how Bill Clinton got elected and is actually happening RIGHT NOW on the state/county/local levels, with individual candidates actually listening to their OWN constituents' needs and coming up with ways to address them because THAT is who they are serving.

Demanding that a Texan give up their guns because of the proliferation of "ghost guns" (3-D printed) in NYC is not a "unifying" message for locales like that, especially among the gun-owning Democrats there. It's the same as saying "defund the police" (which I understood the context of but which was twisted into something it wasn't).

Any "message" has to generate and tap into a psychological/impulsive issue, which is what the GOP has always done to attract voters.

Talking about millionaires and billionaires was done repeatedly in 2024 and people didn't care because they are so far removed from those people and unfortunately also like to watch programming that showcases their lifestyles and leisure activities.

WE CREATED TRUMP.

"WE" who call ourselves Democrats, did no such damn thing. The GOP and their billionaire funders did that.

What they did was to prey on gut EMOTIONS - racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism, and xenophobia because "emotions work". It did for us with the overturning of Roe.
