Look, if these complete morons on the Right want to vote against their self-interests and America, they are beyond help, and all I will do is keep working my a-- off to make sure people understand this.
What we have is a failure to communicate on the Left.
The truth is these people support the America-attacking blowhard because he stirs their cold blood. He makes them feel good about looking backward instead of at all the possibilities ahead. He makes them feel good about thinking they are the only thing that matters and that they have somehow been cheated out of their dark, empty lives.
They don’t want to make America better. They want to make everybody else’s lives worse.
All they are is angry, and have finally found a lewd, racist conman who can put a megaphone to their tantrums, and deal the rest of America plenty of pain. He has no goddamn answers for them or us.
What we have right now is a MASSIVE messaging problem.
From the minute the Biden Administration took power it worked like hell to tackle a global crisis that was exacerbated by the previous administration. I mean, holy s— even infrastructure got done, and do you know who has benefited most from that? White people.
If that didn’t resonate, it’s not because it didn’t happen. It’s because too many people didn’t know about it.
Democrats have no message, progressives suck at talking, Republicans are good at talking because they know it’s all they have.
But at a certain point people do just have to be smart enough to see that something so obviously bad is bad. You really can’t work around it.
Which is why the American status quo (as opposed to “humanity”) is a virus that the earth is healing by means of a fever. Our best is better than this, but we’re graded on our average.
I’d say Republicans are good at saying thing that appeal to human emotions, not talking.
To hell if they really go through what they promise. And they will take credit for things they have no parts in because it riles up their base.
I mean, what was Trump platform exactly? The concept of a plan. Same as Doug Ford.
Still, they were elected.
At this point, the Democrats saving grace would be to go more left and proposing actual progressive programs and ditch the status quo. But the brass of the DNC don’t have the interest of the people first.
I disagree that the left is bad at talking, it’s the North American culture that sucks at dealing with confrontation and dealing with things they disagree with. Any once of heated debate is too much and is seen as a big conflict instead of a healthy thing. So instead, any disagreement is automatically brought to the extreme because it is taken personally.
Anyways, this is a complex subject and there are many things that needs to be done differently.
